Resumo da oferta

Nudena L.L.C. in Detroit seeks a systems architect to translate product goals into a robust hardware-software integration plan. This role defines subsystem interfaces, power needs, states, and failure modes, reviewing CAD/BOMs and ensuring coherent cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The successful candidate will lead design reviews across design, engineering, fabrication, and manufacturing, deciding prototype scope and overseeing risk, tests, and integration readiness.

Qualificações

• 7+ years in electromechanical, mechatronics, robotics, or related fields.
• Led a product or system with multiple interacting subsystems.
• Strong judgment on requirements, interfaces, risk, and testing.

Responsabilidades

• Translate product goals into a verifiable system architecture.
• Define subsystem boundaries, interfaces, power needs, operating states, and failure behavior.
• Review CAD, BOMs, electrical concepts, controls, and software assumptions for gaps.
• Lead technical reviews across design, engineering, fabrication, and manufacturing.
• Decide what a prototype has to do for real and what can be simulated.
• Produce system diagrams, risk registers, test plans, and integration sequences.
• Support technical intake, prototype troubleshooting, design reviews, and production readiness decisions.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

You own how an ambitious physical product holds together technically. You set the architecture, resolve the hard questions with designers and engineers, and leave a decision trail the rest of the team can build on.

What you'll do

• Translate product goals into a system architecture and verifiable technical requirements
• Define subsystem boundaries, interfaces, power needs, operating states, and failure behavior
• Review existing CAD, bills of materials (BOMs), electrical concepts, controls, and software assumptions for gaps and conflicts
• Lead technical reviews across design, engineering, software, fabrication, and manufacturing
• Decide what a prototype has to do for real and what can be simulated
• Produce system diagrams, risk registers, test plans, and integration sequences
• Support technical intake, prototype troubleshooting, design reviews, and production readiness decisions

What you bring

• Seven or more years in electromechanical, mechatronics, robotics, interactive hardware, equipment, or systems integration work
• Evidence of leading a product or system with several interacting physical and digital subsystems
• Strong judgment on requirements, interfaces, risk, testing, and failure states
• Clear communication with designers, engineers, fabricators, and suppliers
• Comfort working from incomplete information and naming the next decision to make

Preferred experience

Relevant but not required.

• Connected consumer products, interactive experiences, robotics, medical equipment, appliances, or industrial automation
• Controls, embedded systems, Unreal or Unity integrations, or networked devices
• design failure mode and effects analysis (DFMEA), hazard analysis, regulated-product development, or nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL) preparation
