Role Purpose

We are looking for a Senior Advanced System Engineer to own system definition, architecture, requirements, integration and verification for aerospace engine/APU products. The candidate will provide technical leadership across the product life cycle, drive MBSE adoption, and ensure system solutions meet customer, regulatory, safety, performance and program objectives.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead system engineering activities for Engines, APU, propulsion or aircraft power system programs from concept through qualification and service support.
• Develop and maintain system architecture, functional decomposition, interfaces, system models, requirements and verification strategy using MBSE practices.
• Create concept of operations, operational requirements, system specifications, interface definitions and derived requirements for new and existing platforms.
• Manage requirements elicitation, analysis, allocation, traceability, prioritization, change control and test mapping using tools such as DOORS, Jama, Polarion or equivalent.
• Lead system trade studies, performance assessments, Measures of Effectiveness, Measures of Performance and technical risk closure.
• Drive system integration, validation and verification planning, including review of test cases, bench analysis, qualification evidence and compliance artifacts.
• Coordinate technical reviews such as SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR and qualification readiness reviews with cross-functional and global engineering teams.
• Ensure alignment with aerospace development and safety practices, including ARP4754A/ARP4761, DO-160 and applicable customer or regulatory requirements.
• Mentor systems engineers, guide model quality, review technical deliverables and strengthen reusable MBSE assets and engineering standards.
• Support proposal inputs, effort estimation, cost-out ideas, field issue resolution and continuous improvement initiatives for cycle time, quality and competitiveness.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Aeronautical, Systems Engineering or a related engineering discipline. Master's degree preferred.
• Minimum 10+ years of total experience in the Aerospace industry, with significant hands-on systems engineering ownership.
• INCOSE CSEP certification is mandatory.
• Demonstrated proficiency in MBSE, including system modeling, architecture definition, requirements modeling, traceability and model reviews.
• Strong technical expertise in Engines, APU, propulsion systems, aircraft power systems or closely related aerospace mechanical systems.
• Practical knowledge of aerospace system development life cycle, integration, V&V, qualification and certification support activities.
• Working knowledge of relevant standards and practices such as ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-160, configuration management and functional audits.
• Experience with requirements management and modeling tools such as DOORS, Cameo, MagicDraw, Rhapsody, Enterprise Architect, Jama or equivalent.
• Ability to lead technical discussions independently with program teams, customers, suppliers and cross-discipline engineering stakeholders.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with SysML, digital thread implementation, product line architecture, safety analysis interfaces and model-based verification.
• Exposure to fuel systems, thermal systems, electric propulsion, connected aircraft, health monitoring or advanced aerospace power technologies.
• Ability to write clear technical documents, review engineering drawings, understand PLM workflows and support design for manufacturability/serviceability.
• Design for Six Sigma, structured problem solving, data-driven decision making and continuous improvement mindset.
