About the role

RADAR is building a hardware-enabled SaaS data infrastructure for physical retail, enabling end-to-end inventory awareness in stores. The Systems Engineer role focuses on end-to-end ownership of system-level inventory features, cross-functional leadership, and driving customer-ready releases.

Responsibilities

  • End-to-end Ownership: You will be the go-to expert for your assigned feature(s). You will work autonomously to influence feature definition, design and execution. Others will look to you for guidance and to understand how your feature works across subsystems and customer interfaces.
  • System Analysis: Analyze RFID tag read data from multiple environments including operating stores and internal test spaces to assess system performance using Python and SQL. You will test and document key performance metrics and synthesize findings from other team members. You will also dig into production data in BigQuery to monitor field performance for your feature across the fleet.
  • Requirements: Write detailed and testable requirements with well-defined acceptance criteria for testing to ensure the implemented feature meets both internal and customer expectations. Decompose requirements to subsystem levels to inform required component performance.
  • Validation: Collaborate with the System Test team to validate design and engineering changes against system and feature requirements. Validate performance of the subsystems and components in Radar’s integrated system including: custom RFID sensors, control software, mobile applications and cloud analytics.
  • Triage and Debug: If test failures or field bugs are discovered, triage each failure to clearly identify the problem and the potential root causes. Lead debug sessions with engineers to agree on root cause and solution.
  • Leadership: Drive alignment across Hardware and Software Engineering, System Test, Customer Experience, Product, and Design teams. Collaborate with leadership to influence system feature design and implementation.
  • Release Planning: Use engineering judgement to deliver the go/no-go decision for customer releases. Communicate the validation and quality plan with scope and timing to engineering and product leadership.

Qualifications

  • You have a B.S. in Engineering or any equivalent technical discipline
  • 5+ years of experience working on integrated hardware, firmware and software sensors or products
  • You have a unique ability to assess complex technical and organizational situations and bring clarity to the team
  • You have strong problem solving skills including proficiency with data analysis, for example with Python and SQL
  • You maintain an entrepreneurial spirit with a general attitude to "figure it out" when faced with a difficult or ambiguous problem. You can identify gaps, take initiative and drive the team to execute.
  • You have strong leadership skills - you can translate between engineering disciplines and align stakeholders with different technical backgrounds or opinions.
  • You enjoy diving into the details of a problem and also understanding high level context.
  • You have experience writing system requirements, test plans, or feature specs that guide cross-functional engineering team implementation
