• Develop, decompose, allocate, analyze, and maintain system and subsystem requirements.
• Support requirements solicitation, clarification, review, baseline management, and traceability.
• Evaluate requirements for clarity, completeness, consistency, feasibility, and verifiability.
• Develop and maintain interface documentation, including Interface Control Documents and related specifications.
• Coordinate interfaces across electrical, mechanical, optical, software, firmware, thermal, data, and operational disciplines.
• Review system and subsystem designs for alignment with requirements, interfaces, and intended functionality.
• Support the development and maintenance of Concept of Operations (Con Ops) documents, operational scenarios, and related system-level technical documentation.
• Participate in electrical and hardware design reviews, including reviews involving circuit card assemblies and spacecraft electrical systems.
• Develop and maintain verification strategies, methods, success criteria, and verification-tracking artifacts.
• Support planning and execution of verification activities, including test, demonstration, inspection, and analysis.
• Coordinate verification activities with Integration and Test personnel and track verification evidence and closure.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including plans, procedures, specifications, reports, analyses, and review materials.
• Support the implementation and continuous improvement of systems-engineering processes, templates, and guidance.

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
• 2 or more years of relevant engineering experience in systems engineering, electrical engineering, avionics, optical engineering, controls, hardware integration, test engineering, or a related discipline.
• Experience applying systems-engineering principles, or related requirements, interface, integration, verification, or technical-documentation practices, in an aerospace, defense, or other disciplined engineering environment.
• Experience with one or more of the following:
  • Requirements development, management, decomposition, allocation, or traceability
  • Interface definition and control
  • Verification and validation planning or execution
  • System integration and test
  • Technical design reviews
  • Controlled engineering documentation
• Ability to understand and meaningfully review electrical and hardware system designs, interfaces, and functionality. Direct CCA design experience is not required.
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently on assigned tasks and collaboratively across engineering disciplines.
• Must be eligible to work with CUI and ITAR-controlled information.
• Equivalent combinations of education, experience, and demonstrated technical capability may be considered.

• Master's degree in engineering, physics, or a related technical field.
• 4 or more years of experience supporting formal aerospace or defense development programs and technical reviews.
• Familiarity with Model-Based…
