Systems Engineer - ASL

Overview:

The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry.

GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry.

Georgia Tech's mission is to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition. The Institute has nine key values that are foundational to everything we do:

• Students are our top priority.
• We strive for excellence.
• We thrive on diversity.
• We celebrate collaboration.
• We champion innovation.
• We safeguard freedom of inquiry and expression.
• We nurture the wellbeing of our community.
• We act ethically.
• We are responsible stewards.

Over the next decade, Georgia Tech will become an example of inclusive innovation, a leading technological research university of unmatched scale, relentlessly committed to serving the public good; breaking new ground in addressing the biggest local, national, and global challenges and opportunities of our time; making technology broadly accessible; and developing exceptional, principled leaders from all backgrounds ready to produce novel ideas and create solutions with real human impact.

The Applied Systems Laboratory (ASL) Project Management, Quality and Test Division (PMQTD) conducts research on missile systems, military aircraft and systems, specializing in avionics, electronic warfare, autonomy, missile systems and tactical communications/datalink systems. The team's engineering roles include Applied Systems Engineering, Datalink Engineering, Embedded Software, Enterprise Software and Test Engineering. This position would support these efforts as a test engineer. This is a full-time research position which reports to the Quality Control and Test Branch Head.

The Systems Engineer oversees and coordinates the work of technical teams on systems projects, ensuring the successful design, implementation, operation, and technical management of those projects. Taking a holistic approach to systems engineering, the Systems Engineer ensures that all aspects of a system project are considered and addressed. The Systems Engineer works closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and then develops and documents technical requirements that meet those needs.

The Systems Engineer leads the design team in developing a system architecture that meets all of the requirements. After the system is designed, the Systems Engineer oversees the implementation of the system, working with the implementation team to ensure that it meets all of the requirements. Once the system is deployed, the Systems Engineer manages the technical aspects of the system, including monitoring performance, troubleshooting problems, and making improvements.

• Facilitate product or system requirements gathering and analysis with sponsors and other key stakeholders.
• Verify systems engineering product life-cycle components to include definitions, requirements analysis, synthesis, systems analysis and implementation.
• Conduct product or system design synthesis translating requirements into physical architectures for systems of moderate complexity to include defining and refining internal and external interfaces.
• Develop and contribute to technical reports and diagrams detailing product or system attributes.
• Analyze product or system functionality as defined by requirements.

• Analyze product or system functionality as defined by requirements.
• Interface with and learn how to work with disparate engineering teams for technical tasking.
• Developing and updating test scripts, plans, procedures and report documentation.
• Execute developed test procedures and document results in a formal setting.
• Technically coordinate a cross-functional team to develop test solutions for our DOD sponsors ensuring all products meet allocated requirements and design through formal testing.
• Create and maintain test scripts, files and data that support formal testing.
• Work in an integrated product team and understand system and unit level requirements in order to create test plans and procedures.
• Utilize existing system specifications, interface definitions, and aircraft avionics in the development of test procedures.
• Ensure that all technical work is performed and documented to appropriate professional standards.
• Develop test estimates for proposed work and status current tasking.

• Experience in test engineering processes and methodologies applicable to complex, software-intensive military or avionics systems.
• Experience in…
