Full Job Description
As a Model Based Staff Systems Engineer at ITI, you will be responsible for the system design and verification of advanced military electronics and computing products. You will apply systems engineering rigor in a fast-paced development cycle to deliver innovative, high-quality products. You will work with a team of software, mechanical, electrical, firmware, and qualification engineers - providing cross-functional technical leadership. You will work directly with business development and program management leadership teams, customers, and end users.
Responsibilities:
Implement Model Based Systems Engineering including workflow, tools, and processes.
Train and mentor other development team members in use of Model Based System Engineering.
Interface to customers -- understanding customer requirements and ensuring that they are met.
Create physical and functional block-diagrams.
Create Interface Control Documents.
From written customer requirements, derive internal requirements and allocate to mechanical, electrical, and software components.
Create and manage Requirements Verification Traceability Matrix.
Manage the submission of customer SDRLS and data items.
Write and submit SDRLS.
Review and approve SDRLS written by other engineers.
Review and approve engineering drawings.
Manage the product verification and validation processes.
Write integration and verification test plans.
Lead engineering team in DFMEA and FMECA.
Lead root-cause resolution of difficult cross-functional integration problems. Determine whether a failure originates in hardware, firmware, software, interfaces, configuration, mechanical/thermal design, EMC/EMI behavior, or system architecture-and drive it to closure.
Support proposals with technical documentation and Basis of Estimate (BOE).
Lead SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and other customer or internal reviews.
Provide strong technical design review of system components.
Define technical risks and work directly with engineering and company leadership to retire them through analysis, testing, prototyping, and design iteration.
Work closely with Qualification Engineering to define and execute environmental and EMC/EMI qualification strategies.
Travel up to 10%, including occasional international travel, for customer meetings, demonstrations, integration, testing, and technical support.
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related Engineering degree.
Typically, 10+ years of engineering experience with a strong knowledge of electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing disciplines.
Understanding of systems engineering tools and processes for requirements definition and verification tracking.
Experience and subject matter expertise in Model Based System Engineering.
A solid understanding of Model Based Systems Engineering tools and processes.
An ability to implement a Model Based Systems Engineering process from the ground up.
Understanding of electrical (PCBA), mechanical, and software design processes. Familiarity with FPGAs and microcontrollers preferred.
Experience with complex electronic systems. Experience in Avionics is preferred.
A record of technical ownership: when a difficult problem appears, you are comfortable getting close to the hardware and software, developing evidence, finding root cause, and helping implement the solution rather than only coordinating others.
Excellent technical writing and communication skills, including the ability to develop persuasive technical proposals and present complex solutions directly to customers.
Experience thorough the full product lifecycle - from requirements definition to high-volume production.
Understanding of AS9100 or similar Quality process. Experience with AS9145 is preferred.
Understanding of Mil-STD-810 or similar.
Understanding of MIL-STD-461 or similar.
Understanding safety processes. Experience with DO-178/DO-254 is preferred.
Self-motivated, highly adaptable, and effective in a fast-moving environment with multiple simultaneous programs and limited organizational overhead.
U.S. citizen and can obtain and maintain a DoD Secret Clearance.
U.S. Citizenship Requirement: This position requires U.S. citizenship in accordance with applicable government contract requirements.
This position is located at a facility that requires all selected candidates to be U.S. Citizens or lawful permanent residents (green card holders).
