Partner Radio Product Systems Engineer

Our Engineering Team is seeking a Product Systems Engineer for the Partner Radio team, focused on software defined radio on partner platforms. You will be responsible for end-to-end systems engineering of our cutting-edge tactical radio products, from requirements definition, through design, integration, debug, verification/validation, and on to post-release support. You will develop deep knowledge of the hardware and software components in our embedded system architecture and leverage that knowledge to make system design decisions and triage error behavior. This is a hands-on role for system operation at the user level (configure, connect, operate, etc.) as well as at the developer level (instrument, characterize, debug, enhance, etc.).

Responsibilities

Lead, execute, and support system engineering tasks; Coordinate with Business Development and Product Management to define product requirements and features; Decompose system requirements into subsystem requirements for efficient implementation in hardware, FPGA, DSP, and microprocessor-based subsystems; Lead the development of system architecture and design for complex communication systems across RF, PHY, MAC, networking, and application layers; Collaborate with subsystem leads to ensure that requirements are complete, well-communicated, and understood; Support detailed design questions from developers throughout implementation; Monitor development progress to identify implementation risks and work with subsystem leads to minimize project impacts; Develop integration and validation strategy and plans in conjunction with system test leadership; Oversee software product validation to ensure that requirements are met; Support system-level debug efforts to resolve complex issues efficiently; Collaborate with hardware and manufacturing teams to define manufacturing test and calibration requirements and identify critical process parameters; Oversee manufacturing ramp and monitor critical production data to ensure quality requirements are being met; Support internal and external customers; Provide technical proposal support; Lead and participate in technical customer presentations and meetings; Work with program management and project engineering leads to define development milestones, schedules, and budgets; Provide hands-on technical support to business team and external customers for product trials and demonstrations; Lead demonstrations of emerging products and technologies throughout the product development process; Author and present technical white papers at customer and industry events to further TrellisWare’s reputation as a communication systems leader; Act as a subject matter expert and provide direction, review, and mentoring to other engineering staff
