To thrive in this role, we imagine that you bring some of the following qualifications:

• Experience working with systems engineering in complex, software‑intensive products or solutions, including the development of system‑level requirements and specifications in close collaboration with Software Developers
• Strong experience with requirements analysis, specification, system design, and verification, combined with the ability to understand both the broader system context and the technical details needed to support development teams
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to break down complex challenges into clear, actionable, and well‑documented requirements
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience collaborating across multidisciplinary environments and providing technical clarification to support effective decision‑making and prioritization
• Experience working in Agile development environments, collaborating with development teams on planning, backlog refinement, and delivery, while maintaining a structured approach to documentation and execution

Most importantly, we believe diverse experiences add value to our team and organization. Therefore, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all the above requirements.
