Collaboration is at the heart of this position. You'll work closely with mechanical, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless system integration, guiding designs through validation, acceptance testing, and into operational use. From hands-on system integration and root cause analysis to ensuring compliance with safety, EMC, and regulatory standards, you'll play a key role in delivering dependable electronic equipment solutions.
