Collins Aerospace has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Systems Engineer to join our Electric Power Systems – Power Distribution product group. This role offers high responsibility within a fast‑paced, dynamic environment and strong cross‑collaboration with both software and hardware teams.

In this role, you will work closely with a geographically distributed team to define and develop optimal system architectures that balance technical performance with life‑cycle cost. You will be responsible for defining, maintaining, documenting, and testing system requirements for secondary power distribution products.

• Work collaboratively in a cross‑functional team environment, including local and remote team members, to support full life‑cycle development of electric power distribution systems, including planning, design, verification, certification, and qualification
• Develop and optimize electric power distribution system architectures that meet or exceed product development, performance, and life‑cycle cost requirements
• Define, manage, document, and maintain system requirements throughout the product lifecycle for secondary power distribution products
• Support certification activities in compliance with aerospace standards, with ARP
  4754 as a typical framework
• Confirm product design performance, capability, and reliability through hands‑on engineering testing in product test laboratories
• Collaborate closely with internal systems and software engineering teams to analyze system behavior and conduct engineering investigations on electronic products
• Support system integration activities and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to seamlessly integrate power distribution product designs into Chapter 24 aircraft electrical systems
• Participate in and present technical content at internal and external design and program review boards
• Engage with customers and program stakeholders to ensure system‑level solutions align with technical, operational, and certification requirements
