Systems Engineer Job Description

In addition to in-depth technical knowledge of the employer’s software and hardware, systems engineers need advanced analytical, troubleshooting and design skills. The ability to communicate with technical and nontechnical 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
