Senior Systems Engineer

Senior Systems Engineer Location: Muskegon, Michigan Employment Type: Full-Time

Security Clearance: Candidates must be capable of obtaining a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) security clearance.

The Senior Systems Engineer is an experienced engineering professional responsible for the design and development of military powertrain solutions. This includes requirements definition and analysis, system architecture definition and assessment, subsystem specification, design reviews, subsystem acceptance, system integration, and the development and execution of test plans and procedures.

The systems may involve new product development, reliability improvements, enhancements to existing systems or subsystems, or components integrated into a larger vehicle system.

The successful candidate will apply engineering principles, technical theories, standard engineering practices, and established processes to develop effective system-level solutions for defense applications.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is an experienced Systems Engineer with a strong background in requirements engineering, system architecture, subsystem design, and system integration. The candidate should be comfortable leading cross-functional engineering teams and translating vehicle, engine, and transmission-level requirements into component-level specifications.

Experience with military powertrain systems, tracked vehicles, engine and transmission integration, reliability engineering, or defense product development will be particularly valuable.

Candidates with experience using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools, especially Dassault Cameo, are preferred.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or an equivalent technical discipline, with a minimum of 6 years of engineering experience; OR
• Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or an equivalent technical discipline, with 4+ years of relevant engineering experience.
• Experience in systems engineering, product engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Ability to understand and work with system-level and subsystem-level requirements.
• Experience coordinating engineering activities across multiple technical disciplines.
• Ability to manage and organize multiple project tasks while meeting established deadlines.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and Outlook.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Must be capable of obtaining a DoD security clearance.
• Must be available for occasional domestic and international travel of less than 10%.
• Ability to move freely within manufacturing and laboratory environments, with reasonable accommodation.

Preferred Qualifications
