Sr. Lead Systems Engineer-1

Sr. Lead Systems Engineer-1

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science (required) or Master of Science (preferred) in relevant Engineering discipline.
• A minimum of 5 – 10 years of experience in electronic systems leading EE PCBA design (schematic a layout) or embedded SW / FPGA / ASIC design.
• Experience leading cross-functional project teams and project engineering experience related to cost, schedule, risk management, and technical execution of product design and development including prototyping and manufacturing phases.
• Experience authoring, managing, deriving, and verifying requirements for complex electronics systems.
• Prefer direct user experience with a requirement management database such as: IBM Rational DOORS, JAMA Connect, Siemens Polarion, etc.
• A high degree of proficiency with Microsoft Tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project).
• Self-starting instincts and a strong sense of project ownership.
• Ability to work independently with a strong technical foundation while proactively identifying and resolving technical challenges.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate fluently with internal and external customers, serving as technical focal point for projects.
• Understanding of computer architecture and digital interface technologies.
• Ability to work onsite and be the primary POC during product testing campaigns.

Responsibilities

• Serve as lead responsible engineer and technical point of contact to customers on design, development, and production of space electronics.
• Provide effective project leadership to cross-functional and cross-site engineering teams for recurring production and development / qualification programs.
• Manage budget, schedule, risk, and technical execution for development and production projects for which you are responsible. Manage scope creep.
• Manage product requirements from internal and external customer stakeholders through product development evolution including deriving design and test requirements necessary to ensure product performance, functionality, reliability and manufacturability. Collaborate with designers to validate conceptual solutions through the performance of trade studies and analyses. Allocate product requirements to functional disciplines and coordinate the verification activities across the project team to ensure all product requirements are verified and properly documented.
• Support bid and proposal of new projects providing scope definitions, defining project schedules, assessing technical compliance, technical volume generation, and providing engineering cost estimates. Contribute to conceptual design and analysis discussions and efforts for spacecraft computing, power transfer, and command and data handling system electronics.
• Author and review engineering analyses and reports. Ensure project data deliverables meet customer specifications and are delivered on time.
• Assist in design verification testing and recurring production hardware testing. Read and understand printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) schematics. Use laboratory measurement equipment to diagnose and troubleshoot electronic failures down to the discrete component / integrated circuit level.

Preferred Qualifications

• Having experience designing or specifying space-based, radiation-hardened electronics is highly desired.
