Systems Engineer Job Description

Systems engineers in Canada need advanced analytical, troubleshooting and design skills as well as in-depth technical knowledge of the company’s software and hardware. The ability to communicate with technical and non-technical users also is essential. Employers may require extensive knowledge of the development process, including specific documentation and quality assurance. Because of the broad range of demands that systems engineers must meet, candidates who have demonstrated strong project planning skills often have an advantage.

Developing, maintaining, and supporting technical infrastructure, hardware, and system software components.

Performing installation, maintenance, and support of system software/hardware and user support.
