Systems Engineer

• Develop and document high-level requirements for new or proposed projects, translating stakeholder needs into technical specifications
• Facilitate expansion of high-level requirements into traceable lower-level Systems, Structures, and Components (SSCs) requirements with clear parent-child relationships
• Implement and maintain requirements in systems integration tools (Visure, DOORS, DOORS Next Gen)
• Establish and enforce requirements quality standards including measurability, testability, traceability, and completeness

• Conduct systematic requirements reviews to ensure clarity of acceptance criteria and verification methods
• Lead or facilitate requirements reviews to develop baselines and implement design control
• Evaluate supplier technical responses and design verification records for requirement compliance
• Identify requirement gaps, conflicts, and traceability issues before they impact downstream activities
• Review requirements for proper specification of quantitative parameters, units, tolerances, and performance thresholds

• Define and document interfaces between systems, ensuring both sides of each interface specify performance parameters (flow rates, pressures, temperatures, data protocols, etc.)

• Coordinate interface requirements across facility systems (electrical, mechanical, controls, safety, etc.)
• Maintain interface control documentation and facilitate resolution of interface conflicts

• Write and critically review technical documents (Design Interface Requirements, Engineering Design Specifications, Design Verification Records)
• Ensure requirements include appropriate verification methods (test, analysis, inspection, demonstration)
• Document requirements changes through formal change control processes
• Prepare requirements summaries and technical presentations for management and stakeholders

• Support project leads in translating operational needs and safety requirements into equipment design specifications
• Review equipment designs for compliance, identifying deviations requiring resolution
• Facilitate design reviews
• Coordinate with quality assurance to ensure traceability through design, fabrication, and testing

• Support project leads in risk identification, monitoring, and documentation
• Assist in developing cost models for proposed projects based on requirements scope
• Identify requirements driven cost impacts and facilitate trade off analyses

• Develop and maintain systems engineering standards, templates, and best practices
• Train engineers on requirements quality principles and systems integration tools
• Implement model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approaches on projects from concept through detailed design

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or STEM discipline from U.S.-based ABET-accredited university with minimum 3 years relevant experience, OR
• Master's degree with 1-2 years of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) experience
• Demonstrated experience developing technical requirements for hardware systems (mechanical, electrical, controls, instrumentation)
• Strong technical writing skills with ability to translate complex concepts into clear, testable requirements
• Experience identifying and resolving requirements quality issues including ambiguity, incompleteness, and conflicts
• Ability to read and understand engineering drawings, P&IDs, electrical schematics, and control system documentation
• Proficiency in written and oral technical communication and presentation

• Understanding of requirements hierarchy and flow-down (functional → performance → design)
• Knowledge of verification methods and their application
• Familiarity with interface management principles
• Experience with requirements traceability and configuration management

• Background in hardware based industry with strict workflow and quality assurance standards (nuclear, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, or similar)
• Experience working with suppliers/vendors to define technical specifications and evaluate design responses

• Familiarity with NQA-1, ISO 9001, or equivalent quality control systems
• Understanding of design control principles and formal change management

• U.S. Citizenship required
• Ability to obtain and maintain U.S. security clearance preferred

• Experience using systems integration software (DOORS, Visure, GENESYS, or similar requirements management tools)
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) certification
• Experience with design verification and validation processes (FAT, SAT, commissioning)
• Knowledge of hazardous area classifications, safety instrumented systems, or explosion prevention systems
• Experience in regulated industries requiring formaal requirements management (nuclear, aerospace, FDA regulated)
• Background in process equipment, manufacturing systems, or production facility design
• Experience with risk management methodologies and risk tracking
• Experience with cost estimation and project financial planning
• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (ASME, NFPA, OSHA, NEC, ISA)
