Staff System Engineer, Integration & Verification

About the role

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior System Engineer - Integration & Verification based in United States. This is a senior systems engineering opportunity focused on integrating and verifying advanced autonomous flight systems in a safety-critical aerospace environment. You will own the development of test plans, procedures, and test cases that validate mission autonomy capabilities against system and subsystem requirements. The role combines hands-on integration and verification with requirements engineering, test facility assessment, and cross-functional technical leadership. You will work closely with software, hardware, safety, systems, and external engineering stakeholders to ensure testing is rigorous, traceable, and aligned with program schedules. The position offers significant ownership within a small, agile engineering environment where new product development and rapid iteration are central to the work. You will help advance autonomous aviation technology while maintaining a strong focus on safety, reliability, and certification readiness.

Responsibilities

• Develop Test Plans, Test Procedures, and Test Cases for the integration and verification of mission autonomy subsystems with the broader autonomous flight system.
• Produce detailed Test Reports and Problem Reports documenting verification results, findings, failures, and corrective actions.
• Establish and maintain traceability between system and subsystem requirements, test cases, and test procedures.
• Ensure test planning and verification deliverables are completed in alignment with program schedules and are ready to support each phase of system development.
• Assess test strategies and evaluate whether available test facilities, equipment, and capabilities adequately support planned subsystem verification activities.
• Review system and subsystem requirements from a testability perspective, identifying gaps, ambiguities, or inconsistencies and providing actionable feedback.
• Ensure test facilities are appropriately configured and compliant for formal integration and verification activities.
• Support the integration and verification of flight autonomy subsystems on the air vehicle platform.
• Contribute to systems engineering development plans, processes, and technical execution activities as needed.
• Coordinate systems engineering tasks across disciplines and help ensure technical deliverables are completed successfully and on schedule.
• Develop subsystem feature and function descriptions, subsystem-level requirements, test methods, and testing strategies.
• Support verification and validation activities, including
