Job Description
Systems Engineer to support our Systems Engineering department. As a member of the Systems Engineering department you’ll get to to lead cross‑functional teams, manage configuration baselines and ensure successful transition of hardware‑software systems to production. This position will serve on-site at Woodland Hills, CA.
Responsibilities
Be responsible for the technical baseline development by capturing, analyzing, and finalizing the functional and performance requirements baseline; maintain full traceability in DOORS and confirm verifiability ahead of the Critical Design Review (CDR).
Develop functional and physical system architectures, conduct trade‑off studies, and select optimal solutions that advance system maturity toward production readiness.
Organize and lead internal design‑review meetings; facilitate external CDR sessions with customers, suppliers, certification bodies and other partners, collecting feedback, documenting decisions and driving corrective actions to closure.
Collaborate with integration and test teams on schedules, maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and create comprehensive test verification matrices that cover hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) and software‑in‑the‑loop (SIL) scenarios.
Lead verification execution, analyze test and analysis results, resolve discrepancies and close verification loops to satisfy CDR baseline requirements and subsequent system qualification.
Manage baseline configuration items, enforce version control and conduct impact analyses for changes throughout system verification and validation.
Author and maintain critical CDR artifacts—System Requirements Document, ICD, Design Description, Test Plans, Risk Register—and produce regular status reports and executive‑level presentations on CDR and verification readiness, risks and mitigation strategies.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers; actively participate in cross‑functional teams to ensure alignment with program objectives and promote knowledge sharing across mechanical, electrical and software disciplines.
Drive continuous improvement by identifying process inefficiencies, proposing updates to configuration‑management practices and contributing to lessons‑learned documentation for future programs.
Basic Qualifications for SEA Systems Engineer
Demonstrated systems‑engineering experience, preferably in aerospace or defense.
