Senior Model- Systems Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Model-Based Systems Engineer – Integration, Verification & Validation (IV&V) to own interface management and the full system verification and validation program across Rondo’s products. This role is responsible for planning, defining, and reporting on all integration and V&V activities, from requirements through final evidence packages.

• Own all interface boundary definitions and configuration control; author and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs), delegating responsibility to subsystem leads where appropriate to ensure 100% interface coverage and oversight.
• Use interface analysis methods – context diagrams, N2 diagrams, functional analysis, FMEA/STPA, etc. – to identify interactions, assess risks, and define requirements; maintain bidirectional traceability to the system architecture and V&V artifacts.
• Plan and define interface verification activities; coordinate cross‑functional review and approval of interface changes; ensure every change triggers an impact assessment.
• Verify that discipline engineers are performing clash detection, envelope compliance, and tolerance stack‑up checks correctly in a federated CAD/PLM model.

• Define V&V success criteria, strategy, and method for every requirement across a combination of model‑based simulation and physical testing.
• Develop V&V plans for system, subsystems, and system elements; author procedures; schedule verification events and enforce a logical bottom‑up integration sequence.
• Work in close collaboration with subsystem and functional teams to confirm plans are comprehensive.
• Collect evidence from execution teams, review for correctness and completeness, manage discrepancies and non‑compliance through to closure, and assemble the final compliance summary.
• Plan and define V&V for all phases of on‑site commissioning.

• Build and maintain automated workflows in an AI‑powered systems engineering platform to connect requirements, interfaces, simulations, verification status, interface changes, and traceability into a live, continuously updated picture of program health.
• Author AI skills to automate repetitive SE tasks: requirements quality checks, coverage gap detection, interface impact analysis, and verification status roll‑ups.

• Maintain end‑to‑end bidirectional traceability from stakeholder needs through requirements, interfaces, risks, and verification evidence.
• Present verification readiness and evidence status at program reviews; produce compliance summaries and requests for variance or concessions where needed.
• Ensure functional safety (IEC 61511), cybersecurity (IEC 62443), and other regulatory requirements are fully evidenced; apply risk‑based prioritization.

• 7+ years in systems, integration, or verification engineering on complex multi‑disciplinary, software‑intensive systems (energy storage, industrial, aerospace, automotive, robotics, or similar); 3+ years in a model‑based engineering environment.
• Hands‑on interface management experience.
• Demonstrated experience writing system‑level V&V plans and defining verification strategies in a model‑based simulation environment.
• Experience with requirements management tools (Jama, Flow) and bidirectional traceability.
• Comfortable with Solid Works or equivalent PLM/CAD environments.
• Familiarity with CFD and reduced‑order modeling tools (Ansys, MATLAB/Simulink) sufficient to define and validate toolchain integrations.
• Comfort working with AI‑powered tools and building automation workflows; hands‑on experience with Claude and MCP server development is a strong asset.
• Working knowledge of SysML and at least one MBSE tool (Catia Magic/Cameo, Rhapsody, Capella); experience defining V&V attributes and traceability inside the model.
• Familiarity with safety and risk analysis methods (FMEA, FTA, STPA) and their connection to verification planning.
• Familiarity with top‑down SE processes (ISO 15288, INCOSE) and MBSE methods.
• Strong communication, able to teach, influence, and lead across functional design teams.

• Experience with model‑based…
