We are looking for Systems Engineer to own the full lifecycle of requirements and system-level design across our autonomous underwater platforms, from high-level mission needs down to testable, verifiable subsystem requirements.
What You'll Do- Derive and document system-level requirements from mission, programmatic, and customer needs, breaking them down from top-level capability statements to testable subsystem requirements.
- Develop and maintain system-level designs and architectures, including block diagrams that define system components, interfaces, and their interactions across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
- Define pass/fail criteria for products and systems, and partner with test engineering to design the test methods used to verify them.
- Own verification and validation (V&V) planning for programmatic and IRAD (Internal Research & Development) systems and capabilities, and work closely with test engineers to ensure test execution meets V&V plan objectives.
- Lead and participate in design reviews, providing systems-level input across mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines.
- Support integration of new hardware and software into existing platforms and infrastructure, ensuring subsystems interface correctly at the system level.
- Maintain systems documentation throughout the product lifecycle, including requirements traceability, design rationale, and test records.
- Identify system-level risks and technical gaps, and drive mitigation strategies in coordination with engineering leads.
- Monitor fielded and test systems for performance, troubleshoot issues, and support updates as systems mature from prototype to production.
What You Bring- Bachelor's degree in a technical engineering discipline (Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, Aerospace, Ocean Engineering, or related field).
- 5-8 years of experience in systems engineering, with demonstrated ownership of requirements derivation, system design, and V&V planning on complex, multi-disciplinary hardware/software products.
- Strong working knowledge of how mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems interact within a larger system.
- Familiarity with code/software sufficient to collaborate effectively with firmware and software engineering teams.
- Experience writing and decomposing requirements from top-level system needs down to component-level specifications.
- Familiarity with the Department of War Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) process.
- Experience with Agile systems engineering methodologies (e.g., Scrum).
- Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) a plus.
