Principal Engineer - Systems Engineering

Worker Type

Regular

The Principal Engineer - Systems Engineering works with our Design team to develop a missile system for defense applications. This position will interact with the other engineering disciplines as well as suppliers to allocate/develop/evaluate requirements as well as maintain development schedules. These development efforts will generally be small focused design teams, which will require engineers to use a range of skills and tools across traditional engineering, computer science, and mathematical disciplines.

Because of the nature of the development efforts, the engineer will need to work on a variety of stages of development including requirements definition, concept design, prototyping, detailed design, validation and verification testing.
