Augminter تعلن عن وظيفة مهندس أنظمة أول - Smart City & Video Surveillance في الرياض

Location: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (relocation supported)

Type: Full-time, permanent

Positions: 1

Experience: 15+ years

Reports to: Programme technical leadership

Language: English

The programme

A national-scale programme in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is establishing sovereign

capability in urban intelligence: the design and deployment of city-wide video surveillance

and smart mobility infrastructure, and the establishment of indigenous engineering and

manufacturing capability for the hardware that underpins it.

The programme spans systems architecture, product engineering, local manufacturing, and

commercialisation into regional and international markets. It is being built from the

ground up. The people joining now will define its technical and commercial foundations

rather than inherit them.

The role

You will own the systems engineering discipline for a surveillance and mobility estate

being designed from a blank sheet - the architecture, the standards it is held to, and the

verification regime that proves it works.

This is not a role that maintains someone else's baseline. There is no incumbent

architecture to defend, no accumulated compromise to work around, and no established

integration pattern you are obliged to inherit. You will decide how requirements are

captured and traced, how the architecture is decomposed across cameras, networks, analytics

and storage, how multi-vendor subsystems are held to interoperability, and what evidence

constitutes verification and validation at city scale. Those decisions will govern

deployments measured in tens of thousands of endpoints.

The work is genuinely cross-disciplinary. In a single week you may be arbitrating a sensor

selection against low-light performance requirements, resolving a bandwidth model that

storage architecture cannot sustain, setting the cybersecurity baseline for connected edge

devices, and explaining a lifecycle cost position to an executive sponsor. It suits an

engineer who has operated at the intersection of hardware, network and software and is

comfortable being the person the disagreement escalates to.

You will also be building the discipline itself - the processes, the templates, the review

gates and, over time, the local engineering team that inherits them. Candidates who have

established systems engineering practice in an organisation that previously lacked it will

recognise the shape of this work.

## What you will do

- Define, decompose and manage requirements across the programme, and maintain traceability

  from stakeholder need through to verification evidence

- Develop and own the system architecture spanning cameras and sensors, networking,

  video management, analytics, edge compute and storage

- Lead systems integration across multiple vendors, holding interoperability to industry

  standards and defined communication protocols

- Establish and execute the verification and validation regime, including test strategy,

  acceptance criteria and evidence management

- Conduct technology evaluations, system performance assessments and technical due diligence

  on products, vendors and partners

- Set the cybersecurity baseline for connected and edge-deployed systems, working with

  security and network stakeholders

- Own lifecycle planning - obsolescence, refresh strategy, scalability and total cost of

  ownership

- Establish systems engineering process, standards and review gates for the programme, and

  build the local engineering capability that sustains them

- Advise executive stakeholders on technical strategy, risk and trade-off decisions

Required expertise

- Demonstrated expertise in systems engineering principles, including requirements

  definition, architecture development, systems integration, verification and validation

- Strong technical knowledge of CCTV and video surveillance systems, including IP cameras,

  video management systems (VMS), video analytics and storage solutions

- Solid understanding of semiconductor technologies, electronic components, sensors,

  embedded systems and hardware platforms supporting security and monitoring solutions

- Knowledge of networking and communications technologies, including TCP/IP, fibre optics,

  wireless communications, industrial networks, and cybersecurity principles for connected

  systems

- Familiarity with IoT devices, smart sensors, edge computing and AI-enabled surveillance

  technologies

- Experience integrating multi-vendor systems and ensuring interoperability through industry

  standards and communication protocols

- Understanding of applicable international standards and best practices for systems

  engineering, physical security and critical infrastructure

- Ability to perform technology evaluations, system performance assessments, lifecycle

  planning and technical due diligence

- 15+ years of experience in the field

- Substantial delivery experience in North American or Western European technology

  environments, with demonstrable fluency in the engineering standards, regulatory regimes

  and quality practices of those markets

Advantageous

- Experience in the Smart City and Smart Mobility domains

- INCOSE certification (CSEP or ESEP) or equivalent formal systems engineering credential

- Experience establishing a systems engineering function where none previously existed

- Exposure to critical national infrastructure or public safety programmes

- Standards familiarity: ISO/IEC 15288, ONVIF, IEC 62443
