Systems Engineer, Mission Systems

• Systems engineering across the full lifecycle (ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288) — requirements, architecture, interfaces, and V&V — on complex, multi-disciplinary systems.

• Mission-systems domain depth — you reason across sensors (radar, EO/IR, EW), tactical datalinks, mission computing, and effects in mission threads and the kill chain, not just as components.

• Requirements engineering to standard (29148), managed in a tool or register, with traceability that actually holds.

• Interface and ICD ownership, with MBSE (SysML) as a core part of how you work.

• Familiarity with avionics data bus and interface standards — MIL-STD-1553, MIL-STD-1760, ARINC 429, and

ARINC 664/AFDX — and how they shape mission-system integration.

• The judgement to sit between operator and engineer — translating mission intent into a verifiable architecture and defending it to both the customer and the threat.

• Operational or tactical background; aircrew, weapons and tactics, or operational analysis, or deep

exposure to how air combat systems are employed.

• Tactical datalink depth, particularly Link-16.

• Domain knowledge in radar, electronic warfare, EO/IR, communications, navigation, weapons, stores management, and mission management systems.

• Airworthiness and safety assurance experience (ARP4754A, functional hazard assessment).

• Familiarity with Canadian, US and European airworthiness standards and practices.

• Architecture frameworks (DNDAF, DODAF / NAF) and hands-on T&E or flight-test exposure.

• Knowledge of hardware and software development life cycles.

No defence background required.
