Join to apply for the
Systems Engineer, Sr.
role at
AV The
Sr. Systems Engineer
works with our Design team to develop a variety of innovative Unmanned Systems for defense and commercial applications. This position will interact with Controls Engineers to allocate requirements and develop architectures to drive simulation models. These development efforts will generally be small focused design teams, which will require engineers to use a range of skills and tools across traditional engineering, computer science, and mathematical disciplines. Because of the nature of the development efforts, the engineer will need to work on a variety of stages of development including requirements definition, concept design, prototyping, detailed design, validation and verification testing. Position Responsibilities
Manage requirements traceability and evolution through the system development cycle Provide weekly status of system development progress with requirements burn down Allocate requirements to subsystem & engineering coordination Evaluate system performance thresholds and providing direction Work with Senior Staff Engineers in developing instrumented flight test vectors and data acquisition Provide input for model development and simulation analysis Review and interpret customer specification effectively Identifies, analyzes and resolves system design weaknesses. Influences the shaping of future products by contributing to the framework (architecture) used across multiple products or systems Work on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an evaluation of intangibles Exercise judgment in selecting methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results Determine methods and procedures on new assignments and may coordinate activities of other personnel (Team Lead) Other duties as assigned Basic Qualifications (Required Skills & Experience)
Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, or Mechanical Engineering is required or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience 8 - 12 years of experience in a systems engineering role (Aerospace systems engineering preferred) Proficiency with C/C++ and Matlab required Has managed requirements traceability and evolution through the system development cycle Provided an effective weekly status of system development progress with requirements burn down Allocated requirements to subsystem & engineering coordination Evaluated system performance thresholds and providing direction Developed instrumented flight test vectors and data acquisition Provided input for model development and simulation analysis Strong Matlab skills and is proficient with office software and computer-based productivity tools Familiarity with electronics and systems related to image collection and analysis Has developed systems test plans, procedures, and reports and reviewed and interpreted specifications Writing Systems Safety protocols and ensuring personnel safety during field testing Other Qualifications & Desired Competencies
Advanced degree is preferred Taking a product from concept to production with contract manufacturers is a plus Exposure to Guidance Navigation and Control Systems along with Modeling Simulation & Control and Model-Based Systems Engineering is helpful but not required Knowledge of Simulink, Ansys and SolidWorks preferred Possesses an interest in creating Architectures using Model Based Engineering tools Able to excel in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment, where small teams share a broad variety of duties Displays strong initiative and drive to accomplish goals and meet company objectives Takes ownership and responsibility for current and past work products Is committed to learning from mistakes and driven to improve and enhance performance of oneself, others, and the company Has effective problem-solving, analytical, interpersonal and communication skills Consistently demonstrates teamwork, collaboration and puts the success of the team above one\'s own interests Physical Demands
