Software Systems Engineer

We are seeking a highly capable Systems Engineer with extensive experience in traditional systems engineering, specifically applied to software-intensive products. This role is crucial for ensuring disciplined requirements development, end-to-end traceability, and rigorous verification and validation across complex systems. The ideal candidate will employ a structured, methodical approach to systems engineering while utilizing Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices, with CAMEO as a core tool for system modeling and lifecycle management.

• Lead requirements development and decomposition from system-level concepts down to software component specifications.
• Establish and maintain bi-directional requirements traceability across system, software, and test artifacts.
• Develop and manage system models using CAMEO (MBSE) to support architecture definition, interfaces, and behavior modeling.
• Define and execute Verification & Validation (V&V) strategies, including test planning, procedures, and success criteria.
• Ensure alignment between requirements, architecture, and implementation across the development lifecycle.
• Support design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) with high-quality artifacts and clear technical rationale.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with software, hardware, and integration teams to ensure system coherence.
• Drive configuration control and change management for system artifacts.

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5 years of experience in systems engineering for software-centric or software-intensive systems.
• Demonstrated expertise in requirements decomposition and management.
• Experience with requirements traceability tools such as DOORS or equivalent.
• Strong experience in Verification & Validation (V&V) planning and execution.
• Hands-on experience with CAMEO or similar MBSE tools for modeling.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering lifecycle processes.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts.

• Experience implementing MBSE in production environments.
• Familiarity with agile or hybrid development methodologies for software delivery.
• Experience working on large-scale, complex, or mission-critical systems.
• Knowledge of interface control and integration challenges in distributed systems.
• Advanced degree in a relevant technical field.
