Lead Engineer – Systems Engineering; Remote Eligible, U.S

Overview

Job Description

Summary:

Systems engineering is a cross‑functional discipline that focuses on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities consider both the business and technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users’ needs. The discipline executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, including identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performing design trade studies, selecting and implementing the best designs, and verifying that the design is properly integrated and executed.

The process proceeds from concept to production to operation. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.
