Systems Engineer III

About the role

Responsible for developing technical solutions to complex problems for Electromechanical Systems (EMS) aerospace and industrial products. Leads the design and development of systems that meet customer needs across the entire product lifecycle, driving all project and technical assignments to completion. This position supports the development of electromechanical sensing and actuation systems in active noise and vibration control, tactile feedback/steer-by-wire, and drive shaft torque sensing.

Provides execution and oversight of the entire project lifecycle, from architecture development and requirements management to system integration, testing, verification, maintenance, and diagnosis of fielded product returns. Leads a cross-functional team of safety, electrical, mechanical, and software professionals to ensure systems are functional, reliable, scalable, and secure. Additionally, the candidate will lead direct customer-facing interactions and solve challenges that extend the team's knowledge.

Responsibilities

• Leads programs from business proposal development through production launch, including early cost estimates, program and resource planning, risk planning and mitigation, coordinating validation and verification activities, and preparing final certification deliverables.
• Develops and owns system-level requirements with full traceability to customer requirements, driving effective system architectures/designs while supporting verifiability and proper configuration management using tools such as Doors, DNG, or JAMA.
• Develops and maintains artifacts at the system and product level, such as Systems Engineering Management Plan, Interface Control Document, Compliance Matrices, Verification Matrices, Trade Studies, System Verification, and System Summary.
• Supports development efforts to meet product cost targets.
• Develops system-level algorithms and control models using simulations to understand and validate complex electromechanical systems with tools such as MATLAB/Simulink.
• Drives team focus on developing and maintaining risk mitigation plans and executing planned activities to continuously reduce program risk throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Ensures timely and effective completion of all assigned team and individual goals.
• Supports growth opportunities for the electromechanical product line by generating new business through technical proposal responses and program-level customer interactions.
• Occasional business travel to support customer-facing meetings and industry events.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Computer/Software, or a closely related technical field.
• Five or more years of experience in systems development, test, and integration in a safety-critical industry.
• Experience leading at least one project as System or Technical Lead with a full product lifecycle completed.
• Working knowledge of tools such as MATLAB/Simulink for data analysis.
• Experience following Airborne Systems guidelines per ARP-4754 (or technical equivalent) and internal processes and procedures.
• Experience developing products for safety-critical regulated industries (aerospace, medical, automotive, etc.) following safety guidelines such as ARP4761 or ISO26262.
• Demonstrated ability to implement process improvements and identify best practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Graduate degree in Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Computer/Software, or a related technical field.
• Experience with embedded electronic, mechanical, and software control systems.
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering fundamentals and practical application.
• Experience with process-driven development.
