Requirements

ALL.SPACE is in search of a Principal Systems Engineer to be part of the Systems Engineering group for a 6-month contract. The position will report to and work closely with the Director of Systems Engineering. The selected individual is expected to work closely with product line management, technical experts across the various functional groups, internal engineering teams, suppliers, 3rd party partners and other key stakeholders to ensure the products are designed, implemented and delivered to meet all functional, business, operational, and regulatory requirements.

Who You Are:

You’re a technology geek. You read, examine and learn just in time aiming for exactly the right level of detail to enable deeply meaningful conversations with subject matter experts in various engineering disciplines. You moderate technical discussions, gain consensus, report results, define and drive a technical action plan. You’re a specialist on your own but also a technical mentor to a cross disciplinary team.

What You’ll Do:

The Principal Systems Engineer will:

• Gain an understanding of the ALL.SPACE terminal end-to-end system design and interfaces
• Identify how, based on the initial template product, multiple variants can be developed in a time-and resource saving way. Express this as a detailed Work Breakdown Structure and follow up the related development activities, supporting the Program Management Office.
• Take a leadership role (but no line-management duties) in the development process of specific sub-functionality, work packages or value-added
• Develop requirements, documentation, and traceability
• Draft system Concept of Operations (CONOPS) to incorporate new features and provide implementation guidelines to the various teams involved in the feature development at hand
• Manage Interface Control Documents (ICDs) at subsystem and system level
• Support System Integration and Test (SI&T) activities, including OTA demos and test campaigns
• Engage actively with partners, suppliers and customers for the definition, design, and verification of new systems

Education

• BS Degree in Electrical, Electronics, Communications, Microwave, or related engineering discipline
• MS, or Ph.D. in a relevant topic – desirable

Skills & Experience
