Jobs at Draper

The Systems Integration & Test Engineer will plan, execute, and manage integration and testing activities, as well as collaborate on systems engineering. Duties include defining approaches, contributing to reports, and addressing program changes.

The role involves leading systems engineering for product development in defense and aerospace systems, managing requirements, and collaborating with teams on complex engineering solutions.

The Senior Navigation Analysis Engineer will develop navigation algorithms, software, and handle system lifecycle support while leading small teams. Key responsibilities include design, testing, documentation, and communication with stakeholders.

The Embedded Software Engineer develops software for resource-constrained targets, engages in the full software development life cycle, and collaborates on various embedded systems projects.

Lead integration and test efforts for MEMS IMU systems, managing a team of 10–15 engineers. Oversee test development and execution (ESS, ATP, Qualification), create test plans/procedures, coordinate facilities/equipment, troubleshoot technical issues, manage test data and reports, onboard/train operators, and present TRRs to stakeholders.

The Senior Program Finance Analyst supports program finance leadership by ensuring accurate financial metrics, managing schedules, costs, and compliance with regulations, and preparing detailed financial reports.

Develop high performance embedded software solutions for various domains, collaborate in the software development life cycle, and evaluate design performance and compliance.

The Principal Embedded Software Engineer leads the development of complex embedded software for military and space applications, managing technical risks and providing expertise in real-time systems.

The Production Planner/Scheduler ensures materials, schedules, and production activities are aligned, coordinating with various departments to meet deadlines and optimize resources.

The Digital Engineering Data Solutions Architect will develop data architectures, support system lifecycle management, and collaborate on innovative solutions in national security projects.

Support systems engineering tasks including requirements identification and flow-down, use-case development, system concept/architecture, analysis and verification/test planning, modeling/simulation, and technical reporting. Work within multidisciplinary teams to translate mission/customer needs into system requirements, perform assessments, and incorporate results into documentation under program leadership.

Lead development and lifecycle management of complex electrical, mechanical, and software-based test equipment. Serve as lead systems integrator for integration and test (I&T) activities from concept through certification. Define verifiable requirements, drive testable architectures, identify and mitigate system-level risks, produce technical reports and presentations, mentor junior engineers, and coordinate with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders.

Lead a 15–20 engineer group to plan, execute, and manage integration and testing (development, verification, qualification, acceptance) of complex electromechanical systems across the lifecycle. Provide testability input to designs, develop hardware/software/cabling and test artifacts, mentor staff, hire and manage personnel, engage customers and program managers, direct R&D and proposals, and support security clearance requirements.

Lead a 15-20 engineer group to plan, execute, and manage system-level electromechanical integration and testing across the development lifecycle. Shape technical roadmaps, support design for testability, mentor staff, liaise with customers and program managers, drive R&D and proposals, and ensure verified, validated system deliveries.

Define, analyze, and verify system and subsystem requirements within an MBSE/digital engineering framework. Develop CONOPS/use cases, flow down requirements, perform simulation-based trades and verification, create test strategies, lead small teams, identify risks and mitigations, and mentor junior engineers. Support on-site in Cambridge and obtain necessary security clearance.

Design, develop, integrate, and test optical, photonic, and laser systems and prototypes. Specify and qualify optical components, develop test procedures and instrumentation, perform root-cause analysis, document engineering changes, recommend cost reductions, identify and mitigate program-level risks, and mentor junior engineers.

Develops and refines MEMS fabrication processes (metrology, electrical test, BEOL, or wafer bond), performs device testing and failure analysis, improves yield and reliability, documents procedures, and collaborates across teams to execute and scale manufacturing methods.

Design, develop, test, and support electrical hardware including PCBs, analog/digital circuits, sensors, motors, and radar/navigation systems. Build and debug prototypes, produce manufacturing documentation, perform simulations and verification, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver reliable solutions.

Design, prototype, test, and oversee manufacture of PCBs and embedded hardware (analog/digital/power). Translate requirements into hardware architectures, support cross-functional teams, debug prototypes, create manufacturing documentation, and contribute technical reports. Work onsite and obtain/maintain government security clearance.

The Systems Engineer will develop and manage requirements for guidance, navigation, and control systems, focusing on stakeholder needs and system design.
