# Systems Engineer

- **Company:** ONE STOP COLLECTIBLE CORP
- **Location:** Hawthorne, CA, United States
- **Experience:** Experienced
- **Salary:** $130,000.0 - $150,000.0
- **Contract:** Internship / Graduate position
- **Skills:** Systems Engineering, Customer Data Management, Network Interface Controllers, Requirements Management, Jama (Software)
- **Published:** September 4, 2026
- **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/systems-engineer-salient-motion-9563607

## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or a closely related engineering discipline.
 * 2+ years of systems or product engineering experience. Meaningful university project work - competition teams, capstone programs, or complex multi-disciplinary collaborations - counts.
 * Demonstrated ability to understand how subsystems interact and how requirements flow from the system level down to hardware and software.
 * Strong written communication. Comfortable authoring clear, structured technical documents that others will rely on.
 * Able to manage multiple open threads simultaneously, track action items to closure, and keep stakeholders informed without being asked.

Nice to have:

 * Familiarity with requirements management tools (JAMA, DOORS, or equivalent).
 * Exposure to formal design review processes (PDR, CDR) in an aerospace, defense, or complex hardware context.
 * Coursework or project experience in systems engineering methodology (V-model, MBSE, functional decomposition).
 * Genuine interest in applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices - using structured modeling to capture architecture, behavior, and interface definitions for motion control and electromechanical systems. Hands-on MBSE experience is a plus; curiosity and willingness to develop these skills matter more.
 * Prior internship or co-op in aerospace, defense, or hardware product development.

## Description

* Author, maintain, and trace system-level requirements in JAMA. Coordinate with discipline leads to ensure downstream requirements are properly allocated and tracked to closure.
 * Develop and maintain systems engineering deliverables required for formal design reviews (PDR, CDR) and customer submittals - including interface control documents, system descriptions, and requirements verification matrices.
 * Maintain traceability between verification activities, test results, and requirements artifacts. Compile and organize evidence into customer data report packages and certification submittals.
 * Maintain and decompose lower-level work items in the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). Communicate status and flag risks to the SE Lead and program management.
 * Facilitate and document engineering working sessions, design reviews, and cross-functional syncs. Own action item tracking and follow-up.
 * Serve as a daily coordination point between systems, hardware, software, and mechanical engineering - translating requirements into actionable engineering inputs and surfacing integration risks early.
