Senior Systemingenieur (m/w/d)

Titan is seeking a highly experienced Senior Systems Engineer to provide hands-on technical leadership for our hardware engineering organization. This is not a purely analytical or documentation-focused systems engineering position. We are looking for a seasoned engineer who is comfortable working directly with hardware, solving problems on the floor, reviewing designs, coordinating engineering disciplines, and helping a multidisciplinary team execute at a high level. The Senior Systems Engineer will serve as a key technical leader within the Massachusetts engineering team and will help translate product requirements into robust, manufacturable, deployable systems. The ideal candidate has strong systems-engineering fundamentals combined with significant practical engineering experience and the judgment that comes from having designed, built, debugged, and delivered complex equipment.

Responsibilities

• Provide day-to-day technical leadership to Titan's multidisciplinary hardware engineering team.
• Lead system-level architecture, requirements definition, design reviews, interface management, integration, and verification.
• Translate product and customer requirements into clear engineering requirements and system specifications.
• Coordinate work across mechanical, electrical, controls, automation, sensing, software, and manufacturing disciplines.
• Identify technical risks, system dependencies, interface problems, and integration issues early in the development process.
• Drive disciplined engineering execution from concept through prototype, validation, production, installation, and customer deployment.
• Lead technical design reviews and ensure engineering decisions are documented and closed.
• Establish appropriate system requirements, interface control documents, verification plans, and acceptance criteria.
• Work directly with engineers to troubleshoot difficult multidisciplinary technical problems.
• Support prototype builds, system integration, commissioning, and customer deployments.
• Ensure designs consider reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, safety, cost, and field performance.
• Coordinate engineering priorities and help maintain execution tempo across multiple simultaneous programs.
• Mentor less-experienced engineers and promote strong engineering practices throughout the organization.
• Work closely with Product, Project Management, Operations, Software, and customer-facing teams.
• Serve as a senior technical escalation point when systems do not perform as expected.
• Help improve Titan's engineering processes without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related engineering field.
• 10+ years of engineering experience developing complex electromechanical or automated systems.
• Strong practical understanding of systems engineering and multidisciplinary product development.
• Demonstrated experience taking complex equipment from requirements through design, integration, validation, and deployment.
• Experience coordinating mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and other technical disciplines.
• Strong root-cause analysis and troubleshooting capabilities.
• Experience developing and managing system requirements and interfaces.
• Strong understanding of design reviews, verification, validation, and engineering change processes.
• Ability to make sound technical decisions with incomplete information.
• Comfortable working directly with engineers, technicians, prototypes, and production equipment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to lead through technical credibility rather than organizational authority.

Preferred Skills

• Experience in one or more of the following areas is highly desirable:
  • Industrial automation
  • Robotics and motion-control systems
  • Machine design
  • Sensors and instrumentation
  • PLC and industrial controls
  • Automated inspection systems
  • Battery manufacturing or battery testing
  • Semiconductor or high-volume manufacturing equipment
  • Automotive manufacturing systems
  • Machine vision or nondestructive testing
  • Data acquisition systems
  • Factory equipment integration
  • Design for manufacturing and assembly
• Experience working in a startup, scale-up, advanced technology company, or other fast-moving engineering environment is strongly preferred.
