Sierra Nevada Corporation
Overview
The ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area is a leader in ISR and aviation, and a prime integrator for manned and unmanned aircraft systems. Its end-to-end C4ISR capabilities include design, integration, test, certification, ground/flight training and complete logistics support. IAS tailors solutions to customer cost, performance, and schedule requirements and designs to exceed expectations with on-time and on-or-under-budget deliveries. SNC has led thoughtful and disruptive change in the aerospace and defense industry for the past 60 years and is applying this expertise to the U.S. Air Force’s Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) mission. The team aims to modernize and deliver the next-generation SAOC aircraft trusted to ensure continued critical command, control and communication during national emergencies. If you are passionate about building the airborne command post of the future, consider SNC for your next mission. Learn more about NC3 and SAOC here. Are you a Systems Engineer who is interested in one of the largest and most complex airborne systems ever built? Sierra Nevada Corporation is expanding in the Plano, TX area and is building our Systems Engineering capability from the ground up as part of an ambitious program to modernize the U.S. Air Force’s critical airborne command-and-control fleet. We need you! At SNC, you’ll work on cutting-edge aerospace and defense systems, owning full system lifecycle responsibilities (requirements, modeling, simulation, test, certification, sustainment, retirement) in collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams (mechanical, structures, electrical, RF). You’ll lead trade studies, simplify complexity, track and manage risk, and drive system integration in a fast-paced environment—not just maintain the status quo and generate powerpoint presentations. You’ll join one of the first hires in a brand new office and play a pivotal role in defining the technical culture, processes, and architecture that will scale long-term. If you’re ready to make your mark and jump-start your career, this is your chance to co-design both a program and an engineering organization. Responsibilities
Own full system lifecycle responsibilities (requirements, modeling, simulation, test, certification, sustainment, retirement) in collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams. Lead trade studies, manage risk, and drive system integration in a fast-paced environment. Define and manage system requirements, architecture, and verification/validation activities. Contribute to shaping technical culture, processes, and architecture within a new office and program. Qualifications You Must Have
Bachelor's of Science degree in Systems Engineering or related discipline and typically 10 or more years of relevant experience Higher education may substitute for relevant experience Demonstrated knowledge of engineering principles and practices Experience working in multi-disciplinary design and development teams Thorough understanding of requirements management, functional requirements parsing, derivation, and allocation; systems design, systems integration, technical risk identification and management strategies, and Verification and Validation (V&V) principles Qualifications We Prefer
Advanced experience with requirements management and system modelling tools, such as DOORS, Cameo, Jama, Rhapsody, NoMagic, MATLAB Knowledge of industry standard mechanical design principles, including MBSE Experience or certification in INCOSE standards Background in the Aerospace and Defense Industry Experience leading baseline definition and maturation in a complex development setting, including high impact trade studies Thorough understanding of establishing and tracking key Technical Performance Measurements (TPM) Additional Information
This posting will be open for application for a minimum of 5 days and may be extended based on business needs. SNC offers a generous benefit package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, 401(k) with 150% match up to 6%, life insurance, 3 weeks paid time off, tuition reimbursement, and more. Security and Equal Opportunity
