Staff Systems Engineer - Electrical Calibration

Fluke Calibration is seeking an experienced Staff Systems Engineer to provide system-level technical leadership for Electrical Calibration (ECAL) products based at Fluke Park, Everett, sustaining industry-leading calibrators while defining architectures for next-generation platforms. 

You will own end-to-end system behavior across hardware, firmware, software, manufacturing, and service, serving as technical authority for architectural decisions, risk management, and long-term product integrity across multi-decade lifecycles. 

This role requires strong technical judgment and cross-functional influence to balance metrology performance with manufacturability, supply-chain longevity, and serviceability in partnership with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Service. 

Key Responsibilities 

System Architecture & Technical Leadership  

• Own and evolve system architectures for sustaining and next-generation ECAL platforms. 

• Serve as technical authority for tradeoffs (accuracy, stability, control, thermals, cost, risk, and supportability). 

• Guide architecture across Electrical, Firmware, Software, Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Service. 

Requirements & System Definition 

• Define, document, and manage system requirements that translate customer, regulatory, and metrology needs into executable designs. 

• Ensure requirements traceability from concept through verification, production, and sustaining. 

• Lead system‑level design reviews and provide technical direction on complex or ambiguous problems. 

Sustaining Engineering & Lifecycle Stewardship 

• Provide senior technical leadership for sustaining programs, including component EOL mitigation, factory transfers, performance improvements, and field issue resolution. 

• Ensure system integrity and calibration performance are preserved across design changes and manufacturing updates. 

• Act as a key knowledge steward for long‑lived platforms, supporting onboarding and technical continuity

Quality, Manufacturability & Verification 

• Ensure system designs are robust, manufacturable, and verifiable, supporting low‑volume / high‑mix production environments. 

• Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, and Service teams to define test strategies, calibration flows, and service models. 

• Support verification and validation activities to ensure products meet Fluke standards for accuracy, safety, and reliability. 

Cross‑Functional Influence 

• Collaborate closely with Product Management to align technical decisions with business and customer priorities. 

• Influence without authority across multiple teams and sites, including global development and manufacturing partners. 

• Communicate complex system concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders. 

Qualifications 

• Bachelor or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical field. 

• Extensive experience in system‑level design and technical leadership for complex electronic products. 

• Strong foundation in precision analog and digital electronics, control systems, and calibration or measurement systems. 

• Proven ability to lead technical direction across disciplines without direct managerial authority. 

• Experience working with microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, and laboratory instrumentation (DMMs, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, calibrators). 

• Strong technical documentation, review, and communication skills. 

Desired 

• Experience designing and sustaining test, measurement, or calibration products with long service lifetimes. 

• Familiarity with global compliance and safety standards (e.g., CE, FCC, RoHS, IEC 61010). 

• Experience supporting manufacturing scale‑up, factory transitions, or long‑term supply chain strategies. 

• Demonstrated history of solving ambiguous, system‑level technical problems with durable solutions.
