Job Summary Job Title:
Systems Engineer Job Description This Systems Engineer role supports a new, highly technical development program focused on a first-of-its-kind power architecture for a new class of aircraft. You will build structured requirements from the ground up, ensure full traceability, and drive system architecture and certification readiness in a hardware-heavy, front-end engineering environment. The position offers significant influence over requirements definition and system architecture, along with high visibility and direct interaction with customers. Responsibilities Lead the capture, decomposition, and flow-down of system requirements for a new development program. Write, organize, and maintain structured requirements documentation, including reverse engineering legacy designs into clear, traceable requirements. Ensure end-to-end requirements traceability and alignment with FAA design assurance standards and other applicable certification requirements. Support system verification and validation activities, including test planning, execution oversight, and documentation of results. Contribute to safety analyses and reliability assessments to ensure system robustness and compliance with relevant standards. Create and manage Supplier Data Requirements Lists to clearly define and control supplier deliverables. Develop qualification and acceptance test plans, procedures, reports, and compliance matrices to demonstrate system conformity. Support key program milestones such as Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Test Readiness Review (TRR), and Production Readiness Review (PRR). Coordinate and manage technical changes across cross-functional teams, ensuring consistent implementation and documentation. Participate in weekly customer meetings, provide technical updates, and support overall program execution. Support design reviews and collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering teams to resolve technical issues. Apply strong systems engineering judgment to understand system-level design tradeoffs and their impacts on performance, reliability, and certification. Essential Skills Bachelor's degree in engineering (mechanical, electrical, aerospace, systems or related discipline). Extensive experience (7+ years, mid-career ideal) in systems engineering, with a strong focus on R& D and new product development. Proficiency with requirements management tools, with DOORS highly preferred, or similar tools such as CaliberRM, Jama, or comparable platforms. Demonstrated ability in requirements capture, decomposition, and flow-down for complex systems. Experience supporting design reviews and working within structured design and development processes. Background in mechanical or electrical engineering with a strong systems engineering foundation. Experience working with rotating machinery or propulsion systems, including an understanding of vibration and rotor dynamics. Experience with thermal analysis of electronics and comfort working in hardware-heavy, non-software-centric environments. Familiarity with system verification and validation processes, including test plan development and execution. Experience with safety analyses and reliability assessments for high-reliability systems. Ability to understand and evaluate system-level design tradeoffs and their impacts on performance and certification. Experience with or understanding of standards such as
