About The Position
Zeno Power is seeking a highly motivated Senior/Principal Systems Engineer to support the engineering efforts of developing and bringing to market Radioisotope Power System (RPS) technologies. This role will report to the Engineering Manager, Systems Engineering. In this role you will develop and manage system, subsystem, and component requirements. You will create and manage system artifacts such as Concepts of Operations (ConOps), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and additional design specification documents. You will develop, implement, and enforce design processes and tools to support system design work, to include tracking and managing design documentation, requirements, and open items. You will ensure sound Systems Engineering methodology is applied to the design of RPS systems, test equipment, tooling, and integrated systems. You will track requirements to closure through verification planning and execution. You will create integration and test plans to track hardware from procurement through acceptance. You will coordinate fabrication, integration, and testing teams while collaborating with Project Managers (PM) and maintaining clear communication with external subcontractors to advance project goals. You will engage with the Regulatory team to incorporate adherence to regulatory and code requirements through the design process and operations planning. You will assist Project Managers in schedule planning and technical activity development, as well as ensuring adherence to timelines. You will perform trade studies to objectively select concepts throughout the project lifecycle. You will align engineering and project personnel to identify and develop design information and specify system design and performance criteria.
