Systems Engineer - Mission Definition

Responsibilities

• In your role as a Mission Systems Engineer you will contribute to the development of prototypes and certifiable safety-critical flight systems in a dynamic start-up work environment
• Define and document mission-related aspects of future aircraft operation using insight from a pilot’s perspective
• Define and communicate strategies and plans for type certification and operational approval
• Develop training and support documents needed to deploy autonomous systems in an operational environment
• Support system architecture development and assess trade-off studies regarding performance, complexity, risk, and effort
• Capture system requirements and interfaces to drive avionics hardware and software development
• Perform operational safety assessments in support of experimental and production missions
• Provide engineering expertise in the design, development, test and validation of vehicle level functions and performances
• You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with other domains within Reliable Robotics and become involved in a broad task spectrum not limited to typical system engineering activities
• Basic Success Criteria
• Bachelor’s Degree of Science or Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or related discipline
• FAA-Certificated Pilot (Commercial, or Airline Transport) or Dispatcher with two or more years of operational experience under 14 CFR § 135, 14 CFR § 121 or Corporate Flight Operations
• Broad experience from 7+ years of designing various systems, integrations, and testing of complex safety-critical aerospace systems or equivalent technology
• Preferred Criteria
• Advanced Degree of Science or Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or related discipline
• Creative problem solver that can bring multiple disciplines together with the ability to assess risk and make design and development decisions based first principles without all available data
• Experience certifying flight critical systems, hardware, and software via ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-254, and DO-178C respectively
• This role is critical to us at Reliable Robotics, because it works to convert the real world challenges of piloting an aircraft into requirements for an aircraft system that flies itself.
