About The Position

The Systems Engineer within the Systems Excellence Department contributes through all phases of the product development lifecycle (i.e. systems and software requirements, system architecture and design, software integration and test, simulation and test, integration and test, verification and sell-off), within an interdisciplinary process that ensures the customer and warfighters needs are satisfied through every stage. This commitment to excellence can sometimes include opportunities for travel, and flexible hours/shifts to ensure programmatic milestones are met. Our team of talented engineers collaborates across disciplines from initial concepts to product sell off, integrates complex technology, debugs, and resolves interface issues, evaluates system performance, demonstrates, and sells off state-of-the-art products. You will jump right into real avionics development that supports both commercial and military aircraft. Our team builds the display and control hardware that pilots rely on, and as a Systems Engineer you will work on both the software and hardware sides of that effort. You will help define requirements, participate in design reviews, work through integration issues, and spend time in the lab troubleshooting and validating system behavior. It is a very hands-on role where you will see how a complete system comes together, not just one small piece. You will work closely with a team that is supportive, collaborative, and excited to help new engineers grow.
