Systems Engineer

Job Title

Systems Engineer

Role Summary

The Systems Engineer will define, model, and evaluate magnetic sensing integrated circuits (ICs). You will translate system-level customer requirements into hardware specifications, build behavioral models, and perform hands-on lab validation of silicon while collaborating with IC design, applications, test, and product teams.

Work supports consumer, industrial, and automotive sensing and motor-control applications.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Early-career - 0 to 3 years of relevant academic or industry experience (relevant internships or co-ops valued).

Responsibilities

Support system requirements, modeling, lab characterization, and cross-functional alignment throughout the product lifecycle.

• Translate customer use cases, application notes, and standards into IC-level electrical and functional requirements.
• Develop and run behavioral simulations with MATLAB, Simulink, or Python to analyze magnetic behavior, sensor noise, and mixed-signal processing paths.
• Maintain requirements and verification traceability using requirements-management tools (e.g., Jama Connect).
• Set up lab testbenches and validate silicon performance against system requirements across operating conditions.
• Characterize system behavior and produce validation summary reports.
• Create technical collateral: datasheets, application notes, and design calculation tools.
• Coordinate with Analog/Digital IC Design, Test Engineering, Applications, and Marketing to align product deliverables.

Requirements

Required skills and preferred qualifications.

• Proficiency with numerical modeling and simulation in MATLAB, Simulink, or Python.
• Foundational knowledge of analog circuits, digital logic, signal processing, and feedback/control systems.
• Hands-on experience with standard electrical lab equipment (oscilloscope, power supply, function generator, multimeter) from coursework, projects, or internships.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and ability to work in multidisciplinary teams.
• Eligible to work in the U.S. without employer sponsorship (the company will not sponsor visas for this position).

• Internship or project experience in semiconductor, automotive electronics, or motor-control industries.
• Exposure to serial automotive/sensor protocols (SPI, I2C, SENT, CAN, PWM).
• Familiarity with functional safety concepts (ISO 26262) or requirements-management systems.
• Basic PCB design or automated test-setup experience (Altium, KiCad, MATLAB-based test automation, Python scripting).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field. Relevant internships or co-op experience are strongly valued.
