Principal Engineer - Systems Engineering Security Clearance

Position: Principal Engineer - Systems Engineering with Security Clearance
Worker Type Regular

Job Description The Principal Engineer - Systems Engineering works with our Design team to develop a missile system for defense applications. This position will interact with the other engineering disciplines as well as suppliers to allocate/develop/evaluate requirements as well as maintain development schedules. These development efforts will generally be small focused design teams, which will require engineers to use a range of skills and tools across traditional engineering, computer science, and mathematical disciplines.

Because of the nature of the development efforts, the engineer will need to work on a variety of stages of development including requirements definition, concept design, prototyping, detailed design, validation and verification testing.
Position Responsibilities

• Support requirements traceability and evolution through the system development cycle

• Provide weekly status of system development progress with requirements burn down

• Allocate requirements to subsystem & engineering coordination

• Manage/facilitate supplier efforts to support the design cycle and test events

• Evaluate system performance thresholds and providing direction

• Provide input for model development and simulation analysis

• Review and interpret customer specification effectively

• Identifies, analyzes and resolves system design weaknesses. Influences the shaping of future products by contributing to the framework (architecture) used across multiple products or systems

• Work on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an evaluation of intangibles

• Exercise judgment in selecting methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results

• Determine methods and procedures on new assignments and may coordinate activities of other personnel (Team Lead and cross-functional partnerships)

• Other duties as assigned
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills & Experience)

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, or Mechanical Engineering is required or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience

• 10-12 years of experience in a systems engineering role (Aerospace systems engineering preferred)

• 4-7 years of experience in applying Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) to design.

• 5-7 years of experience with Cameo or 5 yrs of Software creation experience.

• Has managed requirements traceability and evolution through the system development cycle

• Provided an effective weekly status of system development progress with requirements burn down

• Allocated requirements to subsystem & engineering coordination

• Evaluated system performance thresholds and providing direction

• Developed instrumented flight test vectors and data acquisition

• Provided input for model development and simulation analysis

• Strong Matlab skills and is proficient with office software and computer based productivity tools

• Familiarity with electronics and systems related to image collection and analysis

• Has developed systems test plans, procedures, and reports and reviewed and interpreted specifications

• Writing Systems Safety protocols and ensuring personnel safety during field testing
Other Qualifications & Desired Competencies

• Advanced degree is preferred
