Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

Applies Systems knowledge and experience to research, design, develop, simulate, and/or validate systems-level software, hardware, architecture, algorithms, and solutions while ensuring system-level requirements and standards are met.

Performs functional analysis to drive requirements and specifications and to define and align with standards for hardware and software.

Develops and analyzes system level design including requirements, interface definition, functional/performance definition, and implementation of a new system or modification of an existing system.

Collaborates with own team and other teams to complete project work, including implementing and testing features and verifying the accuracy of systems.

Develops new and innovative ideas (e.g. IDFs) for a product or feature area.

Drives triage of problems at the system level to determine root cause and presents results of testing and debugging to team members.

Level of Responsibility:

Works independently with minimum supervision.

Decision-making may affect work beyond immediate work group.

Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey information. May require basic negotiation, influence, tact, etc.

Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to make key decisions).

Tasks require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; some planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
