Own system-level architecture, requirements, interfaces, integration, verification, validation, risk management, and technical coordination across hardware, software, and mechanical subsystems for safety-critical, field-deployed systems.
Description
About the role
You'll be the connective tissue of our engineering team — owning the system-level architecture, requirements, and integration strategy across hardware, software, and mechanical subsystems. Our products are safety-critical, field-deployed systems built to demanding performance and reliability requirements. This role requires someone who can hold the big picture while diving into subsystem details when it matters.
What you'll do:
- Own the system-level architecture: define how hardware, software, and mechanical subsystems interact, and document it in a way the whole team can build against.
- Develop and maintain system requirements — derive subsystem requirements, manage traceability, and own the requirements baseline.
- Lead integration planning: define interfaces, manage dependencies across subsystems, and coordinate bring-up and qualification activities.
- Drive system-level verification and validation — test planning, execution, anomaly resolution, and sign-off.
- Identify and track system-level risks; develop mitigations before they become fielding problems.
- Serve as the technical lead in design reviews, interface control discussions, and customer/government technical meetings.
- Translate operational requirements and customer needs into actionable engineering constraints.
Required:
- 8+ years of systems engineering experience on defense, aerospace, robotics, or other complex, safety-critical programs.
- Deep understanding of the systems engineering lifecycle: requirements development, architecture, ICD management, V&V planning, and qualification.
- Experience managing interfaces across hardware, embedded software, and mechanical subsystems.
- Comfort reading and authoring engineering documentation: interface control documents, test plans, hazard analyses, and SSPs.
- Proven ability to lead technical coordination across a multidisciplinary team.
- Working English, written and verbal.
Nice to have:
- Experience with DoD acquisition programs, MIL-STD-882 (system safety), or MIL-STD-461/810.
- Background in UAV systems, autonomous systems, or defense payload integration.
- Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tools (Cameo, Rhapsody, or similar).
- Experience supporting government program reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR) or formal qualification events.
- Active security clearance or eligibility.
How we work: You'll work across the full team — hardware, software, and mechanical — and be the person who catches integration problems before they reach the test range. We expect clear documentation, decisive recommendations, and the ability to hold a technical position under scrutiny.
