Job summary

Marmon Foodservice Technologies, Inc. is seeking an Electronics Systems Architect to translate customer needs into system-level requirements for electronic control systems used in commercial restaurant equipment.

You will define architectures that integrate hardware, firmware, software, and electromechanical components for scalable, modular solutions. The role requires strong systems thinking, clear communication across technical and non-technical partners, and collaboration with hardware,

Qualifications

• Experience with systems engineering methodologies, including the V-model, requirements decomposition, and system validation.
• Strong understanding of electronics systems architecture, including integration of hardware, firmware, software, and electromechanical components.
• Practical knowledge of requirements management tools and processes (e.g., DOORS, Jama, Polarion, or equivalent).
• Experience establishing and maintaining requirements traceability matrices and ensuring linkage from system requirements to verification.
• Familiarity with control systems and control algorithm development (e.g., closed-loop control, PID concepts, state-based control logic).
• Understanding of embedded systems and how firmware/software interacts with hardware platforms.
• Experience defining interfaces and communication between subsystems (e.g., I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet, or similar).
• Exposure to user interface and human-machine interface (HMI) concepts, especially for appliance or equipment controls.
• Knowledge of verification and validation strategies, including test case definition and requirement verification.
• Experience working in cross-functional product development environments, ideally within appliances, industrial equipment, or similar domains.
• Strong documentation and communication skills, with the ability to create clear, concise technical specifications.
• Familiarity with Agile or hybrid development environments and modern product lifecycle tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence).

Responsibilities

• Translate VOC, user needs, and product concepts into clear, structured system-level technical requirements and specifications for electronic control systems.
• Define and maintain system architectures for control systems, including hardware, firmware, software, and electromechanical interfaces, with an emphasis on modularity and scalability.
• Lead the requirements lifecycle including: Requirements elicitation and decomposition, Documentation and validation, Traceability across subsystems (hardware, firmware, software).
• Partner closely with hardware, firmware, software, and mechanical engineering teams to ensure requirements are understood and implemented effectively.
• Develop and manage system-level specifications, interface definitions, and control strategies used to build commercial restaurant equipment and appliances.
• Ensure alignment with the V-model development process, including defining verification and validation strategies early in development.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to define and refine system behaviors, control algorithms, and user interface requirements.
• Drive clarity across cross-functional teams by breaking down complex technical topics into understandable concepts for non-technical partners.
• Support test planning and verification activities, ensuring requirements are testable and validated against customer needs.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of systems engineering practices, tools, and methodologies.
