System engineer

At Tobii, we build technology that enables the next generation of human-machine interaction. Our eye tracking solutions are integrated into products used by some of the world's leading technology companies across XR and wearable devices.

We are now looking for a System Engineer / System Architect to help our customers and internal teams turn complex technical challenges into scalable and robust system solutions. You will collaborate closely with global technology leaders developing next generation XR headsets and wearable products, helping teams make sound technical decisions by creating clarity around interfaces, dependencies, and system behavior.

The Opportunity
In this role, you will help bring advanced eye tracking technology from concept to real world products used by millions of people.

You will become a key technical partner in complex customer collaborations, helping teams move from uncertainty to clear and actionable solutions. The work spans early product discussions, integration challenges, and technical decision making in projects where performance, usability, and scalability all matter. At times, this is also a consultative, customer-facing role, not purely internal system design.

The role offers a unique combination of deep technology, customer interaction, and cross functional collaboration in an environment where no two projects look the same. It also requires a strong system perspective across software, firmware, electronics, optronics, algorithms, and computer vision.

Your mission

• Support customers in understanding what is required for successful eye tracking integration
  
• Review and evaluate customer hardware designs (sensor/optical placement, thermal and mechanical integration, electrical interfaces)
  
• Issue technical recommendations and decisions that shape customer product architecture
  

• Drive system design and technical alignment across software, hardware, firmware, and algorithms
  

• Translate customer needs into clear requirements, interfaces, and architectural decisions
  

• Identify integration risks, technical dependencies, and system trade-offs early
  

• Coordinate across internal development teams and customer engineering organizations
  

• Participate hands-on when needed to troubleshoot prototypes, validate assumptions, or analyze system behavior
  

We hope you have

• Experience working with complex HW/SW product development and system integration
  

• Background in areas such as embedded software, Linux, electronics, firmware, algorithms, computer vision, sensors/optronics, mechatronics, or complex system integration
  

• Ability to reason about trade-offs between performance, cost, complexity, robustness, usability, and delivery speed.
  

• Comfortable reviewing logs, prototypes, specifications, architecture diagrams, and test results to understand system behavior
  

• Experience working cross-functionally in structured engineering environments
  

• Strong communication skills and ability to work with both technical teams and customers
  

Any experience from XR, wearable technology, eye tracking or related sensing technologies, and from working internationally is considered a strong plus.

Who are you?
You are a curious and pragmatic engineer who enjoys solving complex system challenges together with others. You create clarity in technical environments with many moving parts and build trust through collaboration, communication, and sound engineering judgement.

Location
This role is based in Stockholm, Sweden, with a 60/40 hybrid work policy.
