Principal Systems Integration Engineer

Epirus • Torrance, CA

68d • $161,847 - $192,176

About The Position

Epirus is a high-growth technology company dedicated to overcoming the asymmetric challenges inherent to the future of national security. Epirus' flagship product, Leonidas, is a software-defined system built using intelligent power management techniques which allow power-hungry systems to do more with less. The Systems Engineer – Development role is a multidisciplinary role, with significant breadth (interacting with all engineering disciplines) and depth (from customer needs to unit-level specifications). The Systems Engineer – Development role will focus on typical Systems Engineering responsibilities, such as requirements definition & management (at system, subsystem, and component levels), system architecture, system analysis, change management, interface definition, etc. Additionally, in this role, the Systems Engineer – Development engineer is a key stakeholder in integration, verification, and validation (IV&V) planning and execution to ensure products meet requirements. As much as possible, a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach is employed to make Systems Engineering processes more thorough and efficient. As a fast-moving technology company, Systems Engineering at Epirus focuses on supporting the other engineering teams and facilitating rapid development, rather than focusing on overly bureaucratic processes.

Requirements

• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace, or similar field
• 8+ years of industry experience, preferably with experience spanning the entire product lifecycle (Concept to Delivery)
• Demonstrated experience establishing the technical baseline of a system/product
• Experience working with Systems Engineering tools for Requirements Management and Product Lifecycle Management (e.g. JAMA, Polarion, DOORS)
• Experience working with MBSE (e.g. SparxEA, Capella)
• Experience with Python development or other similar object-oriented languages
• Experience working with Git/GitHub, or similar version control systems
• Ability to identify gaps, prioritize in the context of the project/program, and lead an effort involving multiple engineers from other teams to resolve issues

Nice To Haves

• Experience working with RF systems (e.g. radar, comms, EW, etc.), preferably including phased arrays
• Good written and oral communication skills; not afraid to speak up, either to ask for help or disagree on a technical point that warrants more discussion
• Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization
• Ability to anticipate and communicate blockers, delays, and cost ballooning within the project before they require escalation
• Eager to train team members and help them overcome obstacles, resolve blockers, and complete work tasks
• Organized; comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
• Focused, with perspective on what matters most, rapidly delivering customer value

Responsibilities

• Own system requirements for a product, including requirement definition and maintenance
• Ensure Key Performance Parameters, as derived through mission modeling and operational analysis, are properly flowed to system requirements
• Act as key interface with either existing or prospective customers to prove customer requirements/needs are fully satisfied by system requirements
• Coordinate key requirements with subsystem design teams; ensuring requirement flow-down to hardware and software subsystems is captured and properly traced
• Collaborate with design engineering to establish the system architecture, capturing in MBSE diagrams (to include Structural and Behavioral Diagrams)
• Maintain architectural definition throughout the development process to ensure team alignment
• Develop interface control documentation and own interface management between hardware/software/firmware subsystems
• Perform trade studies and quick-turn impact analyses to facilitate agile hardware/software/firmware development
• Perform analysis to prove system requirements are addressed by the system design
• Ensure best practices for configuration management are adhered to
• Facilitate multi-discipline coordination across teams
• Participate in IV&V planning and preparation
• Contribute technical writing and figures to proposals and other business development efforts
