About The Position

The Senior Systems Engineer develops and delivers quality solutions by working with stakeholders and cross-functional teams throughout the product lifecycle. The role translates business, regulatory, customer, and operational needs into product context, requirements, functional and logical designs, interfaces, engineering decisions, and verification and validation expectations. The position uses systems thinking and objective evidence to balance product outcomes, technical risk, quality, and delivery needs.

The engineer maintains authoritative product engineering baselines and assesses requirements, design alignment, verification coverage, evidence sufficiency, gaps, and residual technical risk to support readiness decisions. The role also mentors less-experienced engineers and improves engineering methods, tools, standards, templates, training, and reusable practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum of 3 years of relevant systems engineering experience applying engineering practices across product or system lifecycle activities such as context definition, requirements, design, integration, verification, and validation.
• Strong understanding of requirements development, allocation, decomposition, quality assessment, traceability, and lifecycle management.
• Knowledge of functional and logical design, system modeling, information flows, and interface management in complex technical environments.
• Experience with verification and validation planning, requirement coverage assessment, objective evidence, technical-risk evaluation, and readiness recommendations.
• Ability to facilitate structured trade studies, evaluate alternatives, analyze change impacts, and communicate evidence-based engineering recommendations.
• Strong problem-solving skills, including systems thinking, failure-mode analysis, root-cause analysis, troubleshooting, and resolution of ambiguous or complex technical issues.
• Familiarity with engineering documentation, quality practices, and tools such as IBM DOORS Next and Cameo.

Nice To Haves

• Certification as a Systems Engineer by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE).

Responsibilities

• Translate business, regulatory, customer, and operational needs into feasible, verifiable, traceable product requirements and acceptance expectations.
• Establish product context, boundaries, operational scenarios, assumptions, constraints, dependencies, and affected capabilities.
• Develop technology-independent product functional and logical designs defining expected behavior, functions, interactions, information flows, interfaces, and responsibility allocation.
• Define product verification and validation needs, methods, evidence expectations, coverage criteria, and technical-readiness inputs.
• Lead product-level engineering decision analysis and trade studies, documenting alternatives, evaluation criteria, evidence, assumptions, impacts, and technical risks.
• Perform product change and impact analysis across requirements, architecture, interfaces, data, processes, dependencies, verification evidence, and operations.
• Identify and manage technical risks, failure modes, and quality attributes, including security, reliability, resilience, maintainability, usability, performance, and supportability.
• Maintain product requirements, functional and logical models, interface definitions, traceability, decisions, and other authoritative engineering baselines.
• Assess requirements quality, design alignment, verification coverage, evidence sufficiency, unresolved gaps, and residual technical risk to support accountable readiness decisions.
• Mentor less-experienced engineers and improve engineering methods, tools, standards, templates, training, and reusable practices.
