ABOUT THE ROLE

At Bright Machines, we are transforming the future of manufacturing with intelligent, software-driven automation. Our applications help designers create products that are optimized for automated assembly, making factories more efficient and effective.

We are seeking an experienced System Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for the design, development, and deployment of advanced robotic automation systems. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical & electrical engineers, software developers, and project managers, to deliver cutting-edge automation solutions to our clients.

This role requires a strong systems engineering mindset, including requirements definition, risk analysis (PFMEA), and system-level verification and validation (V&V), along with the ability to leverage software tools such as Python to support system integration and analysis.

Collaborate with project teams to define system requirements and specifications.

Integrate BM various hardware and software components into cohesive and functional systems.

Create PFMEA, process flow and value stream maps (where required) and work with the design team to resolve all failure mode points within the design

Develop and execute test plans to ensure system functionality and reliability.

Ensure through each phase gate that all design metrics are being challenged and met

Leverage system data and software tools to identify opportunities for process optimization and system performance improvements.

Clearly define solution requirements and own the system-level success of the overall automation solution and its subsystems, and drive it to success through the entire project lifecycle in partnership with program management and engineering
