Senior Systems Engineer

Role Overview

• Involved with the analysis, design, development and implementation of new and/or existing systems/sub-systems
• May include Architectural Design, Requirements Engineering, or others
• Determine system specifications
• Support acquisition of hardware and software (or subcontractor services as needed)
• Responsible for leading group of engineers on a technical activity and completion of activity on time and budget
• Design, develop, analyze, document and support testing of products, systems or subsystems
• May use computer-aided engineering or other design/analysis software in the performance of assignments
• Review customer specifications and requirements, and under direction, develop designs to best support them, including cost as a key design variable
• Provide budget, cost and schedule input for design assignments
• Specify and evaluate supplier components, subsystems and services
• Drive the program design to cost and design for manufacture requirements
• Develop prototypes to retire key development risks
• Communicate clearly (written and oral) with other company personnel and the customer as required
• Participate in preparation of proposals
• Provide technical knowledge and assistance to other engineers and support personnel
• Lead and direct the work of others as assigned
• Support, communicate, reinforce and defend the mission, values and culture of the organization
• Attend appropriate engineering, customer or business meetings
• Lead less-experienced engineers
• Demonstrates familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods and tools (e.g., Cameo, DOORS), or a willingness to learn and apply these practices
• Leads hands-on development and integration of embedded computing systems for airborne and shipboard products, including subsystem bring-up, interface integration, troubleshooting, and verification in a lab and production-representative environment.
• Demonstrates practical experience with embedded hardware and software integration (e.g., CPU/SoC-based compute, real-time interfaces, board-level I/O, networking, serial buses) and system-level debug using lab instrumentation and engineering test tools
• Serves as technical lead for small to mid-scale work packages: decomposing scope, coordinating a matrix team (Systems, Hardware, Software, Mechanical, Test), establishing integration strategy, and driving execution to cost and schedule
• Produces and reviews engineering work products expected in delivered defense products, such as: System and Subsystem Architectures, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Requirements Allocations, Verification Plans and Procedures, Integration Plans, and Technical Risk Assessments.
• Supports pursuit capture and proposals by developing technical approaches, solution architectures, compliance matrices, make-buy inputs, technical volumes, and risk-reduction plans (including prototype or demo concepts when needed).
• Collaborates with production and test organizations to enable design for manufacture and test, including support for factory bring-up, acceptance test strategy, and resolution of integration and yield issues.
• Develops skills in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) or advanced automation techniques to support engineering analysis and decision-making.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical field
• a minimum of 5 years of experience or a combination of both
