Systems Engineering -Co‑op - Onsite Summer/Fall

RTX•Jamestown, ND

6d•$37,000 - $82,000•Onsite

About The Position

This onsite Systems Engineering co-op at Collins Aerospace supports the development of cargo aircraft mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic systems. The co-op works closely with engineers on systems integration and testing, communications, networking and computing, or requirements decomposition and traceability. The role collaborates with engineers across disciplines and locations to develop cargo systems. The work includes technical trade studies; requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications; documentation review and updates; and testing recent engineering releases. The co-op analyzes and documents problem trouble reports found during testing, provides written and verbal progress updates to the concurrent engineering team, and suggests resolutions. The role works cross-functionally with customer teams, hardware and software designers, test engineers and technicians, supply chain, production and quality, field service engineers, the FAA, airline customers, and OEMs. The co-op provides exposure to the fundamentals of systems engineering for aviation programs and engineering development processes. The position is based primarily onsite in Jamestown, North Dakota, and requires U.S. Person status. No security clearance is required.
