About The Role:We are looking for a
Systems Engineer to join our team and help architect, define, and mature our next-generation autonomous weapon platforms. In this role, you will turn high-level mission and product objectives into clear requirements, interfaces, verification plans, and technical decisions that guide development across hardware and software. You will work cross-functionally with design, controls, software, test, and operations teams to drive alignment, manage system-level tradeoffs, and ensure the overall system performs as intended. The ideal candidate is technically rigorous, highly collaborative, and excited to bring structure and clarity to complex, fast-moving engineering programs.
What You'll Do:- Own the full requirements management and verification process for complex autonomous systems, from requirement definition through verification closure.
- Translate program goals, customer needs, and technical constraints into clear, testable system and subsystem requirements.
- Define verification strategies, methods, and pass/fail criteria before testing begins, and ensure each requirement has an explicit path to closure.
- Drive requirement decomposition, traceability, and alignment across mechanical, electrical, software, controls, and operations teams.
- Work closely with test and design engineers to ensure verification activities produce usable evidence and defensible engineering conclusions.
- Identify gaps in requirements, verification coverage, and technical ownership early, and drive cross-functional resolution before they become program risks.
- Review test results, engineering analyses, and system behavior to determine whether requirements have been satisfied or need refinement.
- Help structure design reviews, verification reviews, and technical decision-making around clear evidence rather than informal status.
- Support system integration and issue triage by connecting observed behavior back to system requirements and expected behavior.
- Manage technical risks and conduct engineering trade studies.
- Develop Operations and Maintenance manuals to enforce continuous improvement and align requirements with design processes.
- Raise the bar on technical rigor by ensuring the team knows what must be proven, how it will be proven, and what evidence counts as success
What You'll Need:- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of experience in systems engineering, requirements management, verification planning, or multidisciplinary product development.
- Experience writing clear, testable technical requirements and defining practical verification approaches.
- Strong understanding of system integration across hardware and software, including the challenges of cross-functional technical ownership.
- Ability to evaluate test results, engineering analyses, and other technical evidence against requirement intent.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to align teams around clear technical expectations.
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment with incomplete information, changing priorities, and high ownership.
- Experience working across mechanical, electrical, software, and test teams to drive technical closure
You'll Stand Out:- Strong systems thinking with the ability to see where interfaces, assumptions, or missing requirements are likely to create downstream problems.
- A track record of turning ambiguous technical goals into structured requirements, verification plans, and closure criteria.
- Comfort pushing for clarity when ownership, pass/fail criteria, or verification evidence is vague.
- Prior experience qualifying defense, aerospace and/ or safety critical applications.
- Experience with requirements management in JAMA or DOORS.
- A bias toward technical rigor without becoming overly process-heavy.
- Good judgment about how much structure is needed to keep fast-moving engineering work aligned and accountable.
