6K8CI5-Systems Engineer 5 - 6G4-Sys Architecting Requirements & Interfaces

Position Overview:

The Senior Systems Engineer will support Systems IPT projects and initiatives critical to achieving 777-9 Amended Type Certification (ATC) and Entry Into Service (EIS). The role will lead and coordinate multi-discipline technical integration across organizations to manage system architecture, interfaces, and certification-related technical risks and opportunities. The engineer will be accountable for one or more projects and will provide technical, requirements-based leadership on issues that require cross-functional stakeholder alignment. The candidate will apply an interdisciplinary approach, develop trade space and integrate stakeholders from many systems engineering disciplines to ensure mission success.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Lead special projects and initiatives to progress systems maturity towards 777-9 type certification (ATC) and entry into service (EIS) including development and execution of integrated plans that balance technical, safety, cost, schedule and certification constraints.
• Define, decompose and maintain system requirements; lead requirements management activities, traceability, verification planning, and configuration control across system boundaries.
• Lead cross-functional teams to evaluate technical issues, integrate technical parameters, and assure compatibility of physical, functional and program interfaces across subsystems and supplier organizations.
• Lead analyses to optimize total system architecture, including affordability, safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, and certification considerations.
• Identify, quantify and manage technical risks, issues and opportunities across the systems design teams; lead development and implementation of technical risk mitigation
• Lead detailed technical investigations and verification activities to ensure system integration and regulatory/certification compliance; define remediation plans and drive closure with engineering, suppliers and certification authorities.
• Communicate routinely with internal and external stakeholders — including IPT peers, executive leadership, suppliers and regulators — to align technical strategy, status, tradeoffs and certification posture.
