About The Position

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.

Requirements

• 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.

Nice To Haves

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
