## Description

As a Systems Engineer, you will design, develop, and integrate mission-critical engineering systems for the Aerospace industry. This role is central to our product development lifecycle-spanning from initial concept and product use definition to rigorous integration testing and formal design reviews. You will be responsible for ensuring our hardware and software systems are high-performing, safe, and fully certifiable.
Essential Job Functions

 * Develop and maintain robust requirements using ANPC's management processes for safety-critical systems. Evaluate customer and operational needs to define performance, functional, and regulatory requirements.
 * Perform comprehensive system safety assessments to determine safety assurance levels (DALs) and ensure all defined safety objectives are met.
 * Develop integrated software and hardware architectures. Lead system partitioning, define complex interfaces, and establish clear use cases.
 * Model and analyze overall system performance. Maintain rigorous top-down and bottom-up traceability from requirements through to final verification.
 * Perform design analysis for proof-of-concept validation. Develop, execute, and document system verification testing to ensure designs meet all functional and operational requirements.
 * Coordinate with multi-disciplinary engineering functions to allocate lower-level requirements and drive technical alignment.
 * Develop and optimize internal systems engineering processes and provide direct support for formal certification activities.
