About the Role

We\'re looking for a hands-on Systems Integration Engineer to join our agile, close-knit team - working at the intersection of electronics, firmware, and mechanics. In our R&D labs, you\'ll turn concept into reality : assembling and wiring prototypes, integrating subsystems, running structured tests, and capturing the details that make a build reproducible. You\'ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with electronic, firmware, and mechanical engineers to shape prototypes into robust, field-ready products.

Key Responsibilities

• Assembly & Fabrication (Prototypes & Beta units)
• Assemble mechanical and electrical prototypes, subassemblies, and test setups using appropriate tools and safe practices.
• Construct simple enclosures, mounts, and fixtures as needed.
• Maintain integration assembly work instructions and in-process quality checkpoints; support adherence to defined acceptance criteria.
• Test and Troubleshoot
• Set up and run tests on equipment and prototypes, following defined procedures and safety practices.
• Use common lab instruments (e.g. multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, basic data logging) to capture results accurately.
• Assist in diagnosing issues and support root-cause investigations and corrective actions as required.
• Contribute to calibration, verification, or environmental test activities when needed.
• Documentation
• Create and maintain assembly instructions, checklists, BoMs, and configuration records with version traceability.
• Update documentation as build versions evolve; ensure configuration control and linkage to product versions.
• Record test results clearly and maintain traceable test artefacts.
• CAD Work
• Make practical modifications to CAD models and drawings (e.g., mounts, brackets, panel layouts) in SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor.
• Generate clear part and assembly drawings for internal use and for vendors, including basic callouts where appropriate.
• Support readiness of integration benches / rigs and incoming acceptance for critical components.
• Help maintain an organized, efficient, and safe R&D lab environment.
• Track and manage inventory of parts, tools, and supplies; support kitting for builds and small-batch work.
• Keep benches, fixtures, and tools available and safe for repeatable testing.
• Work closely with electronic, firmware, and mechanical engineers to clarify instructions, report test results, and suggest practical improvements.
• Liaise with suppliers or fabricators on part details and incoming quality when required.
• Communicate status proactively; raise risks early and propose options.
