## Description

Job Title: Systems Engineer Job Description This Systems Engineer role focuses on generating clear, comprehensive process documentation across the core systems engineering lifecycle, including requirements, analysis, architecture, and verification and validation (V&V) and test.
You will help define and document how complex aerospace systems are conceived, developed, integrated, and verified, ensuring that systems engineering principles and practices are captured in a structured, repeatable way.
Responsibilities + Generate detailed process documentation covering the four key systems engineering areas: requirements, analysis, architecture, and verification and validation (V&V) and test. + Create structured process documentation drafts that clearly describe how systems engineering activities are performed and coordinated. + Perform verification and validation activities and accurately document the associated processes and outcomes. + Support requirements management by documenting how requirements are captured, analyzed, traced, and maintained throughout the project lifecycle. + Develop and maintain documentation related to concepts of operations (CONOPS), ensuring system behavior and operational scenarios are clearly defined. + Document interface control processes and create or update interface control documents (ICDs) that describe system and subsystem interactions. + Capture and formalize systems engineering principles and practices, including SEMP, V&V test processes,
requirements management, TPM, ICD development, architecture definition, MBSE practices, trace studies, and CONOPS. + Analyze how work is performed from a systems perspective within the aerospace environment and translate that understanding into clear, usable process documents. + Collaborate with engineering teams to understand existing workflows, tools, and methodologies and reflect them accurately in process documentation. + Use tools such as DOORS and Jama to support requirements and systems documentation activities.
