You will be responsible for aligning cross-functional stakeholders around system and product integration plans, identifying and resolving technical and programmatic integration risks, and ensuring that interfaces, requirements, test objectives, and delivery plans are well understood and executed.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in a technical field such as nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or a related discipline.
5–10 years of experience in systems engineering and integration of complex hardware systems.
Proven experience working with Systems Engineering, Integration and Test, or SEIT-type teams in a cross-functional engineering environment.
Demonstrated ability to coordinate across diverse technical teams, including engineering, project management, procurement, manufacturing, suppliers, and test organizations.
Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to drive alignment across teams with competing priorities.
Experience supporting system integration activities in a highly regulated or technically complex industry.

Nice To Haves

Advanced degree in engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical field.

Experience with interface control drawings within CAD platforms (such as Solidworks, NX, etc.)
Familiarity with systems engineering standards, frameworks, or professional practices such as INCOSE.
Experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering principles, methods, or tools.
Experience working in highly regulated industries such as nuclear, aerospace, defense, medical devices, energy, or similar complex hardware environments.
Experience supporting integrated product teams, supplier integration, test readiness reviews, verification and validation planning, or complex hardware delivery programs.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain system and product integration plans, including integration sequencing, interface readiness, test objectives, risk areas, and cross-functional dependencies.
Drive alignment across systems engineering, hardware engineering, integration and test, project management, procurement, suppliers, and other stakeholders to support successful system integration.
Identify, track, and help resolve technical and programmatic integration risks, gaps, and blockers across complex hardware systems.
Support requirements flow down, interface management, verification planning, integration readiness reviews, and test readiness activities.
Coordinate integration-related inputs across design, procurement, manufacturing, assembly, test, and delivery schedules to ensure teams are working from a shared plan.
Communicate integration status, risks, decisions, and priorities clearly to technical teams, project leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders.
