Systems Engineer

Role Overview:

The Systems Engineer will play a critical role in supporting high-energy laser (HEL) programs, with a focus on system assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and deployment in real-world environments. This position requires a hands-on, highly organized self-starter with expertise in system interconnects, fluid systems, and high-power electrical assemblies. The selected candidate will collaborate closely with engineering teams, field operators, and end users to ensure seamless integration and operation of IPG's laser systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide technical leadership in program execution, focusing on field deployments, prototype development, and assembly.
• Lead system integration efforts, ensuring seamless connectivity of electrical, mechanical, and fluid components.
• Assemble, test, and troubleshoot low-power data harnesses, high-power electrical wiring, and system interconnects.
• Develop and validate fluid systems, including AN hoses and compression fittings, with experience in closed-loop systems preferred.
• Support deployment of high-energy laser systems in testing environments, including government ranges.
• Assist in system maintenance and operation, ensuring reliability and performance in field applications.
• Capture and document system requirements, particularly in interconnects, electrical, and fluid subsystems.
• Represent IPG's high-energy laser products to end users, providing technical expertise and support as needed.
• Maintain rigorous documentation and testing protocols to support system validation and troubleshooting.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with high-energy laser products and defense-related programs.
• Familiarity with government testing environments and field deployment logistics.
• Strong background in systems engineering principles, including integration, validation, and troubleshooting.
