Sr. Systems Engineer

Worker Type Regular Job  Description Summary The  Senior Systems Engineer works with our Design Team to develop a variety of innovative Uncrewed Systems for defense and commercial applications.

This position will interact with Design Engineers to allocate requirements and influence and develop system architecture and tests to support customer needs.

These development efforts will generally be carried out by 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 these development efforts, the engineer will need to work on a variety of stages of development, including requirements definition, concept design, prototyping, detailed system architecture design, validation, and verification testing.

Position Responsibilities Develop, analyze, allocate, and maintain system, subsystem, and interface requirements throughout the product development lifecycle

Maintain bidirectional traceability of system requirements, subsystem requirements, verification methods, and test results based on customer specification

Provide weekly status of system development progress with requirements burndown to team leads and program managers

Evaluate system performance thresholds and provide design recommendations

Develop, document, and maintain internal and external system interfaces including Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and coordinate interface changes across cross-functional teams

Determine methods and procedures on new assignments and may coordinate activities of other personnel (Team Lead)
Define verification and validation (V&V) strategies, including test methods, success criteria, and requirements closure approaches

Develop and support execution of test plans, procedures, and test cases for bench, SIL, HIL, integration, ground, and flight test activities for Uncrewed Systems Identify, communicate, and help mitigate technical risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies
