Inductosense

Role Overview 


As a System Engineer within our Systems Integration Team, you will play a key role in ensuring our sensing technology can be seamlessly integrated into diverse customer ecosystems. You will act as the technical bridge between our internal teams (software, hardware, firmware) and external customer systems, with a specific focus on software-level integration—understanding APIs, data flow, interoperability, and connectivity with third-party platforms. 


We are looking for a candidate with a background in software engineering, electrical engineering, or systems integration who can take ownership of defining integration architecture, building proof-of-concepts, and guiding deployment in complex customer environments. The ideal candidate will thrive in multi-disciplinary projects, communicate clearly with non-software stakeholders, and help deliver reliable, scalable integration solutions that bring our sensing technology into real-world use. 


Key Responsibilities 


System Integration & Software Architecture 



  • Define, document, and manage integration requirements between Inductosense systems and customer infrastructure. 

  • Design and implement integration architectures that support seamless software communication across disparate platforms. 

  • Develop and maintain APIs, middleware connectors, and data exchange protocols. 

  • Evaluate customer systems and propose tailored integration solutions. 


Requirements Engineering & Technical Guidance 



  • Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to gather and define software integration requirements. 

  • Translate business and technical needs into structured, testable specs. 

  • Work closely with firmware and backend teams to ensure system-wide compatibility. 

  • Provide guidance on software architecture trade-offs for integration challenges. 


Implementation, Validation & Support 



  • Build proof-of-concept integration layers and validate them with stakeholders. 

  • Troubleshoot and resolve software integration issues in lab and field environments. 

  • Define and execute integration test plans with automation where applicable. 

  • Support customer deployment and maintenance of integration solutions 


Project Execution & Stakeholder Management 



  • Coordinate software integration tasks across teams and projects. 

  • Help prioritize features and bug fixes related to integration workstreams. 

  • Ensure project milestones around integration deliverables are met. 


Documentation & Knowledge Sharing 



  • Maintain integration documentation for internal teams and external partners. 

  • Develop technical guides and onboarding materials for customer system integration. 

  • Contribute to internal best practices on software integration patterns. 


Key Skills & Competencies 


Software Integration Expertise 



  • Proven experience integrating systems via REST APIs, webhooks, or SDKs. 

  • Strong knowledge of one or more languages: Python, Java, C#, or Node.js. 

  • Familiarity with tools like Postman, Swagger/OpenAPI, MQTT, JSON, and XML data formats. 

  • Experience working with middleware platforms, messaging brokers, or integration layers (e.g., Azure IoT Hub, AWS IoT Core, or custom brokers). 


Systems Thinking & Engineering Capability 



  • Ability to understand how software, firmware, and hardware interact in real-world systems. 

  • Experience with cross-functional product development and understanding customer needs. 

  • Knowledge of validation, test strategies, and deployment pipelines in software contexts. 


Communication & Team Collaboration 



  • Comfortable working across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams. 

  • Strong technical writing skills and ability to convey complex concepts clearly. 

  • Capable of leading integration discussions with technical and non-technical audiences. 


Expectations 



  • Lead customer integration efforts, from requirement gathering through deployment. 

  • Architect robust, scalable, and maintainable software integration solutions. 

  • Remain hands-on in development and troubleshooting when needed. 

  • Stay engaged across the full integration lifecycle: design, test, deploy, support. 

  • Proactively share knowledge and improve internal integration practices. 


Requirements 



  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, electrical/electronics engineering, systems integration, or a related technical discipline 

  • Demonstrated experience designing and implementing integration solutions between disparate systems 

  • Strong technical skills in either: 

  • Software development with at least one language commonly used for integration (Python, Java, C#, etc.) 

  • Electrical/electronics design with experience in communication protocols and interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, etc.) 

  • Experience with hardware-software interfaces, API design, communication protocols, and integration methodologies 

  • Knowledge of integration testing methodologies and verification frameworks 

  • Background in systems thinking and multi-disciplinary product development 

  • Experience working with cross-functional teams on integration projects 

  • Familiarity with requirements management and integration testing tools 

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field
