Production Design, Verification & Validation Group at Draper is seeking a senior engineer with broad technical skills to work in a multidisciplinary environment to conceptualize, develop, analyze, and assess robust GN&C (Guidance, Navigation and Control) systems for a wide variety of applications, including defense systems. Program roles will usually be Systems Engineer and/or Integration and Test Engineer. Tasking will include participating in the development of high-fidelity system models, test development and planning, conducting analysis on systems packages, and evaluating sub-system performance integrated into high-level systems. Demonstrated experience integrating and testing complex hardware systems is required.

  • Able to take ownership of assignments and guide others as needed; successfully lead tasks while tracking priorities, scope, cost and schedule.
  • Derive plans, approaches, procedures for solving complex I&T problems across a program lifecycle, capturing all assumptions and adapting appropriately to changes in requirements with limited direction.
  • Independently contributes high quality content for technical reports and presentations which shows an understanding of their task and an awareness of the intended audience.
  • Demonstrates both confidence and success when presenting technical information during meetings with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Identify program/system-level technical risks and develop and execute mitigation strategies.
  • Actively mentor less experienced engineers and provide thoughtful, constructive feedback.
  • Performs other duties as assigned.
  • Experience evaluating high-precision inertial systems (e.g., gyroscopes and accelerometers), including understanding the device physics, associated errors models, analysis techniques, etc.
  • Experience in verification and validation planning and execution, including design of test or design of experiment methodologies; previous experience developing test programs and plans, and systems engineering documents.
  • Demonstrated experience in completing system design technical baseline activities i.e. SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.
  • Strong ability to lead small to medium-sized teams, collaborate, and present to stakeholders across internal and external functional boundaries.
  • Ability to effectively apply data analysis methods and data analytics tools to extract important information for utility.
  • The ability to work in a team and succeed with a process-oriented setting is critical, as is the ability to thoroughly document and communicate one’s work to a technical audience.
  • Experience working with system integration and system level testing.
  • Experience in Systems requirements development and traceability and/or verification and validation with DOORS.
  • Experience in developing Master Test Plans from development to production (DVT, Qualification and ATP).
  • Experience with environmental test or unique test cells for achieving system validation.
  • Experience with strategic weapon, DoD, space, GN&C, or inertial systems.
  • Experience integrating and testing complex hardware/software systems.
  • Familiarity with LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB.
  • Experience in functional system modeling and simulation development using MATLAB, Simulink, or other comparable tools.
  • Knowledge of digital signal processing, control theory, or mixed-signal hardware systems.
  • Workplace flexibility
  • Employee clubs ranging from photography to yoga
  • Health and finance workshops
  • Off site social events
  • Discounts to local museums and cultural activities
