Full Job Description

Principal Systems Engineer / System Architect

Madison, WI | Full-Time | Onsite
Up to $190,000 + Annual Bonus

Define the technical architecture of a product platform that doesn't exist yet.

Kelly Engineering is partnering with an industry-leading medical device manufacturer to identify an experienced System Architect to lead the technical vision and end-to-end architecture of a next-generation product platform.

This is a rare opportunity to join at the beginning of a major product development initiative. As the first technical hire on a newly formed engineering team, you'll establish the system architecture, influence key technology decisions, and help shape the engineering organization that brings the platform to market.

If you're energized by solving complex engineering challenges, integrating multiple engineering disciplines, and bringing innovative products from concept through production, we'd love to speak with you.

Position Highlights

Compensation up to $190,000 + Annual Bonus
Madison, Wisconsin
Full-Time Onsite Position
Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates
No current or future visa sponsorship available
Rare opportunity to architect an entirely new product platform from the ground up

What You'll Do

Define the end-to-end architecture for a complex multidisciplinary product platform.
Establish system requirements, subsystem definitions, interfaces, and integration strategies.
Drive collaboration across electrical, mechanical, optical, embedded, and software engineering teams.
Lead architecture trade-off decisions balancing performance, manufacturability, reliability, scalability, usability, and cost.
Translate customer and business needs into scalable technical solutions.
Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend system-level architecture decisions.
Identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the product development lifecycle.
Participate in rapid prototyping, system integration, validation, and technical problem solving.
Collaborate with Product Management, Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, and Engineering teams from concept through production.
Provide technical leadership through influence, collaboration, and engineering expertise.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering discipline.
15+ years designing and developing complex physical products.
5+ years leading system architecture, subsystem definition, and product integration.
Proven success bringing products from concept through production.
Strong experience integrating hardware and software within complex electromechanical systems.
Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership skills.
Ability to travel approximately 10–15% as needed.

You'll play a foundational role in defining the technical architecture of a new product platform while influencing future engineering decisions, technology selection, and long-term product strategy. If you're looking for an opportunity where your technical expertise will have a lasting impact, we'd love to connect.
