Systems Engineer

About Precision AI

Precision AI is on a mission to transform agriculture with cutting‑edge drone technology. Our aerial spraying systems help farmers target weeds with surgical precision, reducing chemical use and increasing yields. We’re a fast‑moving, impact‑driven team looking for people who want to help build the future of farming.

Role Overview

The ideal Systems Engineer at Precision AI is someone who can see the full system, understand how disciplines interact, and ensure complex UAV platforms come together reliably. You’ll work in a multidisciplinary environment alongside mechanical, electrical, controls, embedded, optics / vision, and AI engineers, owning system‑level thinking from concept through flight testing.

If you enjoy bridging hardware, software, and operational realities—translating high‑level goals into clear requirements, interfaces, and validation plans—this role will feel like home. You bring strong technical breadth, structured thinking, and the ability to anticipate integration risks before they become field failures.

You’ll spend your days defining system architectures, managing interfaces between subsystems, and supporting integration and test activities. Some days you’ll be driving requirements, diagrams, and trade studies; other days you’ll be in the lab or field helping debug cross‑disciplinary issues and aligning teams around system‑level decisions.

At Precision AI, we move fast and build things that matter. If you thrive in ambiguity, enjoy enabling other engineers to move faster, and want to own the technical glue that holds an autonomous aerial system together, we’d love to meet you.

This role is hybrid in Calgary due to the hands‑on nature of system integration, testing, and UAV flight verification and validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and maintain system‑level architectures for UAV and ground platforms, including hardware, software, and operational components.
• Translate product and mission goals into clear, testable system requirements and constraints.
• Own system‑level documentation including block diagrams, interface definitions, and data flows.
• Organize power budgets, communication budgets, weight and CG, controls margin, and additional engineering budgets that need to be held by the systems engineering team.
• Perform hazards analysis and FMEA with UI output.
• Drive trade studies to balance performance, reliability, cost, and schedule at the system level.
• Coordinate manuals for equipment, LRUs, Operations, and Maintenance for multiple vehicles.

Not Sure You Meet Every Requirement?

Research shows that some candidates, especially women, underrepresented groups, and career changers, are less likely to apply for a role unless they meet 100% of the listed qualifications. At Precision AI, we believe the right person can grow into the role, and we value potential as much as experience. If you’re excited about our mission and think you could contribute, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check every single box.

Equal Employment Opportunity
