The Systems Engineer IV translates customer needs into verifiable requirements and practical solutions for space, aerospace, defense, and other high-reliability electronic products. The role supports programs from proposal through production and coordinates across engineering disciplines. It also helps shape new product concepts, specifications, verification approaches, and customer-facing technical content. RF/microwave experience is preferred but not required. • Manage system requirements through the product lifecycle, including traceability, change control, and coordination of requirement updates with program and engineering teams. • Develop system architectures and system-level documentation, including block diagrams, interfaces, and new or updated SCD specifications. • Review customer and system requirements to identify gaps, assumptions, technical risk, and areas that need clarification or additional analysis. • Work across electrical, RF, mechanical, software, test, manufacturing, quality, and program teams to keep the design aligned with system requirements. • Define verification and validation approaches and align each requirement to analysis, inspection, demonstration, or test, with added focus on difficult or higher-risk requirements. • Support SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and other technical reviews, including preparation of system-level material and closure of resulting actions. • Work directly with customers to clarify requirements, explain technical approaches, resolve system issues, and support key program decisions. • Support proposals, trade studies, feasibility assessments, early system concepts, and technical content used in customer presentations and marketing collateral. • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field. • Minimum eight (8) years of experience in aerospace/defense or high-reliability electronics. • OR (12) years of experience may be considered in lieu of a Bachelors Degree. • OR (6) years of experience may be considered w/ a Masters Degree. • OR (3) years of experience may be considered w/ a PhD. • Experience applying systems engineering principles to space, aerospace/defense, or other high-reliability electronic products. • Experience developing and managing technical requirements, system documentation, and verification activities. • Experience supporting proposals, customer requirements, or early-phase system architecture, with strong written and verbal communication skills. Preferred Qualifications: • Experience with spaceflight or space-based electronic systems; RF, microwave, communications, or defense electronics experience is a plus. • Familiarity with RF signal chains, amplifiers, frequency conversion, filtering, antennas, or related RF technologies. • Experience with requirements management tools such as IBM DOORS, Jama, or similar platforms. • Knowledge of space qualification, environmental testing, aerospace/defense design reviews, or applicable MIL-STD requirements.
