How to become a systems engineer - A Practical Guide

If you want to know some interview questions for systems engineers, check out this video.
Are you starting a career as a systems engineer, solution consultant, sales engineer or a presales engineer? It is just one of those topics that nobody seem to have a good guide to success on. In my entire career, I have only found a couple of resources to guide a new engineer. So hopefully this video will get aspiring engineers to be successful.

As a SE as well, i totally agree with your advice here. Keep up the great job, Charles.

Thank you! Proud to be a systems engineering student

[bantenz]

Well said, totally agree with "it's more like a dark art"

[sekutard]

not sure why you have so little views, good format so far

the only thing i would add are some graphics? but that may prove to be time consuming

[juliusbeecham]

Thanks for your video and am looking forward to see more of them concerning SEs

[alvin]

Great advice making mistakes is the best way to learn things. Thank you it's a big help for me since I have a se job offer.

I’ve been an SE for a year now and I can’t seem to get a good grasp of requirement writing. Could you do a video on this topic please?

Hi Charles, you've scored a new subscriber today. Thanks for the useful tips and honest sharing of personal opinions. After watching this video, it seems like there are a lot of similarities between a SE role and a technical account manager role! Looking forward to watching more relevant content from your channel.

This is not how tradiitonal systems engineering is defined. For the real SE refer to the INCOSE guidelines.

[rezwanashraf]

Good stuff mate, do you have a linkedin or a fb page?

[MnMnMmNmMnmn]

Thank you for your video. I'm starting to get interested in SE from a software application standpoint. Do you have any recommendations for books to read? Intro to SE types?

Hi Charles, what is the position in which Engineers do write the project requirements and plan and it mostly about detailed requirements and designs? They know about technology but not specifically doing the software.
