Original job description

Job Title: Systems EngineerJob DescriptionThis Systems Engineer role focuses on supporting unmanned, manned, and optionally piloted aircraft platforms, as well as unmanned ground vehicles. You will work across the full lifecycle of complex aerospace and defense systems, from initial concept and requirements definition through design, integration, test, and deployment.Responsibilities

Analyze customer and stakeholder needs to develop, decompose, derive, and allocate requirements to system and subsystem elements.
Develop system architectures for new and existing aircraft and unmanned ground vehicle systems, ensuring alignment with mission and customer objectives.
Create and maintain system design documentation, including system schematics, interface control documents (ICDs), and system/subsystem interface definitions.
Utilize and maintain existing analytical models and develop new models to support system design, trade studies, and performance assessments.
Conduct trade studies and perform design research on core engineering concepts to determine optimal requirements, architectures, and design approaches.
Plan, develop, and document test strategies, test plans, test procedures, and test reports based on requirements and system architecture.
Develop detailed test cases directly from requirements documentation to verify and validate system and subsystem performance.
Lead and conduct testing activities, including integration and test (I&T), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), and operational test execution as applicable.
Ensure clear traceability between requirements, design, implementation, and test results, understanding and managing the full V-model lifecycle from left (definition and design) to right (integration and test).
Participate in planning, design, integration, testing, and deployment of moderately complex engineered systems and software to ensure conformance with functional specifications and customer definitions.
Work closely with the Software Engineering team to develop software system requirements and test requirements that align with overall system needs.
Adhere to structured and defined development processes, including formal design and review milestones such as Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and Critical Design Review (CDR).

Essential Skills

Experience developing system requirements and system architectures in collaboration with a multidisciplinary engineering team.
Proven experience with involvement in requirements definition, system design, integration, and test.
