    • Utilize industry tools (e.g., Cameo, MBSC, digital twin frameworks) to produce system views and architectural models.
    • Lead the production of essential documentation and data streams that inform and guide product maturity strategies.

Collaboration & Technical Leadership:

    • Interface with Systems Architects and lead disciplines to ensure the day-to-day delivery of baseline system designs.
    • Address and manage technical debt efficiently, operating in the "hot seat" to deliver critical documents and maintain system balance.
    • Ensure systems are production-ready by managing interfaces and ensuring compliance through robust verification and validation strategies.

Qualifications:

    • Proven experience in systems engineering within a complex, multidisciplinary environment.
    • History of successfully developing, documenting, and maturing systems to meet production requirements.
    • Adept at managing technical debt, creating strong requirements, and driving validation processes.
    • Familiarity with military standards and compliance is a plus.
    • Excellent documentation skills and proficiency with tools such as Cameo for modeling and system visualization.

Join us at ECC and play a critical role in shaping the technical foundation that supports our advanced, cutting-edge products. If you're ready to connect the dots across disciplines and drive our systems to production excellence, we’d love to hear from you!
