Summary The Systems Engineer serves as the requirements authority for engineering projects, working at the intersection of design, operations, safety, and quality assurance. You will be responsible for ensuring requirements are complete, measurable, traceable, and properly flow down through system hierarchies, from facility level functional needs through equipment level engineering specifications.
This position requires strong technical judgment to identify requirements quality issues, assess supplier responses for adequacy, and facilitate resolution of technical issues before they impact design, procurement, or operations.
Responsibilities Requirements Development & Management
Develop and document high‑level requirements for new or proposed projects, translating stakeholder needs into technical specifications
Facilitate expansion of high‑level requirements into traceable lower‑level Systems, Structures, and Components (SSCs) requirements with clear parent‑child relationships
Implement and maintain requirements in systems integration tools (Visure, DOORS, DOORS Next Gen)
Establish and enforce requirements quality standards including measurability, testability, traceability, and completeness
Requirements Review & Validation
Conduct systematic requirements reviews to ensure clarity of acceptance criteria and verification methods
Lead or facilitate requirements reviews to develop baselines and implement design control
Evaluate supplier technical responses and design verification records for requirement compliance
Identify requirement gaps, conflicts, and traceability issues before they impact downstream activities
Review requirements for proper specification of quantitative parameters, units, tolerances, and performance thresholds
Interface Management
Define and document interfaces between systems, ensuring both sides of each interface specify performance parameters (flow rates, pressures, temperatures, data protocols, etc.)
Coordinate interface requirements across facility systems (electrical, mechanical, controls, safety, etc.)
Maintain interface control documentation and facilitate resolution of interface conflicts
Technical Documentation
Write and critically review technical documents (Design Interface Requirements, Engineering Design Specifications, Design Verification Records)
Ensure requirements include appropriate verification methods (test, analysis, inspection, demonstration)
Document requirements changes through formal change control processes
Prepare requirements summaries and technical presentations for management and stakeholders
Design Integration Support
Support project leads in translating operational needs and safety requirements into equipment design specifications
Review equipment designs for compliance, identifying deviations requiring resolution
Facilitate design reviews
Coordinate with quality assurance to ensure traceability through design, fabrication, and testing
Risk & Cost Management
Support project leads in risk identification, monitoring, and documentation
Assist in developing cost models for proposed projects based on requirements scope
Identify requirements driven cost impacts and facilitate trade‑off analyses
Process Improvement
Develop and maintain systems engineering standards, templates, and best practices
Train engineers on requirements quality principles and systems integration tools
Implement model‑based systems engineering (MBSE) approaches on projects from concept through detailed design
Technical Skills
Demonstrated experience developing technical requirements for hardware systems (mechanical, electrical, controls, instrumentation)Strong technical writing skills with ability to translate complex concepts into clear, testable requirements
Experience identifying and resolving requirements quality issues including ambiguity, incompleteness, and conflicts
Ability to read and understand engineering drawings, P&IDs, electrical schematics, and control system documentation
Proficiency in written and oral technical communication and presentation
Systems Engineering Knowledge
Understanding of requirements hierarchy and flow‑down (functional → performance → design)
Knowledge of verification methods and their application
Familiarity with interface management principles
Experience with requirements traceability and configuration management
Industry Experience
Background in hardware‑based industry with strict workflow and quality assurance standards (nuclear, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, or similar)
Experience working with suppliers/vendors to define technical specifications and evaluate design responses
Regulatory & Quality
Familiarity with NQA‑1, ISO 9001, or equivalent quality control systems
Understanding of design control principles and formal change management
Education & Experience
Bachelor's degree in engineering or STEM discipline from U.S.-based ABET‑accredited university with minimum 3 years relevant experience, OR
Master's degree with 1‑2 years of model‑based systems engineering (MBSE) experience
U.S. Citizenship required
Ability to obtain and maintain U.S. security clearance preferred
Preferred Qualifications
Experience using systems integration software (DOORS, Visure, GENESYS, or similar requirements management tools)
Professional Engineer (PE) license or Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) certification
Experience with design verification and validation processes (FAT, SAT, commissioning)
Knowledge of hazardous area classifications, safety instrumented systems, or explosion prevention systems
Experience in regulated industries requiring formal requirements management (nuclear, aerospace, FDA regulated)
Background in process equipment, manufacturing systems, or production facility design
Experience with risk management methodologies and risk tracking
Experience with cost estimation and project financial planning
Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (ASME, NFPA, OSHA, NEC, ISA)
Benefits All eligible employees enjoy an excellent benefits package, including medical/dental/vision insurance, short/long‑term disability, life insurance, 401(k), paid time off including holidays, and tuition reimbursement.
