Job Summary: This is an exciting role an innovative, high-growth defense technology company. The ideal candidate for the position is someone who has experience with full lifecycle system development. In this role, you will work closely with a talented engineering team, reporting to the Senior Manager, Systems Engineering and part of Systems team. The Systems Engineer – Development role is a multidisciplinary role, with significant breadth (interacting with all engineering disciplines) and depth (from customer needs to unit-level specifications). The Systems Engineer – Development role will focus on typical Systems Engineering responsibilities, such as requirements definition & management (at system, subsystem, and component levels), system architecture, system analysis, change management, interface definition, etc. Additionally, in this role the Systems Engineer – Development engineer is a key stakeholder in integration, verification, and validation (IV&V) planning and execution to ensure products meet requirements. As much as possible, a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach is employed to make Systems Engineering processes more thorough and efficient. As a fast-moving technology company, Systems Engineering at Epirus focuses on supporting the other engineering teams and facilitating rapid development, rather than focusing on overly bureaucratic processes.
Responsibilities:
Requirements
- Contribute to system requirements definition and management for a product
- Ensure Key Performance Parameters, as derived through mission modeling and operational analysis, are properly flowed to system requirements
- Act as an interface with either existing or prospective customers to prove customer requirements / needs are fully satisfied by system requirements
- Coordinate key requirements with subsystem design teams; ensuring requirement flow-down to hardware and software subsystems is captured and properly traced
- Collaborate with design engineering to ensure system architecture is properly captured in MBSE diagrams (to include Structural and Behavioral Diagrams)
- Work with business development to create architectures for new solutions and applications in proposals
- Maintain architectural definition throughout the development process to ensure team alignment
- Develop interface control documentation and own interface management between hardware/software/firmware subsystems
- Perform trade studies and quick-turn impact analyses to facilitate agile hardware/software/firmware development
- Perform analysis to prove system requirements are addressed by the system design
- Ensure best practices for configuration management are adhered to
- Facilitate multi-discipline coordination across teams
- Participate in IV&V planning and preparation
- Contribute technical writing and figures to proposals and other business development efforts
Basic Qualifications:
- BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace, or similar field
- 3-5 years industry experience, preferably with experience spanning the entire product lifecycle (Concept to Delivery)
- Demonstrated experience contributing to establishment of a technical baseline of a system / product
- Experience working with Systems Engineering tools for Requirements Management and Product Lifecycle Management (e.g. JAMA, Polarion, DOORS)
- Experience working with MBSE (e.g. SparxEA, Capella)
- Experience with Python development or other similar object-oriented languages
- Experience working with Git/GitHub, or similar version control systems
- Ability to identify gaps, prioritize in the context of the project / program, and lead an effort involving multiple engineers from other teams to resolve issues
- The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance. OR Active Secret or Top Secret clearance, or ability to obtain one desired but not required.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Experience working with RF systems (e.g. radar, comms, EW, etc.), preferably including phased arrays
- Experience working in System Safety and Reliability Engineering
- Good written and oral communication skills; not afraid to speak up, either to ask for help or disagree on a technical point that warrants more discussion
- Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization
- Ability to anticipate and communicate blockers, delays, and cost ballooning within the project before they require escalation
- Organized; comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
- Focused, with perspective on what matters most, rapidly delivering customer value
