Job Title:

Systems Engineer (Level II and Level 3-4) Job Description

This role provides system-level engineering support as part of a cross-functional team developing complex electromechanical systems, with a focus on requirements, system documentation, design reviews, and support across the full system lifecycle. The position is open to both Level II systems engineers with at least 2 years of experience and systems engineers with 5 or more years of experience. You will work closely with internal teams and external customers to define requirements, maintain traceability, support verification and validation activities, and ensure successful transition from concept through production for advanced maritime and underwater technology programs.

• Support system-level engineering activities across the full lifecycle, including concept development, system design, integration, test, and transition to production.

• Write, maintain, and update technical documentation such as requirements, specifications, interface control documents, compliance matrices, and test plans.

• Develop and document engineering processes and standards that meet customer and program requirements.

• Prepare documentation for and support formal system design and review events, including System Requirements Review (SRR), System Functional Review (SFR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), and Test Readiness Review (TRR).

• Work directly with customers to define, clarify, and refine system requirements and ensure alignment throughout the program lifecycle.

• Establish and maintain requirements traceability and support verification and validation (V&V) activities to confirm systems meet specified requirements.

• Identify, analyze, and help solve moderate-complexity engineering problems in a timely and structured manner.

• Apply and support digital engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) practices, including SysML modeling, where appropriate.

• Support systems engineering tasks such as architecture development, system integration planning, risk management, and configuration management.

• Use requirements management tools such as DOORS or DOORS Next Generation (DNG) to manage, track, and maintain requirements baselines.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including hardware, software, and test engineers, to ensure cohesive system designs and smooth integration.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of systems engineering documentation, configuration control, and documentation standards.

• Support programs involving sonar, weapons systems, and underwater technologies by providing clear, accurate, and timely engineering artifacts and technical input.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering with 2+ years of related experience, or a Master’s degree in engineering (relevant experience may be accepted in lieu of a degree).

• 2+ years of systems engineering experience for Level II roles; 5+ years of systems engineering experience for Level III

• Demonstrated experience with systems engineering activities such as requirements development, traceability, verification and validation (V&V), and configuration management.

• Ability to write and maintain technical documentation, including requirements, specifications, interface documents, compliance matrices, and test plans.

• Understanding of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) concepts and practices.

• Experience using DOORS or DOORS Next Generation (DNG) for requirements management.

• Familiarity with digital engineering approaches and system-level design reviews.

• Ability to identify and resolve moderate-complexity engineering problems in a structured and timely manner.

• Strong communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams and interact directly with customers.

• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance.

• Experience with Microsoft Power BI for reporting and data visualization.

• Experience with Microsoft SharePoint for document management and collaboration.

• Exposure to data analysis or data science tools and workflows.

• Electro-mechanical hardware design experience or familiarity with electromechanical systems.
