About the role

As a System Engineer at 10x, you will be involved in all aspects of the product development process, from the initial ideation and requirements generation to prototyping to launch. System engineers develop instrument architectures, conceive and run system-level models, and design & implement custom hardware systems and associated metrology and testing approaches. You will work closely with hardware engineers including mechanical, electrical, optical and fluidic groups and collaborate cross-functionally with software, chemistry and computational biology teams.

Ideal candidates will be highly motivated, independent, systems thinkers who value creative and robust design, enjoy working at the seams of different engineering and science disciplines, and have strong data analysis and presentation skills. Strong technical proficiency in instrument hardware and/or software design should underpin a desire to develop holistic, multidisciplinary platform architectures. Previous experience with hardware development, system integration, and testing is essential.

What you will be doing:

• Develop, model, document, and refine platform and instrument architectures
• Support architecture implementation with subject matter experts and engineers in sub-system teams
• Develop models that allow for data-driven decisions on products, simulating tradeoffs between performance of instruments and consumables, and product COGS.
• Conceive and implement system-level tests for new instruments, and work with discrete design teams ensure that sub-system and component level testing is appropriate to verify new designs against performance and reliability requirements
• Engage with technical team members to identify and resolve key technical challenges
• Facilitate cross-functional interactions throughout the product development life cycle, including the management of relationships with internal and external stakeholders
• Collaborate with stakeholders and technical teams to develop end user workflows
• Conduct routine risk assessments (e.g., FMEAs) and work with leadership to define and execute risk mitigation plans
• Provide technical leadership throughout the product development process; run design reviews and lead technical efforts at project and platform levels

To be successful, you will need:

• Bachelors in an engineering discipline (Comp Sci, Mechanical, Electrical, etc); masters preferred
• 5+ years working with the design, integration, or testing of hardware systems or instruments
• Direct experience in a cross-functional role (e.g., systems engineer, project lead)
• Experience in system modeling for performance/cost tradeoffs, including prior experience with product cost modeling
• Proficiency in Python; comfort implementing moderate complexity in silico models and associated visualizations (e.g., in Jupyter notebooks)
• fluency with modern AI tools (chat platforms and software development tools)
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills
• Excellent visual & oral communication and presentation skills
• Ability to pick up new technologies quickly
• Self-motivated; able to work independently in a fast paced, dynamic environment

Nice to have skills & background:

• Experience with standards such as UL 61010-1, UL 60601-1, ISO 9001, ISO 13485
• Demonstrable understanding of design of experiment and statistical analysis of test dataExperience debugging and extending (e.g., through scripting) hardware control software, particularly in Linux environments
• Experience building organizational processes, templates, standards, etc.
