• Work with hardware and software implementation teams across the company to establish a design and integration pattern
• Work with product, operations, and PMO teams to establish and maintain a harmonized V-Model development plan that supports both agile practices and waterfall practices
• Work with simulation and modeling teams to establish and maintain digital twin parity with text-based design collateral
• Collaborate with IT applications team to evaluate select systems engineering tools and create a roadmap for requirements, documentation, and modeling tools
• Work with quality systems teams to establish a complete map of change management forums and close any gaps between forums.
• Work with learning and development team to create training materials to scale all best practices to relevant training populations

• 8 years of engineering work experience
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles, standards, or frameworks (INCOSE Handbook, NASA Systems Engineering Handbook, ISO 29148, ISO 15288)
• Deep knowledge of DBSE, document-based systems engineering
• Deep experience with requirements and validation software (e.g. IBM DOORS, Siemens Polarion, Jama)
• Deep experience with design documentation software (e.g. Confluence, Google suite, Dessault suite, Autodesk suite)
• Deep experience with design version control software (e.g. Github, BOMs)
• Deep understanding of hardware development practices (Waterfall) and software development practices (Agile)
• Familiar with functional safety concepts and evidenced-based testing methodologies
• Ability to work in a fast-paced development environment and proactively collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to solve process problems, and demonstrate strong leadership skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Must be self-motivated, with a desire to continuously improve and learn

• Knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
• Experience working with modeling software (e.g. Cameo, MagicDraw, IBM Rhapsody, Simulink, SysML)
