Overview

The Systems Engineer will be responsible for executing and driving end-to-end systems engineering activities for aircraft interior products and solutions. The role involves requirements analysis, system architecture development, system design, interface management, integration, verification, and validation throughout the product development lifecycle. The individual will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, program management, quality, manufacturing, suppliers, and customers.

This role requires strong technical expertise in aerospace systems engineering, problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to independently own complex engineering activities while providing technical guidance to junior engineers.

What You Will Do

• Systems Engineering and Technical Execution
• Execute end-to-end systems engineering activities across the product development lifecycle.
• Analyze Aerospace regulations, customer and stakeholder requirements and translate them into system/sub-system/component level requirements and specifications.
• Perform requirements decomposition, allocation, traceability, and verification planning.
• Develop and maintain system architecture, functional architecture, and system design documentation.
• Identify system boundaries, interfaces, dependencies, and functional interactions.
• Perform system-level technical analysis and support design trade-off assessments.
• Prepare and review engineering documentation, technical reports, and design review presentations.
• Analyze aircraft installation requirements and system-level interface dependencies.
• Support development & integration of electrical, electronic, mechanical, and software components.
• Ensure engineering solutions meet applicable functional, performance, safety, reliability, and environmental requirements.
• Support bid & proposal activities analyzing Stakeholder requirements, current product offering and developing technical proposals
• Apply MBSE methodologies for system architecture development, functional modeling, and requirements analysis.
• Develop and maintain system models (MATLAB Simulink, SysML).
• Establish traceability between requirements, system architecture, interfaces, and verification artifacts.
• Support adoption of model-based engineering practices across product development activities.
• Support system-level testing, integration activities, and qualification programs.
• Aerospace Standards, Quality and Compliance
• Support compliance with applicable FAA/EASA requirements and aircraft certification processes.
• Demonstrate working knowledge of ARP4754A and ARP4761.
• Support product safety, reliability, configuration management, and engineering change control.
• Participate in technical reviews, design assurance activities, and engineering audits.
• Ensure engineering deliverables meet established quality standards.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration and Technical Support
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to achieve program objectives.
• Coordinate with program management on engineering deliverables, schedules, and technical risks.
• Participate in customer technical reviews and engineering discussions.
• Provide technical guidance and knowledge-sharing support to junior engineers.
• Identify engineering process improvements and contribute to technical standardization initiatives.
• Develop departmental policies and procedures for Systems Engineering related to programs/business units.

What You Will Learn

• Systems Engineering: Gain deeper expertise in executing the complete systems engineering lifecycle, from requirements analysis and system architecture development to integration, verification, validation, and certification of aircraft interiors systems.
• Aerospace Standards and Certification: Enhance your understanding of aerospace regulatory frameworks, aircraft certification processes, and industry standards.
• Technical Leadership: Develop the ability to independently drive engineering work packages, conduct technical assessments, evaluate design trade-offs, manage technical risks, and provide technical guidance to junior engineers.
• Engineering Excellence: Drive continuous improvement, establish engineering best practices, and contribute to the development and standardization of systems engineering processes across programs and business units.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 7–12 years of relevant experience in systems engineering, preferably in aerospace or aviation.
