What you will do
We currently have a position open for a System Engineer to strengthen both our Research & Development team as well as our Engineering team. Our product creation process is based on the principles of the V-model, where the System Engineer will be responsible on a system function level.
As a System Engineer you will be operating on both sides of the V-model, meaning that in the first place you will be responsible for defining functional requirements and design specifications, for one (or more) system functions of our MetalFAB system. You will provide input towards higher system level specifications and to lower level module specifications and will be working closely together with our System architect, Mechanical Designers and Software Developers.
Secondly you will be also responsible for the integration process of (sub)modules, functions or systems, involving both hard- and software. You will define functional test specifications, execute or monitor test plans and make sure test results are properly reported. By doing so, you will realize and verify the required functional performance, as well as continue to build up knowledge and experience of these system functions including proper product documentation.
Lastly you will also support the trouble shooting and issue resolution process when issues occur with released products, related to your system function responsibility.
