Job Description

IDS GeoRadar, part of Hexagon Group, provides products and solutions, based on radar technology that secures people safety in dangerous environments and prevents risk hazards in mining, civil engineering, and monitoring applications. Our pioneering spirit and continuous commitment to research & development has enabled us to be at the forefront of the radar technologies applications across the globe.

The company is a leading provider of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Monitoring Radar solutions worldwide.

For our Pisa based office we are looking for a System Engineer who will join the System Design team, an inclusive and brilliant group of engineers and physicists within the R&D department. The team plays a central role within the organization, leading the development process and conceiving the architecture of new systems. The overall goal is to reconcile application inputs with elements of innovation, bringing cutting-edge and successful products to market without neglecting reliability and mass production aspects.

As a System Engineer, the new resource will work closely with specialists (electronic and mechanical engineers, SW/FW developers) from other R&D teams and external partners, always maintaining an overarching product vision and overseeing the entire lifecycle. The role involves system design from initial conception to supporting the first installations, including system architecture definition, prototyping, validation, and production. Specifically, the resource will personally contribute to defining the specifications of various modules (HW/FW/SW) that make up the system and will be responsible for ensuring compliance with agreed-upon functional and performance requirements once the modules have been developed, individually tested by specialists, and finally integrated. In addition, there are also experimental activities planned, involving planning and managing measurement campaigns with prototypes or systems that are in development or already on the market.

The resource will be supported by a Senior System Engineer who will act as a mentor, promoting professional growth and providing the necessary knowledge and tools to tackle technical challenges within development projects with competence and effectiveness.

What we want you to do:

User requirement analysis
System architecture definition
Definition of technical development specifications
Creation of mathematical models and algorithms for simulations aimed at system analysis
Integration testing (definition and execution of procedures)
System performance testing (definition and execution of procedures)
Data processing
Development of data analysis software tools with the goal of improving/automating production processes, system analysis, support for validation, and identification of potential product non-conformities
