Yes and no, depends. It gives such experience to a software architect, otherwise not really. Tho, software architects do a lot more than just systems design (tho, that is pretty much their main task). But yes, you get a job as a software architect or something like an "in-training" one, helping one, etc. at a big corporation to get such experience (I'd argue that small companies only need some code design, you want a lot of systems/software design you should go for a big corporation)
