Systems Architecture, Integration, and Test Engineer (Test & Verification)

Responsibilities

• Develop, own, and execute subsystem- and system-level verification and validation (V&V) plans to ensure designs meet functional, performance, autonomy, reliability, and safety requirements
• Define test objectives, configurations, procedures, and success criteria for subsystem and full-system integration tests
• Lead root cause analysis/failure investigation, and corrective action for issues found during R&D and qualification testing alongside the development, quality, and test teams
• Analyze test results to identify design issues, system interactions, or performance shortfalls; clearly communicate findings and recommended actions
• Lead acceptance test execution for engineering stakeholders with production
• Lead development of preventive maintenance plans for all product variants for engineering stakeholders with quality
• Partner with design engineers as a critical partner to identify risk as early as possible through tools such as Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Physics of Failure Methodologies, and analysis + test data reviews, then coordinate mitigation action plans to proactively lead the design reliability effort for the product or subsystem
• Develop and maintain internal data analysis and visualization tools to streamline test reporting and decision-making
• Collaborate closely with mission operations, design engineers, and other stakeholders to collect, analyze, and interpret in-field or post-deployment data, feeding results back into design iterations
• Lead development of top-down use cases, system architecture, and design reference missions for products alongside product architects and responsible engineers
• Define, document, and maintain system requirements (design criteria) using Jama and in-house developed tools/environments
• Work closely with engineering teams to ensure requirements are accurately interpreted and implemented
• Maintain up-to-date technical documentation for system requirements, testing requirements, verification and validation
• Clearly articulate technical information to stakeholders at all levels, ensuring alignment of objectives across engineering, software, and mission operations
• Participate in systems engineering activities including concept development, system design, integration, and testing
• Help drive the development of internal tools, guides, calculators, or similar via Palantir Foundry, Confluence, Excel, or similar
• Support the engineering design cycle process as a subject matter expert to ensure teams adhere to our hardware design best practices, and analysis best practices
