Systems Requirements Engineer

We are seeking a Systems Requirements Engineer to serve as a critical bridge between domain Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and the Central Software Engineering team at SWARCO McCain in the development of advanced transportation solutions.

This role is responsible for eliciting, analyzing, and documenting business and operational needs and transforming them into structured, testable, and traceable system-level requirements that drive software development across the SDLC.

The ideal candidate is skilled in working with diverse stakeholders—including traffic engineering experts, product management, UI/UX designers, and software developers—to define clear functional and non‑functional requirements for complex systems such as ramp metering, traffic management, and intelligent transportation solutions.

• Conduct structured interviews and working sessions with Subject Matter Experts (e.g., ramp metering, signal timing, corridor management) to capture business needs and operational workflows.
• Analyze and decompose high‑level business requirements into detailed system requirements and feature specifications.
• Identify functional, non‑functional, interface, and performance requirements across system components.

• Author clear, concise, and testable system requirements, use cases, and user stories.
• Create and maintain requirement artifacts including:
• System Requirement Specifications (SRS)
• Feature definitions and acceptance criteria
• Workflow diagrams and functional models
• Ensure requirements are traceable across the SDLC (business need, system requirement, implementation, test validation).

• Serve as the primary liaison between SMEs and engineering teams to ensure accurate interpretation of requirements.
• Collaborate with:
• UI/UX designers to translate functional workflows into user experiences
• Software developers to clarify requirements and support implementation
• QA engineers to define acceptance criteria and validate test coverage
• Participate in Agile ceremonies (backlog grooming, sprint planning, reviews).

• Develop deep understanding of transportation systems (e.g., ramp metering, traffic signal control, incident management).
• Translate domain‑specific logic into software‑ready requirements (e.g., control algorithms, timing strategies, operator workflows).
• Support iterative feature development by refining requirements based on feedback and testing outcomes.

• Ensure requirements support development best practices and quality targets across the SDLC.
• Assist in defining acceptance criteria and validation strategies with QA teams.
• Review deliverables to ensure alignment with defined requirements and intended system behavior.

• No unusual physical requirements. It requires no heavy lifting, and nearly all work is done in a comfortable indoor facility.
• Occasional – Routine deadlines; usually sufficient lead time; variance in work volume seasonal and predictable; priorities can be anticipated; some interruptions are present; involves occasional exposure to demands and pressures…
