## Description

The Systems Engineer is responsible for leading systems engineering activities using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies across the product lifecycle. The role involves defining system requirements, developing system architectures, managing interfaces, conducting trade studies, and ensuring end-to-end traceability through digital engineering practices. The engineer collaborates with multidisciplinary teams to deliver complex systems that meet customer, regulatory, and business requirements., * Lead systems engineering activities from concept through verification and validation.

 * Develop and maintain system requirements, functional architectures, and physical architectures.
 * Perform requirements analysis, decomposition, allocation, and traceability.
 * Conduct system integration, verification, validation, and acceptance activities.
 * Support technical reviews including SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and PRR.
 * Develop and maintain MBSE models using SysML and industry-standard modeling tools.
 * Create behavior, structure, requirements, parametric, and interface models.
 * Establish model governance, standards, and best practices.
 * Maintain digital thread and digital continuity across engineering disciplines.
 * Support model-based verification and validation activities.
 * Define system architecture and interface specifications.
 * Perform trade studies and design analysis to support architecture decisions.
 * Evaluate technical risks and develop mitigation strategies.

Ensure architecture compliance with customer and regulatory requirements.
