The ideal Systems Engineer candidate has 5+ years of experience with high voltage and/or low voltage electrical power storage, generation, and distribution systems. The ideal candidate has a BS in electrical engineering or another relevant engineering discipline and is a systems engineering guru that understands the critical importance of a clear and unambiguous requirement set. The individual needs to have an in-depth understanding of SAE ARP4754 system development processes and ARP4761 safety assessment processes (or automotive industry equivalents) and needs to have a passion for those activities.

The candidate should be comfortable working with a cross-functional team of Certification Engineers, Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs), Design Engineers, Software Engineers, Electronic Hardware Engineers, Safety Engineers, and other Systems Engineers. The candidate should expect to contribute as a team member to establish, manage, and ensure compliance with the customer, regulatory, aircraft, system, and component-level requirements. The candidate should be able to provide critical design feedback as it relates to safety and requirements.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

• Architecting safe, new, and novel electrical power systems while applying ARP4754 system development processes
• Generation, management, validation, and verification of aircraft, system, and component requirements
• Performing hands-on aircraft and system integration in support of development and certification testing
• Generating certification and qualification documentation (plans, procedures, test reports)
• Supporting ARP4761 safety analyses
• Supporting certification processes, generating technical positions, and presenting to both internal and external stakeholders, including DERs and regulatory authorities

Minimum qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience performing SAE ARP4754A, ARP4761, and other aerospace certification processes
• 3+ years of experience applying RTCA DO-160G environmental test procedures
• 3+ years of experience interfacing with DO-178C software development processes

Above and Beyond Qualifications:

• Experience with battery systems, high voltage, or power systems either in professional or personal projects
• Familiarity with industry safety standards for batteries (RTCA DO-311A, SAE J1772)
