About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the end-to-end systems engineering lifecycle for our payload and RF product line, from the capture of operational requirements through final system-level verification.
Serve as the technical lead for standing up and maintaining the company’s configuration management process, ensuring disciplined control of system baselines across all customer programs.
Elicit, document, and manage operational concepts (CONOPS) and mission-level requirements in collaboration with customers and program managers.
Derive system-level technical requirements from operational needs; allocate requirements to subsystems, software, and hardware components.
Develop and maintain system architecture documentation including Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Functional Baseline (FBL), and Allocated Baseline (ABL).
Lead system design reviews (SRR, SDR, PDR, CDR) and ensure requirements traceability is maintained throughout the design process.
Author and execute component- and system-level Verification & Validation (V&V) plans, test procedures, and test reports.
Define acceptance criteria and lead Integration, Test & Evaluation (IT&E) activities across hardware and software subsystems.
Conduct subsystem qualification and system acceptance testing; document and resolve discrepancies through formal non-conformance and corrective action processes.
Lead the establishment of the Solopulse Configuration Management (CM) process, including CM plan development, tool selection, and process implementation across the product lifecycle.
Maintain and publish System Configuration Documents (SCDs), Interface Control Documents, and engineering change documentation for all active customer configurations.
Collaborate with embedded software, FPGA, and hardware engineering teams to resolve integration issues and validate system-level performance against requirements.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical discipline.
7+ years of systems engineering experience on defense or aerospace programs, including direct application of the systems engineering V process from requirements capture through system-level V&V.
Demonstrated experience authoring and managing systems engineering artifacts: ConOps, SRD/SRS, ICDs, V&V plans, RVTMs, and test reports.
Hands-on experience leading or directly supporting the establishment or operation of a formal Configuration Management process, including CCB participation and baseline management.
Working knowledge of hardware and software development processes and the integration challenges that arise at their interface.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to clearly present technical content to both engineering teams and program leadership.
Active DoD Secret or Top Secret / SCI clearance.
Experience with RF systems engineering, including RF link budgets, antenna design trades, signal chain analysis, and RF payload integration.
Background in Electronic Warfare (EW) systems – including threat warning, jamming, or SIGINT/ELINT payloads – and familiarity with applicable EW test & evaluation methodologies.
Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and practices (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler, SysML).
Experience with CM toolsets such as Windchill, DOORS, Jira, or equivalent PDM/PLM platforms.
Familiarity with MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-1553, or other applicable defense standards.
Experience working on small, fast-moving product teams where individual contributors own broad scopes of technical work.
