About the role

Systems Engineer to serve as the requirements management authority for production on the Maritime Heavy Metal programs, owning end-to-end lifecycle of systems requirements from customer specifications through verification planning and formal change control.

Responsibilities

  • - Requirements Management & Database Administration: Own and manage the requirements database within Arsenal OS, ensuring every requirement is clear, correct, verifiable, and carries a unique identifier. Serve as the administrative authority over the requirements management tool, establishing and enforcing standards for requirement authoring, structure, and metadata.
  • - Requirements Traceability: Maintain full bidirectional traceability of requirements from top-level customer specifications down to the lowest-level component specifications. Ensure parent-child relationships, derived requirements, and interface requirements are documented, linked, and auditable at all times.
  • - Verification Planning: Define and document the verification method (test, analysis, inspection, or demonstration) for every requirement in a Verification Cross-Reference Matrix (VCRM). Ensure plans are executable and aligned with program milestones.
  • - Change Management & Baseline Control: Manage changes to the requirements baseline through formal change management; evaluate impact and present dispositions to change control boards.
  • - Specification Authorship & Release: Approve content and release of system and subsystem requirements specifications for Maritime Heavy Metal programs; ensure configuration-controlled and standards-compliant documents.
  • - Technical Representation: Represent the requirements discipline in technical reviews, change control boards, and program forums; provide status on maturity, verification closure, and risks.
  • - Procedures & Process Development: Approve Maritime Heavy Metal–specific procedures; drive continuous improvement in requirements engineering processes and tooling.
  • - Cross-Functional Interface: Connect design, test and evaluation, manufacturing, quality, and program management to ensure requirements flow into design models, test plans, acceptance criteria, and production work instructions.

Qualifications

  • - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical discipline.
  • - 4+ years (Mid) or 7+ years (Senior) of demonstrated experience in systems engineering, requirements management, or verification and validation on complex hardware programs (aerospace, defense, marine/subsea, or space systems).
  • - Proficiency with requirements management tools and methodologies (e.g., DOORS, Jama, Cameo, Teamcenter, or equivalent).
  • - Strong working knowledge of systems engineering lifecycle processes (requirements decomposition, interface definition, traceability analysis, formal change control).
  • - Experience developing and managing Verification Cross-Reference Matrices (VCRMs), Design Verification Plans & Reports (DVP&Rs), or equivalent verification documentation.
  • - Ability to manage full requirements lifecycle from front-end ingestion to verification closure.
  • - Understanding of hardware development environments and interplay between requirements, design, manufacturing, and test.
  • - Ability to manage competing priorities and interface with cross-functional teams to drive clarity in complex technical environments.
  • - Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
