Comment se démarquer lors d’un entretien téléphonique avec l’ingénierie système ?

Hiring managers are looking for Systems Engineers to showcase how their knowledge base can help them progress forward, by explaining how your background and subject knowledge is relevent and can help elevate the current team you are ticking all the right boxes

Do your homework. Make sure you study how your profile (CV) maps on the job description the job description. Prepare answers supporting the overlaps, with quantifiable results. Make sure you identify the gaps and prepare answers you possible questions or concerns. AND don't underestimate your homework about the hiring company. Make sure you know, at high level: - their history - the industry thy are operating in, and the context - their products - find reasons to get enthusiastic to work for them and show those off during the interview

This is again coming down to doing your homework. For every skill or capability required that maps onto your CV prepare structured answers. Use the STAR method. Your answers MUST be result oriented, showing how you solved a specific problem and quantifying the result you achieved. Don't use generics like "I did Requirements Engineering". Say instead "The project was at risk of failing an audit. I used well established RE techniques to structure the requirements deck, ensure traceability and requirements verification and deploy requirements configuration management. We managed to get the project to be scored max on RE area." Prepare several answers for each, so you can select the best one or use as alternative on follow-up questions

Make sure you make this about them: the hiring company. This is your chance to demonstrate interest and enthusiasm for the role you are interviewing for. To show you are not only looking for another just job (or money), but that you want THIS job! And want to understand how you can best fit and add value. So it's a win-win. This is your change to stand out from the other candidates and get to the next steps of the process. And, in the end of the day, the interviewers are human too: when you ask about them and give the opportunity to brag about the things they do they feel good and it gets YOU more likable in their eyes. So they want to see you again.

Step back and discuss actual systems, not about the specific task at hand. Ask questions about the larger architecture, the long-term customers' needs, how they view scalability and modularity, and what their plan is for tech debt. Systems are more than just a thing. You'll stand out if you help them see even more!

We are now undergoing a seismic shift that affects all parts of our lives, and from AI to cloud computing, from self driving cars to space exploration, systems engineering plays a critical role with its emphasis on systems thinking, complexity, emergent behavior, life cycle approach, providing value by creating systems that perform their intended purpose and meeting user/stakeholder needs all the way. Hence, keep an eye on "the big picture", and follow the conversation on such concepts as digital engineering, model based systems engineering, agility, and PLM/ALM.
