About The Position

At SyberJet, we are redefining the speed of business by building advanced planes. The company fosters a culture of continuous evolution, innovation, and autonomy, allowing employees to design, build, and contribute to the future of aviation. This role involves owning and configuring the requirements management (ALM) environment to ensure end-to-end traceability, configuration control, and verification evidence in compliance with DO-178C, DO-254, and ARP4754A for FAA certification. The Lead Requirements Engineer will provide direction and training to the engineering organization, work directly with PLM, certification, systems engineering, and mechanical engineering teams, and manage the creation and deployment of project and product configurations across multiple programs.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
8+ years of experience in requirements engineering, systems engineering, or ALM tool administration in a regulated environment
Experience building end-to-end traceability structures and verification evidence that satisfy certification and audit requirements
Experience developing training materials and delivering technical training to engineering teams
Strong understanding of configuration control, baseline management, and change management processes
Familiarity with requirements management tools (e.g., Polarion, JAMA, DOORS)
Proficiency with ALM platform customization, workflow configuration, and process automation (JavaScript, Velocity templates, REST API)
Experience with Siemens Polarion administration (server setup, workflow configuration, custom fields, project deployment)
Knowledge of structured requirements methodologies (e.g., INCOSE Guide to Writing Requirements or equivalent)
Experience with digital thread architecture and toolchain integration across ALM, PLM, MBSE, software, and test environments
Experience integrating ALM tools with CI/CD pipelines, test management, and version control systems
Strong analytical and systems-thinking mindset
Effective communication and technical documentation skills
Ability to deliver on schedule in a fast-paced environment
Commitment to safety, quality, and regulatory compliance

Nice To Haves

INCOSE CSEP, ASEP, or equivalent systems engineering certification

Responsibilities

Set up, configure, and maintain the ALM environment including workflows, work item types, custom fields, templates, and process governance
Manage the creation and deployment of project and product configurations across multiple programs, ensuring audit-ready data structures and consistent traceability reporting
Work with PLM and certification teams to ensure the ALM setup complies with DO-178C, DO-254, ARP-4754A, and other applicable aviation standards
Build and maintain end-to-end traceability from stakeholder needs through requirements, design, implementation, and verification evidence to support FAA certification
Provide direction and training to the organization on requirements engineering practices, configuration control, and effective use of ALM tooling
Collaborate with systems engineering and mechanical engineering teams to capture, trace, and verify requirements across disciplines
Configure and maintain integrations between the ALM platform and connected engineering tools (PLM, MBSE, software repositories, test systems) using REST APIs, OSLC, and ReqIF
Build dashboards, reports, and metrics so leadership can see real-time requirements status, verification progress, and program health
