Role & Responsibilities :

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior System Engineer with strong expertise in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), aerospace standards, system architecture design, and complete product lifecycle management. The ideal candidate will lead system-level design, integration, testing, validation, and certification activities for advanced UAV and aerospace platforms. This role requires deep technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and strong problem-solving capability.

Key Responsibilities :

System Architecture & Design :

- Develop and manage system architecture, subsystem definitions, interfaces, and system-level specifications.

- Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies using tools like SysML, MATLAB/Simulink, Cameo, etc.

- Ensure compliance with MIL, Aerospace, and Industry Standards throughout design and development.

Requirements & Configuration Management :

- Lead requirements capture, flow-down, traceability, and validation using tools such as Jira, Confluence, DOORS, or similar.

- Manage requirement updates, change control, and system baselines.

Integration, Testing & Validation :

- Plan and execute system integration, functional testing, and validation activities for components and complete UAV systems.

- Define and maintain SOPs, test procedures, and validation frameworks.

- Participate in environmental, functional, and endurance testing of aerospace systems.

Product Life Cycle & Process Management :

- Lead end-to-end Product Life Cycle (PLC/PLM) from concept to manufacturing, deployment, support, and retirement.

- Work closely with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and certification teams.

RCA, CAPA & Quality Assurance :

- Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA), and quality assurance for system and component issues.

- Drive reliability improvements using structured problem-solving methodologies.

Documentation & Reporting :

- Prepare and maintain design documents, analysis reports, integration logs, V&V reports, risk assessments, and certification documentation.

- Ensure accurate data analysis, data tracking, and system performance reporting.

Compliance, Certification & Standards :

- Ensure adherence to relevant certification standards (MIL-STD, DO-178C/DO-254/DO-160, ISO, AS9100, etc.).

- Support regulatory and customer audits.

Technical Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration :

- Lead multi-disciplinary engineering teams in design reviews, technical discussions, and system decision-making.

- Collaborate with supply chain, vendors, manufacturing, software, electronics, avionics, and flight test teams.

- Provide mentorship and enforce high standards of technical discipline and engineering excellence.

UAV & Aerospace Systems Knowledge :

- Strong understanding of UAV and aircraft layouts, propulsion, avionics, communication modules, sensors, powertrain, ground systems, and payload integration.

- Support integration of new technologies, components, and subsystems into the UAV architecture.

Ideal Candidate :

- Strong System Engineering / MBSE Profiles (Aerospace/UAV/Defense Domain)

- Mandatory (Experience 2) : Must have strong hands-on experience in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using tools such as SysML, MATLAB/Simulink, Cameo, or equivalent for system modeling, simulation, and architecture definition (not just theoretical exposure)

- Mandatory (Experience 3) : Must have end-to-end system lifecycle experience covering requirements capture, architecture/design, integration, testing, validation (V&V), and deployment of complex engineering systems

- Mandatory (Skills 1) : Strong expertise in system architecture, requirement flow-down, traceability, and configuration/change management using tools like DOORS, Jira, Confluence, or equivalent.

- Mandatory (Skills 2) : Hands-on experience in system integration, functional testing, validation, and verification (V&V), including defining test strategies, SOPs, validation frameworks, and participating in real system-level testing

- Mandatory (Skills 3) : Solid understanding of aerospace/defense standards such as MIL-STD, DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160, AS9100, and practical experience working in compliance-driven or certification environments

- Mandatory (Skills 4) : Strong experience in Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA), and structured problem-solving methodologies applied to system-level failures and performance issues

- Mandatory (Leadership) :Proven experience in leading cross-functional teams, driving design reviews, and making system-level technical decisions in multi-disciplinary engineering environments

- Mandatory (Tools / Technical) :Working knowledge of Python scripting for debugging, system analysis, test automation, and data extraction during system integration phases

- Mandatory (Company) : Product companies (Prefer candidates from product-based or engineering-driven organizations like aerospace, UAV, robotics, automotive, or similar complex systems domains))

- Mandatory (Education) :Bachelors or Masters degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
