We are seeking a motivated Systems Engineer to join a collaborative engineering team focused on developing advanced technology solutions. This role is ideal for a candidate with a degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering who is interested in systems design, analysis, and modeling, and who wants to contribute to complex, high-impact engineering programs.

Responsibilities

• Support requirements management activities across the product lifecycle, ensuring system requirements are clearly defined, traceable, and aligned with project objectives.
• Perform data analysis to evaluate system performance, identify trends, and provide insights that guide design decisions and improvements.
• Contribute to modeling and simulation efforts to predict system behavior, validate concepts, and support design trade studies.
• Assist in the development, implementation, and refinement of algorithms that enhance system functionality and performance.
• Participate in systems engineering activities, including architecture definition, interface analysis, and integration planning.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, including requirements, system integration, system test, and special systems groups, to support end-to-end system development.
• Document engineering work products, including analysis results, models, and requirements, in appropriate tools and repositories.
• Apply signal processing, mathematics, and modeling analysis techniques to support system design and performance evaluation.
• Use tools such as MATLAB and requirements management platforms (e.g., DOORS) to perform analysis, modeling, and requirements tracking.
• Support simulation-based evaluations and test planning activities to help verify and validate system performance against requirements.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• Experience with MATLAB, gained through academic coursework, internships, or project-based work.
• Knowledge of modeling and simulation principles and their application to complex systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to apply mathematics and signal processing concepts to engineering challenges.
• Understanding of systems engineering fundamentals, including systems design, analysis, and modeling.
• Familiarity with requirements management practices and tools such as DOORS.
• Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance, including meeting all eligibility and requirements.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Internship, co-op, or research experience in an engineering or related technical environment.
• Exposure to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies.
• Familiarity with SysML and its use in systems modeling and documentation.
• Experience or coursework related to systems engineering concepts, including system integration, system test, and special systems.
• Comfort working with simulation tools and performing modeling analysis to support design and verification.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills for working within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Attention to detail and the ability to produce clear, organized technical documentation.

This position is based on a large engineering-focused campus in Syracuse, NY, with a significant portion of the site consisting of secured areas. Approximately 1,600 people work at the location, with more than 700 professionals in Engineering.
