System Engineer — Electrical Integration & Solar Tracking Systems

pstrongThe Role /strong /ppVoltiris is looking for an analytically driven System Engineer to challenge and rebuild the assumptions behind our electrical integration and solar tracking systems. This is not a maintenance role, it's a mandate to question why current cabling, network, and tracking architectures exist in their current form, build the data and evidence to prove a better model, and drive that model into industrialized reality. /ppYou'll treat every recurring field issue as a hypothesis to test, and drive to closing through collaboration. Your success is measured by how much complexity, failure rate, and installation time you can strip out of the system, backed by data, not opinion. /ppstrongWhat We're Offering /strong /pullipA mandate to redesign, not just document, real authority to challenge existing cabling, network, and tracking architecture decisions /p /lilipDirect ownership of the data and firmware layer behind tracking accuracy, predictive maintenance, and system health (a genuinely analytical, high-leverage technical domain) /p /lilipAutonomy: you set the hypotheses, define the validation methods, and decide what evidence is strong enough to act on /p /lilipA role at the intersection of hard engineering and strategic systems thinking, with a purely hands-on installation job /p /lilipDirect interface with external electronics, firmware, and motor suppliers, where your technical arguments will need to carry weight /p /li /ulpstrongHard Skills We Need /strong /ppemData Firmware Intelligence (core of the role) /em /pullipStrong background in firmware development or embedded systems, ideally applied to motion control, tracking, or precision positioning /p /lilipAbility to design and run validation methodologies for tracking precision, repeatability, and long-term fault behavior, hypothesis in, evidence out /p /lilipExperience building data-driven monitoring/analytics tools (anomaly detection, predictive maintenance models, system health dashboards) /p /lilipComfort working with quantitative performance data to challenge existing supplier specs or in-house assumptions /p /li /ulpemSystems Architecture /em /pullipAbility to model and simplify electrical/communication architectures, Ethernet networks, low-voltage control cabling, communication interfaces, to reduce systemic complexity /p /lilipSkilled at defining interface specifications and system-level standards that others (electricians, installers, suppliers) execute against /p /lilipExperience turning field-observed failure patterns into engineering-grade specifications (BOMs, test plans, qualification reports) /p /li /ulpemEvidence-Based Field Engagement /em /pullipWillingness to go on-site and travel, to gather the evidence base for architectural decisions /p /lilipAbility to synthesize scattered field observations into a structured case for change, and to present that case persuasively to internal teams and external suppliers /p /lilipTrack record of driving suppliers (motor, electronics, firmware) toward measurable spec improvements through data-backed argument /p /li /ulpemCertification Rigor /em /pullipExperience contributing to certification processes for electromechanical or tracking systems — structured, evidence-based documentation is a strength /p /li /ulpstrongWhat success looks like after 12 months /strong /pullipCabling, network, and tracking architecture redesigned and validated with data /p /lilipFailure rate, complexity, and installation time measurably reduced across deployed systems /p /lilipMonitoring and predictive maintenance tools in production, catching issues before they escalate /p /lilipYou are the first call when a recurring field issue needs to be understood, not just patched /p /li /ulpstrongOur offer /strong /pullipFounding technical mandate, real authority over architecture decisions, not a maintenance seat /p /lilipDirect access to founders and Operating Committee from day one /p /lilipEquity; if Voltiris wins, you win with it /p /lilipA front-row seat to one of Switzerland's most promising cleantech companies /p /lilipLocation: Lausanne, with possibility of hybrid working and regular on-site travel /p /li /ulpemIf you have taken a system apart, proven a better version with data, and pushed it into industrialized reality, that is exactly what we want to hear about. /em /p Please click on the application link to apply for this position.
