Systems Engineer

About the role

The Systems Engineer plays a critical role in the development, integration, and coordination of systems-level engineering activities for Terrestrial Energy’s IMSR technology. This position applies systems engineering principles to support requirements management, interface coordination, system architecture development, and verification planning across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and manage system requirements for IMSR systems and subsystems in coordination with design engineering, safety, and licensing teams.
• Perform requirements decomposition, allocation, and traceability across system, subsystem, and component levels.
• Develop and maintain system descriptions, functional breakdowns, and system architecture documentation.
• Identify, document, and track system assumptions, constraints, and design decisions throughout the engineering lifecycle.
• Support configuration management activities and conduct change impact assessments from a systems perspective.
• Identify, assess, and track integration risks and dependencies across systems and subsystems.
• Develop and maintain requirements verification matrices linking requirements to verification methods.
• Define verification methods (analysis, inspection, test, demonstration) for system requirements in accordance with the V-model approach.
• Collaborate with Systems Engineering, Design Engineering, Safety, Licensing, and Project Management teams to ensure integrated system development.
• Participate in design reviews, technical assessments, and cross-functional working groups to provide systems engineering perspectives.
• Interface with engineers across multiple disciplines to coordinate system-level decisions and ensure alignment with project objectives.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of systems engineering tools, processes, and best practices.

Requirements

• Minimum of 4 years of engineering experience in design, analysis, or systems integration roles.
• Demonstrated experience applying systems engineering principles in multidisciplinary engineering projects.
• Experience with requirements management, interface control, or technical documentation in engineering environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities with the ability to think at the system level.
• Understanding of systems engineering lifecycle, methodologies, and interdisciplinary engineering principles.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Visio).
• Experience with or exposure to requirements management tools (e.g., Codebeamer, DOORS, Jama, Polarion, Innoslate) is preferred.
• Familiarity with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools or modeling tools (e.g., SysML) is an asset.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Master's degree is considered an asset.
