Description
We are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to own the “Left Side of the V” for a true System of Systems (SoS) architecture. You will partner directly with customer stakeholders and internal product teams to translate high-level operational desires into rigorous Concepts of Operations for multi-domain, System of Systems missions.
Your mission is not purely to design new platforms from a blank sheet of paper, but to force disparate, pre-existing or in-development assets to work together to operate at exactly the collision point between the customers high-level operational desires and the rigorous mathematical reality of software and hardware engineering KPPs.
As the architect of these system of systems, you will translate CONOPS into precise, verifiable Systems Requirements Documents (SRDs) and lead Systems Requirements Reviews (SRRs).
Key responsibilities include:
Partner directly with customer stakeholders and internal product teams to translate high-level operational desires into rigorous Concepts of Operations for multi-domain, System of Systems missions.
Lead the architectural design to integrate pre-existing, heterogenous hardware (legacy platforms, 3rd-party sensors, and Anduril products) into a cohesive, software-defined orchestration layer.
Author, own, and ruthlessly enforce Inteface Control Documents (ICDs).
Reverse-engineer operational constraints to author Systems Requirements Documents (SRDs) for both new platforms and existing assets.
Build and maintain the source-of-truth functional architecture.
Conduct complex, multi-system trade studies and analyses of alternatives to balance SWaP-C budgets against the required system capabilities.
Own and drive the engineering teams through critical upstream milestones, strictly owning the criteria and execution for System Requirements Reviews (SRRs), System Functional Reviews (SFRs) and Preliminary Design Reviews (PDRs).
Ability to travel as required for program support, proposal support, and stakeholder meetings.
Required qualifications include 8+ years of rigorous Systems Engineering experience, with heavy emphasis on Phase A/Phase B conceptual design, system architecture, and upstream requirements decomposition, as well as a proven track record of architecting solutions that integrate disparate, legacy, and third-party hardware/software into a single unified system.
