Shape system architecture and technical decisions at Cambridge Design Partnership while leading multidisciplinary electromechanical product teams.

This Senior Systems Engineer role combines technical leadership with practical product ownership across client development projects. You will translate stakeholder needs into testable requirements, define functional architectures, manage interfaces, and guide decisions involving performance, safety, reliability, cost, and risk. Electrical or mechatronics experience is particularly relevant.

Key Responsibilities:

• Turn stakeholder needs into traceable, testable requirements
• Develop functional architectures and subsystem responsibilities
• Define hardware, software, controls, and mechanical interfaces
• Assess technical options, risks, and performance trade-offs
• Explain recommendations to clients and project teams

Requirements:

• At least 10 years’ regulated product design experience
• Technical strength in electrical, mechanical, or mechatronics engineering
• Experience defining architectures and managing engineering interfaces
• Knowledge of sensors, actuators, embedded controls, power, and communications
• Ability to balance performance, usability, cost, risk, and timescales

Bring architecture leadership, systems thinking, and cross-disciplinary engineering judgment to Cambridge Design Partnership’s client projects.
