- Develop specifications of the system and lower-level subsystems to the point that the development team can design to specification.
- Develop Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
- Develop architectural design in consultation with design authorities at various levels of the system and capture in design descriptions, specifications, and layout drawings.
- Work closely with specialists in a multidisciplinary team.
- Technical management (of multidisciplinary) including performance trade-offs and managing the development team and technical outputs as well as functional areas (i.e. environmental, EMC, aerodynamics, simulations, guidance and control, software, etc.).
- Coordinate with logistics/product support development and safety to ensure that specialist engineering capability fields such as reliability, maintainability, transportability, producibility, etc., are implemented in the design.
- Develop the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP).
- Support system qualification by ensuring that test results are documented in order to write compliance reports proving compliance of the design to the specification.
- Follow methodology to meet Quality Assurance requirements including test repeatability.
- Maintain a decision register documenting major decisions from trade-off studies.
- Coordinate and lead the technical Design Reviews in accordance with the Acquisition Process/Systems Engineering Phases including System Requirements Review (SRR), System Design Review (SDR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), and Critical Design Review (CDR) and coordinate with all engineering disciplines and design authorities to present at these reviews for compliance to the review checklist.
- Coordinate and lead Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs) ahead of important ground tests (airframe structural test, GVT, etc.) in coordination with engineering disciplines and design authorities and ahead of flight tests in coordination with the Flight Test department.
- Hold Configuration Control Board (CCB)/Project Configuration Management Boards (PCMBs) with design authorities, CM, QA, and safety to process Engineering Change Proposal/Notice/Requests (ECPs/ECNs/ECRs).
- Participate in Material Review Boards (MRBs).
- Generate technical work packages, reports, and presentations as required to support the PM in preparation for PMRs.
Qualifications:
- Engineering degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, or Software Engineering.
- Minimum 10 years working experience in a high-tech environment, preferably 15 years in aerospace.
- Minimum 5 years (preferably 10 years) working experience as a systems engineer.
- Previous working experience within the aeronautics engineering environment is preferable.
ADASI is an equal-opportunity employer and is committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
