Specialist, Systems Engineering
About The Position
L3Harris is seeking a systems engineer to support development of a space-based Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) mission payload sensor system. The role performs broad systems engineering functions supporting payload design, development, integration, verification, and test. Multiple positions are available, with technical focus areas varying according to program needs and individual experience. Selected candidates will join a multidisciplinary engineering team and contribute to activities including data management and analysis, algorithm development, requirements management and verification, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), and payload test support. The position supports systems engineering across the payload lifecycle, from requirements and design through integration, verification, and test. It contributes to technical analyses, engineering documentation, technical reviews, issue resolution, and maintenance of the technical baseline. Eligibility to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance is required.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 4 years of prior relevant experience; or a graduate degree with a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, a minimum of 8 years of prior related experience.
- Experience in one or more systems engineering-related areas, such as requirements, verification, analysis, integration and test, technical documentation, or model-based engineering.
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with space-based EO/IR systems, remote sensing payloads, electro-optical systems, or related aerospace hardware.
- Experience with requirements management tools such as DOORS, DOORS Next, Jama, or similar.
- Experience with MBSE tools such as Cameo, MagicDraw, Capella, or similar.
- Experience with engineering or test data analysis, including scripting or analytical tools.
- Experience supporting algorithm development, modeling, simulation, or sensor data processing.
- Experience with payload integration and test or system verification activities.
- Experience working with interface documentation, verification matrices, or technical baselines.
- Active security clearance.
Responsibilities
- Support systems engineering activities for a space-based EO/IR mission payload system across development, integration, verification, and test phases.
- Contribute to development, decomposition, allocation, and maintenance of system and subsystem requirements.
- Support requirements traceability, verification planning, and verification closure activities.
- Assist with development and maintenance of systems engineering artifacts, including specifications, interface documentation, verification matrices, technical plans, and trade study documentation.
- Perform technical analyses supporting system design, performance evaluation, and mission compliance assessments.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams across optics, focal plane, electronics, software, mechanical, thermal, integration and test, and mission operations.
- Support technical issue resolution, risk identification, discrepancy tracking, and change impact assessments.
- Participate in system integration, test planning, test execution support, and post-test data review.
- Support program technical reviews and engineering lifecycle activities, including SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and related working groups.
- Contribute to maintenance of the technical baseline through disciplined documentation and configuration management practices.
