Description:
This is a very exciting opportunity to work with one of the world's largest aerospace companies! The contracts are regularly extended, and direct opportunities are often available.
Job Description:
Applies an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design, develop and verify a lifecycle balanced system of systems and system solutions. Evaluates customer and /operational needs to define and coordinate system performance requirements, integrate technical parameters and assure compatibility of all physical, functional and program interfaces. Performs various analyses to optimize total system of systems and/or system architecture. Performs analyses for affordability, safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, human systems integration, survivability, vulnerability, susceptibility, system security, regulatory, certification, product assurance and other specialties quality factors into a preferred configuration to ensure mission success. Develops the planning, organization, implementation and monitoring of requirements management processes, tools, risk, issues, opportunity management and technology readiness assessment processes. Resolves cross-functional technical issues.
KEY SKILLS: MUST have MBSE experience (Model Based Systems Engineering) Must have airplane systems safety engineering design experience
Remote or local remote is acceptable, local is preferred if possible
US Citizen, US person, or other - US citizen
Need for travel periodic travel to sites may be necessary in support of meetings.
Details of the skills required:
3-5 required technical skills: Define concepts of operations (CONOPS) for various new proposed programs and refine existing CONOPS for existing programs Define top-level requirements for systems and systems-of-systems, as well as subsequent levels of requirements for subsystems and track defined requirements against testable and verifiable milestones as the program evolves Familiarity with Model-based Systems Engineering practices, including use case and behavioral diagram development Support the generation of safety related artifacts (FHAs, FTAs, FMEAs, FMECAs) per SAE ARP4761 and MIL-STD-882E (note: if these four are too much, we can strike the safety analysis item)
3-5 soft skills
Excellent written and spoken English communication skills Ability to work independently and with limited direction Team player and active contributor in meetings. Particular background - familiarity with aircraft design and development process and the broader FAA aircraft certification process is helpful, but not required. SW skills required - familiarity with model-based systems engineering (particularly Cameo) and IBM Rational DOORS.
Position summary: We are seeking an experienced System Engineers to contribute to the development of next-generation autonomous aircraft. Our contributions to the aerospace industry include the world-record breaking Orion aircraft, the first fully autonomous helicopter (AACUS), a flying taxi, and a solar aircraft (Odysseus). Our Systems Engineers help lead the design and development of our aircraft, including requirements definition, safety analyses, and certification processes. Systems Engineers may also support verification testing and flight testing activities for those aircraft and their subsystems. Our programs use employ a combination of both traditional and model-based systems engineering approaches as needed, matching the approach to the needs of the program.
Updated Skills from HM regarding Position:
Skilled in MBSE implementation right now so, individuals that have a track record of having implemented any number of types of MBSE elements before, preferably in the tool Cameo, in aerospace applications. The ideal candidate would have made multiple different types of artifacts (requirements models, behavioral/functional/sequence diagrams, use cases, etc.) in Cameo on reasonably complex aerospace design programs. They would be joining a team of other MBSE developers in this area that's already in place, so we aren't looking for leadership so much as someone to come in and be a strong implementer of MBSE.
