Senior Electronics Systems Engineer (Embedded Controls)

Rheem Manufacturing Company; Atlanta (GA); Hybrid; USD 105,000 - 145,000; Full time

Job summary

Rheem Manufacturing Company is seeking a Systems Engineer III (Electronics) to extend system practices into product-level controller design. You will partner with PM, hardware, firmware, test, manufacturing, and service teams to deliver features with traceability and verification evidence.

The role supports Rheem North America from Roswell, GA or Montgomery, AL in a hybrid work model, with in-office days Monday-Thursday and remote Fridays.

Qualifications

• Requires a bachelor’s or foreign equivalent degree in Engineering (Electrical, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field).
• Requires 5+ years of progressive experience developing products or testing embedded microprocessor-based controls.
• Experience reading and implementing technical procedures and government regulations, as well as interpreting schematic, electrical, and mechanical diagrams.
• Applying functional safety standards and/or agency certification requirements (e.g., UL, IEC, CE or other regulatory bodies) within a product development context.
• Proven ability to “drive” systems engineering deliverables (e.g., requirements baselining, reviews, traceability closure, verification reporting) across a project as an individual contributor in collaboration with a project manager.

Responsibilities

• Translate product needs into clear, testable controller system requirements and maintain them through the product lifecycle.
• Define controller system architecture at the functional-block level (inputs, outputs, interfaces, modes) and maintain interface control documents (ICDs).
• Support and partner with project management for electronic control system development and verification activities, ensuring projects are executed efficiently and effectively.
• Plan and drive system work product reviews, track and close action items, and own on-time release of system engineering documentation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to continuously improve system work products, processes, and quality criteria.
• Engage with software, hardware, test, and product development teams throughout the product life cycle, ensuring seamless integration of system engineering work products.
• Utilize systems engineering tools to create and maintain a requirements traceability matrix that maps controller requirements to associated verification activities and results; participate in and sometimes lead system-level verification activities.
• Participate in product design reviews to ensure products meet hardware and software feature requirements from a systems perspective.
• Coordinate with manufacturing engineering and suppliers to define manufacturing test requirements and review control documentation (not hands‑on fixture design).
• Support customer service and training teams with system-level documentation, configuration guidance, and issue triage to drive customer satisfaction.
• Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory and functional safety standards by contributing to requirements, verification evidence, and documentation prepared for agency reviews (e.g., UL, IEC, CE).
