Alongside the job content, company culture and of course salary/package, often the most important aspect of job searching for engineers I speak to is career progression.
One of the more popular areas I'm being asked about increasingly frequently is system engineering, which particularly seems to appeal to experienced engineers coming from an electronics or hardware design background.
Clearly it is a role which offers broad responsibilities, and a nice step towards senior level positions, but I've detailed a few of the reasons why a System Engineer position could be a good option for your next move, if you're thinking of a change.... thoughts?
Holistic perspective: Instead of focusing solely on the design and development of individual electronic components, system engineers consider the entire system, including its integration, performance, reliability, and interactions with other systems or subsystems. This broader perspective can be intellectually stimulating and rewarding for experienced engineers.
Inter-disciplinary collaboration: System engineering roles typically involve collaboration with professionals from various disciplines. This interdisciplinary approach allows electronics engineers to learn from experts in other fields, exchange ideas, and work together to solve complex engineering challenges.
Systems thinking: Experienced electronics engineers can apply their technical expertise to analyze system requirements, identify dependencies, anticipate potential issues, and optimize system performance and reliability.
New problem-solving: Electronics engineers enjoy the opportunity to apply their problem-solving skills and engineering knowledge to address complex systems-level challenges, such as optimizing system architecture, managing trade-offs, and mitigating risks.
End-to-end ownership: In many system engineering roles, engineers have end-to-end ownership of the entire product lifecycle, from concept development and requirements analysis to system integration, testing, and validation. This level of responsibility allows experienced electronics engineers to see their contributions make a tangible impact and take pride in delivering high-quality, reliable systems to customers.
Innovation: System engineering roles often involve exploring innovative technologies, architectures, and design approaches to meet evolving customer needs and market demands, allowing for contributions to the development of cutting-edge systems and solutions.
