Job Description:

As a Systems Engineer focused on aircraft-level integration, you will work across multiple technical domains to identify, track, and resolve issues that span multiple systems and disciplines. You will play a key role in ensuring the definition, implementation and verification of integrated functions, defining each system’s responsibility to fulfill the function and their interfaces.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead or support aircraft-level systems engineering activities that cut across electric propulsion, avionics, flight controls, high voltage, structures, and other systems
  • Identify, analyze, and drive resolution of cross-system integration issues and aircraft-level risks
  • Develop and maintain aircraft-level deliverables, including the Level 1 (L1) requirements, Aircraft Description Document (ADD), Aircraft-Level Integrated Test Procedures and other configuration-defining artifacts
  • Support the definition and allocation of aircraft-level requirements down to systems and components with full traceability through architecture
  • Facilitate trade studies and design integration reviews to ensure system interfaces and performance objectives align at the aircraft level
  • Collaborate with system owners to develop and maintain consistent interface definitions and system architecture views
  • Support verification planning, test coordination, and compliance demonstrations for aircraft-level requirements
  • Work closely with the chief engineer, system owners, and stakeholders (including certification, maintainability & human factors teams) to ensure the product meets overall performance, safety, and regulatory objectives

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of engineering experience on aerospace projects involving complex, multi-system integration
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • Proven expertise in ARP4754A and ARP4761 processes or similar standards
  • Experience developing or managing aircraft-level requirements and architectures
  • Experience defining and managing interfaces and aviation protocols (e.g., ARINC 429, CAN)
  • Familiarity with RTCA DO-178C and DO-254 development processes
  • Experience with Polarion or other requirements management tools
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills for cross-functional collaboration

Nice to have:

  • Experience with system safety (FMEA, FTA, HSA)
  • Experience with aircraft-level verification or flight test activities
  • Familiarity with configuration management and change control at the aircraft level
  • Prior experience supporting certification substantiation or regulatory engagement
