About The Position

The Space & Airborne (SAS) Center within Systems Engineering & Test Capabilities (SE&TC) is seeking experienced and talented Systems Engineers. The Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) SAS Department in El Segundo, CA supports troubleshooting, resolving system-level failures, and driving reliability improvements across radar hardware and software programs. The LCE System Engineers support depot integration of hardware and software, develop test plans and procedures, debug and evaluate system functions and interfaces, and verify system requirements in support of final sell-off to the customer. You'll be expected to collaborate across disciplines and partners to implement solutions and perform the following tasks: In addition to the tasks above, you will have the opportunity to develop/update the Concept of Operations (CONOPS), system requirements and manage qualification, verification, and validation. The LCE Department focuses on back-end sustainment and repair design and sustainment development as well as transitioning systems through integration and test from production to warranty/sustainment. You may also perform functional / physical analysis, allocation, and trade studies, including the use of large data sets and analytics tools to identify trends and support data-informed engineering decisions relating to failure investigations and root cause analysis. This position is an onsite role in El Segundo, California.
