Description

DESCRIPTION Are you an experienced systems engineering leader looking for the opportunity to become the technical expert behind avionics products that support one of the most widely flown fighter aircraft in the world? Innovative Aerosystems is seeking a Sr. Systems Engineer to provide technical leadership for the company's F-16 avionics products. This role offers the unique opportunity to work within a small, highly collaborative engineering team where critical design decisions, system architecture, integration, testing, and product development are managed under one roof. The successful candidate will serve as the technical authority and Subject Matter Expert for IA's F-16 products, providing oversight across mechanical, electrical, software, manufacturing, and testing disciplines. This individual will be responsible for driving system-level decisions, managing technical risks, and serving as the primary technical interface with our external manufacturing partner. The ideal candidate brings a strong understanding of the F-16 avionics architecture and its components, along with a clear picture of how the aircraft's block upgrades have changed avionics hardware, software, and interfaces over time. Knowledge of the F-16 Flight Control System and Display System is a large plus. In this role, you will be the trusted technical voice supporting proposals, technical interchange meetings, and troubleshooting activities with customers and suppliers. This position is ideal for an engineering professional who enjoys solving complex multidisciplinary challenges, influencing product direction, and making a direct impact on the success of a combat proven aircraft that continues to evolve.

Acts as the primary interface between Innovative Aerosystems and the external manufacturing partner, ensuring design intent, technical requirements, and program objectives are successfully communicated and executed.
Defines and manages system-level requirements, interfaces, architecture, and verification strategies.
Leads multidisciplinary engineering activities involving mechanical, electrical, avionics, software, controls, and integration disciplines.
Coordinates system trade studies and design reviews to balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, schedule, and cost objectives.
Identifies technical risks, develops mitigation plans, and drives resolution of complex engineering challenges.
Oversees system integration, testing, validation, and performance assessment activities.
Works closely with engineering leadership to establish program priorities, resource needs, and technical roadmaps.
Supports development of product specifications, requirements documentation, interface definitions, and verification procedures.
Provides technical mentorship and guidance to engineering team members.
Evaluates design changes and engineering proposals to ensure alignment with system requirements and program objectives.
Supports customer interactions, technical presentations, and project reviews as required.
Maintains awareness of applicable aerospace regulations, industry standards, and engineering best practices.
