SEA Systems Engineer 2

• Lead technical baseline development by capturing, analyzing, and finalizing functional and performance requirements; maintain full traceability in DOORS and ensure verifiability ahead of Critical Design Review (CDR)
• Develop functional and physical system architectures; perform trade-off studies and select optimal solutions to advance system maturity toward production readiness
• Organize and lead internal design reviews; facilitate external CDR sessions with customers, suppliers, and certification bodies, ensuring feedback is captured and actions are driven to closure
• Collaborate with integration and test teams to define schedules, maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and develop comprehensive test verification matrices covering HIL and SIL scenarios
• Lead verification activities including execution, analysis of results, discrepancy resolution, and closure to meet CDR baseline and system qualification requirements
• Manage configuration baselines, enforce version control, and perform impact analysis for engineering changes throughout verification and validation phases
• Author and maintain key system documentation including System Requirements Document (SRD), ICDs, design descriptions, test plans, and risk registers
• Prepare and present status reports and executive-level updates on CDR readiness, verification progress, risks, and mitigation strategies
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers; collaborate across mechanical, electrical, and software teams to ensure alignment with program goals
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives by identifying inefficiencies, enhancing configuration management practices, and contributing to lessons learned

• Demonstrated systems engineering experience, preferably in aerospace or defense
• Proficiency with tools such as DOORS, CAMEO, MATLAB, or similar systems engineering tools
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex data
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams
• High attention to detail with a focus on quality and reliability
• Ability to adapt in fast-paced, dynamic environments

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Understanding of inertial navigation systems and related products
• Experience executing major program milestones such as SRR, SFR, PDR, and CDR
