Role Overview

Reporting to the Systems Engineering Manager, the Systems Engineer will be responsible for receiving the SRT reference architecture patterns and project specific low-level designs from the architecture team and implementing them in-field for customer deployments.  This will involve distilling the LLDS down into project specific implementation drawings and work instructions for other engineers but also creating as-is design documents for site configuration.

The role will encompass the lower-level hardware designs in support of rollout, for example, installation design drawings per site/site type (rack layouts, room layouts, power and comms schematics etc) and low-level configuration designs regarding the infrastructure.

The successful candidate will become the go to person for technical leadership on infrastructure implementation within the Delivery team. You will act as a technical lead for all design and implementation projects, providing guidance to Field Project Engineers and feedback to Systems Engineers that will be used to continuously improve design patterns and frameworks.
