  • Develop and embed systems engineering processes that promote best practice, efficiency, and quality.
  • Manage documentation of system design, requirements, and test strategies, with a strong focus on integration testing.
  • Act as the bridge between stakeholders and engineering teams, communicating risks, issues, and progress.
  • Own technical problems, coordinate cross-functional solutions, and drive continual product improvement.
  • Partner with Product and Project Management to align deliverables and milestones.
  • Bring the customer's voice into development teams, ensuring new features meet real-world needs.

What you'll bring

  • Bachelor's or Master's in Systems, Mechatronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Science, or similar.
  • 2+ years' experience in systems engineering within complex product development.
  • Strong grasp of systems engineering frameworks, tools, and lifecycle principles.
  • Experience with requirements management for hardware/software systems.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively, taking ownership of deliverables.
  • Desirable: experience with AI-enabled systems, RF hardware/software, electronic warfare, or distributed systems.
  • Bonus: exposure to cybersecurity in systems engineering, Atlassian tools (Jira/Confluence).
  • A drive to excel in a high-empowerment, fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

This is a chance to work at the cutting edge of systems design, supporting technology that protects, detects, and defends.
