Staff System Engineer, Integration & Verification

This is a senior systems engineering opportunity focused on integrating and verifying advanced autonomous flight systems in a safety-critical aerospace environment. You will own the development of test plans, procedures, and test cases that validate mission autonomy capabilities against system and subsystem requirements. The role combines hands-on integration and verification with requirements engineering, test facility assessment, and cross-functional technical leadership. You will work closely with software, hardware, safety, systems, and external engineering stakeholders to ensure testing is rigorous, traceable, and aligned with program schedules. The position offers significant ownership within a small, agile engineering environment where new product development and rapid iteration are central to the work. You will help advance autonomous aviation technology while maintaining a strong focus on safety, reliability, and certification readiness.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline; a master’s degree is preferred.
• 6–9 years of experience conducting systems engineering and integration and verification activities.
• Demonstrated experience integrating and testing flight control systems, ideally involving machine learning, autonomy, or advanced automated control capabilities.
• Strong experience developing integration and verification strategies, test plans, test procedures, and test cases for complex systems or subsystems.
• Experience troubleshooting integration and verification issues, identifying root causes, and driving appropriate resolution.
• Experience with requirements management tools, processes, traceability, and requirements validation and verification.
• Ability to develop and validate requirements for test facilities, system architecture, interfaces, and verification activities.
• Experience collaborating effectively across multiple engineering disciplines, including software, hardware, safety, systems, and related technical teams.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles and the ability to work across architecture, requirements, interfaces, testing, and verification activities.
• Experience working on experimental R&D or new product development involving safety-critical systems and the ability to maintain rigorous safety standards while operating in a fast-moving environment.
• Experience supporting FAA, EASA, or Department of Defense certification programs is preferred.
• Hands-on experience with avionics integration and verification using standards such as ARP4754A and RTCA DO-178B/C is highly desirable.
• Experience with automatic flight controls, flight management systems, display systems, software requirements, or software verification is a plus.
• Familiarity with FAA, EASA, or Department of Defense regulations and standards is beneficial.
• Working knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a plus.
• Familiarity with tools such as Simulink, Cameo, IADS, or Jama is desirable.
• Strong communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and technical documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of significant technical areas, and collaborate effectively in a small, agile engineering environment.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship; visa sponsorship and transfers are not available for this position.
