Company is building the next generation of force-multiplying aircraft, and we’re looking for enthusiastic systems engineers to join us on that journey. As part of our team you’ll work closely with other Phantom Works entities and industry partners to help design, integrate, and field architectures and vehicle designs to keep our country on the leading edge of defense technologies.
Join a multidisciplinary team where you’ll shape system requirements, guide integration and verification activities, and influence architecture that must meet operational needs. If you want to solve hard problems, accelerate innovation in autonomy and teaming, and contribute to a program that matters, then this is the place to make a measurable impact.
Position Responsibilities:
• Support/lead system architecture development and decomposition using MBSE (SysML/Cameo) to define interfaces, functions, and allocation across multiple domains
• Support/lead cross-functional engineering teams in developing systems to meet program commitments, including support of design reviews
• Support/lead the program in implementing MBSE as part of broad digital engineering ecosystem
• Support/lead Systems Engineering efforts such as requirements decomposition, system architecture, system analysis, specification development, trade studies, program planning, interfaces management, risk management, certification planning & execution, verification & test planning, and overall integration and capture them in the MBSE model as appropriate
This position is expected to be 100% on-site.
