Senior Systems Engineer

Job Responsibilities

• Perform system-level modeling, analysis, and trade studies across multiple physical domains, with emphasis on dynamic and transient behavior.
• Develop and evaluate integrated system architectures involving combinations of thermal, electrical, mechanical, controls, power conversion, and transmission elements.
• Analyze system interactions, interfaces, and performance margins to ensure components function together as a cohesive and reliable system.
• Build, adapt, and apply lumped-parameter, reduced-order, and multi-physics models to support design decisions, performance predictions, and risk reduction.
• Support the development of system concepts, operating philosophies, and functional behavior for complex power and energy systems.
• Perform engineering analyses related to system cycles, energy balances, heat transfer, fluid flow, control response, power distribution, and component interaction.
• Lead or support design studies involving integrated plant and subsystem performance, including normal operation, off-design conditions, and transient events.
• Define and assess system requirements derived from analysis, operational expectations, interfaces, and performance objectives.
• Support verification and validation planning by linking analytical methods, simulation results, and test approaches to system requirements.
• Collaborate with component, controls, electrical, mechanical, and test engineers to mature integrated solutions.
• Interface with internal subject matter experts, suppliers, and program stakeholders to coordinate technical inputs into coherent system designs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience for Level III consideration; additional experience and demonstrated technical breadth for Level IV consideration.
• Experience analyzing and modeling complex systems that span multiple disciplines such as thermal/fluid, electrical, controls, mechanical, or power systems.
• Demonstrated ability to perform first-principles engineering analysis and translate findings into practical system architecture or design recommendations.
• Experience with dynamic system modeling, transient analysis, or simulation of integrated physical systems.
• Working knowledge of energy conversion systems, power generation systems, fluid systems, thermal systems, electrical systems, or control systems.
• Ability to decompose complex technical problems, define analytical approaches, and communicate conclusions clearly to multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience supporting system integration, trade studies, or performance assessment for complex engineered products.
