Key job responsibilities
- Evaluate, develop, and deliver solutions for the lifecycle of complex interdisciplinary system design problems for which the technical strategy is frequently not defined
- Derive requirements for system efficiency, operational excellence, and user experience.
- Lead design and system engineers to perform verification and validation of certification requirements.
- Generate technical artifacts that ensure design completeness and improve system traceability.
- Lead design meetings to plan development and review peer designs.
- Test/verify new technologies to improve the customer experience.
- Mentor and educate other engineers on systems goals and constraints in relation to physical, interfaces, compliance, data management, and risk management.

A day in the life
You will be a technical leader on a cross-functional team of hardware and software developers, focusing on system-level integration and verification. You will help set and maintain the standard for system testing and verification, understanding and planning for the impact of team decisions on overall system architecture in team meetings, design reviews, and through written documents. You will lead architectural discussions, and strategic planning meetings.

You will use and develop CI/CD pipelines to automatically run your own unit tests, and hardware in the loop tests. You help deploy embedded software onto hardware targets and help debug issues that come along in RTL, hardware, or software. You will develop and document software sub-systems and components in Rust, you will coordinate with the team daily to make design decisions, resolve blockers, and review code.

You will guide system architecture development and trade studies for encryption devices, key management systems, FPGAs, and ASICs. You will generate artifacts for design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) as part of the government certification processes. You will work with various teams to establish requirements, develop verification methods, and ensure system specifications are met. You will use tools such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) or Systems Modeling Language (SysML) to create and maintain system documentation, including test procedures, requirements documentation, and verification matrices.

You will demonstrate a high standard, help prioritize development activities and educate others about systems engineering best practices and tools.
