As our installed base grows, we are strengthening our engineering team to improve our products, support manufacturing and contribute to future development. About the role As a Systems Engineer, you will work at the intersection of mechanical engineering, electronics and software to help deliver reliable, manufacturable and well-documented equipment. Your initial focus will be on system verification, technical documentation, troubleshooting and improvements to our existing products. You will translate requirements into technical specifications, integrate and test modules, and follow engineering changes through to implementation. Reporting to the System Architect, you will take ownership of assigned engineering activities and coordinate technical work packages across disciplines. You will work closely with Development, Quality & Regulatory, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Customer Service and external engineering and manufacturing partners. This role combines analytical work with practical testing and troubleshooting. It also offers the opportunity to help strengthen engineering processes as Xyall grows. Responsibilities System engineering and product improvement Translate customer, product and regulatory requirements into clear technical specifications and verification criteria. Develop and evaluate technical solutions together with engineers from mechanical, electrical and software disciplines. Support the System Architect in system design, integration and technical trade-offs. Investigate technical issues, identify root causes and implement and verify solutions. Improve product performance, reliability, usability, manufacturability and serviceability, considering cost and development time. Verification and technical documentation Plan, execute and document system-level verification, including test plans, protocols and reports. Maintain traceability between requirements, design specifications and verification results. Support product validation activities in collaboration with relevant colleagues. Maintain design records, specifications, engineering risk documentation and change records. Prepare technical input for design reviews, change assessments and product releases within Xyall’s quality management system. Integration and manufacturing support Integrate and test mechanical, electrical and software modules as complete systems. Resolve integration and production issues with internal teams and external partners. Support the transfer of designs and engineering changes into stable, repeatable manufacturing processes. Contribute to production tests, manufacturing instructions and troubleshooting guidance. Provide engineering support for installation, service and field issue investigations when needed. Coordination and continuous improvement Coordinate assigned technical work packages and follow up on actions, deliverables and deadlines. Identify and communicate technical risks, dependencies and bottlenecks early. Guide technicians and colleagues carrying out engineering tests and related activities. Improve engineering methods, work instructions and knowledge sharing. Requirements A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Systems Engineering or a comparable technical discipline. Around 3–5 years of relevant experience in multidisciplinary product development, systems engineering, equipment engineering or industrial automation. Practical experience integrating and troubleshooting systems that combine mechanical, electrical and software components. Experience translating requirements into technical specifications and developing, executing and documenting engineering tests. Experience collaborating with engineers from different disciplines and external suppliers. Good written and spoken English. You work in a structured way, pay attention to technical details and documentation, and take ownership of your activities through to completion. You enjoy practical problem-solving and know when an issue needs deeper investigation or input from others. You communicate clearly and can adapt when priorities change. Would be an advantage Development of complex electromechanical equipment or laboratory automation systems. Work in a medical device environment, including ISO 13485, design controls or regulated technical documentation. Engineering risk management and requirements management tools. CAD, product lifecycle management or engineering change management systems. Manufacturing processes, production testing or industrialization with external suppliers. Product improvements and issue resolution for equipment already in use by customers.

Core Responsibilities
