TL;DR · Specialist, Systems Engineering (System/Software)

Specialist, Systems Engineering (System/Software) joins the Maritime Power Systems team to design, build, and deliver safety-critical, cybersecure power solutions for military customers. This role involves managing all stages of the systems and software development life cycle, including capturing requirements, developing traceable documentation, and creating test plans for mission-critical power systems and switchgear. The position requires technical leadership in multi-disciplined environments to resolve complex issues and mentor junior engineers. Key responsibilities include developing subsystem architecture artifacts, performing trade-off analyses, and managing project schedules. Candidates must possess expertise in C programming, Assembly, and embedded software on ARM or DSP processors. Proficiency with tools like DOORS, JIRA, Visual Studio, and Python is required to support the development of high-reliability systems. The work focuses on solving technical challenges for naval shipbuilding programs involving power distribution and hardware integration.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and deliver safety-critical, cybersecure power solutions for military customers.
  • Manage all stages of the systems/software development life cycle (SDLC) including requirements, design, and testing.
  • Develop traceable contract documentation, customer specifications, and operator manuals based on system requirements.
  • Write and maintain software for embedded controllers using C, C++, or Assembly.
  • Create subsystem architecture artifacts such as block diagrams, functional allocations, and timing diagrams.
  • Generate test plans and procedures to ensure the validation of all system requirements.
  • Lead technical reviews, resolve complex engineering issues, and provide mentorship to junior engineers.
  • Develop and improve internal systems engineering design, validation, and qualification processes.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and 4 years of experience or a Master's degree and 2 years of experience in a relevant engineering field.
  • At least 2 years of experience with systems engineering principles including requirements writing, modeling, and verification testing.
  • At least 2 years of experience with C programming and familiarity with Assembly.
  • At least 2 years of experience writing systems and software test procedures.
  • At least 1 year of experience working with systems utilizing embedded software.
  • At least 1 year of experience reading PCB designs.
  • At least 1 year of experience working with standard system engineering processes such as MIL-STD-499, EIA-632, IEEE 1220, or ISO 15288.
  • U.S. citizens.
