Summary: The main function of a systems engineer is to apply the principles of computer science and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that make computers work. A typical systems engineer analyzes user needs, and then designs, tests, and develops software to meet those needs.
Job Responsibilities:
- Direct programmers and analysts to make changes to existing software and systems.
- Direct others in coding logical and physical database descriptions. Review project requests describing user needs to estimate time and cost required to accomplish project. Review and approve development and determine project scope and limitations. Approve, schedule, plan and supervise the installation and testing of new products and improvements to computer systems. Implement security measures to safeguard information in computer files against accidental or unauthorized damage, modification, or disclosure. Develop standards and guidelines to guide the use and acquisition of software and to protect vulnerable information.
Typical task:
- Analyzing system and software requirements, and then creating test cases to cover the product requirement.
- Conducting a wide range of system testing, primarily lab based on HIL bench setups at the Mossville campus. Documenting issues discovered and working with software & system teams to ensure they are equipped with information to resolve the issues.Software and Model Development activities associated with development of new dSPACE HIL system setup.
