Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles.
Systems engineers develop and oversee all aspects of a complex system to solve a problem, from the initial creation of the system to production and management through the end product or solution.
Systems may include products, people, services, information, natural elements, or processes—or a mix of several depending on the job. As a systems engineer, you are in charge of troubleshooting and communicating with all parties involved in implementing and using the system.
You’ll find systems engineers working in almost every major industry, from health care to transportation and manufacturing to software. It’s a career that allows you to problem solve, explore solutions, and build systems that address a problem or achieve a goal.
