About The Position

Systems Engineer III serves a critical role in development of Orion Space Solutions products and programs. This critical role is responsible for all aspects of systems design excellence at Orion Space Solutions, on complex spacecraft and payload products. You will be considered a systems engineering technical authority within OSS. You will translate high level product development strategies into system requirement specifications and work with other cross-functional teams to develop derived level design implementation requirements. You will establish and coordinate development of standards, practices, and procedures as related to the overall product development timeline. Participates in design reviews of components (hardware and software) to ensure applicability to the current system and traceability of requirements through compliance verification and validation. Reviews test plans/procedures and ensures they meet the objectives of the contractual requirements and participates in the testing process to validate requirements. Participate in and contribute to Risk Review and Configuration Control Boards. Act as the Systems Lead for a dedicated subsystem (Mechanical, Electrical, Software, etc.). Management of Interface Control Documentation, specifically payload-to-bus interfaces. You will organize, prepare and drive execution of customer-facing milestone design reviews: SRR, PDR, CDR.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or higher in a relevant engineering field plus 5-7 years, MS plus 3-5 years, or PhD plus 0-2 year of professional experience in systems engineering for high-reliability space & aerospace applications.
Extensive experience with systems engineering development methods on complex product architectures.
Experience supporting programs and products through all phases of development – from requirements derivation and development to sustainment.
Experience with aerospace requirements management tools (DOORS, Jama, or similar).
Ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance.

Nice To Haves

Experience developing and implementing architectures for variety of space and aerospace customers: DoW (national defense), NASA (civil space) and commercial customers.
