About the role
- If you're energized by working at the intersection of cutting-edge innovation, real-world impact, and hands-on engineering, you'll be in the right place - and we'd be thrilled to have you on the team!
- Make Systems Engineering a Force Multiplier Across the
Responsibilities
- Build and Develop a High-Impact Systems Engineering Team: Lead, coach, and grow a team of systems engineers, investing in their development as both technical experts and cross-functional leaders.
- Create clarity around expectations, provide regular feedback, and help the team scale with the needs of the program.
- Drive Safety and Certification from the Start: Ensure system safety and certification artifacts are developed early and used to actively guide design decisions.
- Define and Scale the Right Processes: Build, utilize, and refine systems engineering and system safety processes that are rigorous enough for certification, but practical enough for a fast-moving development environment.
- Own System Definition and Requirements Quality: Guide and contribute to the development of clear, well-structured requirements across all levels of the vehicle, ensuring alignment across disciplines and traceability to certification needs.
- Lead Risk-Based System Safety Work: Oversee and contribute to analyses such as FHA, FTA, and FMEA, ensuring they are integrated into design decisions and reflect a deep understanding of system-level risk.
- Partner with Regulators and Certification Stakeholders: Work closely with internal teams and external regulators to define and deliver certification artifacts, helping the organization build credibility and confidence with partners like USCG and classification societies.
- Support Critical Program Milestones: Ensure systems engineering and safety deliverables are ready for major reviews and certification gates, and help the team plan ahead for long-term program success.
- Leadership Experience: Proven ability to manage and grow engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, coaching, and developing engineers into strong technical leaders.
- Requirements and Analysis Depth: Experience developing requirements across multiple levels of system architecture and performing structured safety analyses such as FHA, FTA, and/or FMEA.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard methodologies such as DO-178, ARP4754/ARP4761, NASA or DoD systems engineering, or ISO 26262 - and the judgment to apply them effectively in real programs.
- Ability to work effectively across structural, mechanical, electrical, and software domains, understanding how system-level decisions impact each area.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to quickly grasp complex concepts or regulations and translate them into clear documentation, requirements, and guidance for others.
Compensation
- Competitive compensation including a robust equity incentive plan to reward your contributions to our success.

- Learning & professional development opportunities with the chance to make a direct impact on the company's growth and success.
Company info
- Embed systems thinking into the broader engineering organization - helping teams understand how to define requirements, reason about risk, conduct verification and validation, and contribute to certification.
- Ensure systems engineering enables progress rather than slowing it down.
- Drive Safety and Certification from the Start: Ensure system safety and certification artifacts are developed early and used to actively guide design decisions. Establish a culture where safety analyses and requirements are foundational inputs, not after-the-fact validations.
- Define and Scale the Right Processes: Build, utilize, and refine systems engineering and system safety processes that are rigorous enough for certification, but practical enough for a fast-moving development environment. Continuously improve how the team operates as the company grows.
- Strong Systems Engineering Foundation: Deep experience applying formal systems engineering practices in complex, regulated environments with a demonstrated background in aerospace, systems, mechanical, electrical engineering, or a closely related technical field - through education, hands-on experience, or both.
- Experience in Regulated, Safety-Critical Systems: A track record of working in industries such as aerospace, maritime, automotive, nuclear, or healthcare, with direct involvement in certification processes and engagement with regulatory bodies.
- Expertise in Systems Engineering and Safety Frameworks: Hands-on experience with industry-standard methodologies such as DO-178, ARP4754/ARP4761, NASA or DoD systems engineering, or ISO 26262 - and the judgment to apply them effectively in real programs.
- Cross-Disciplinary Technical Fluency: Ability to work effectively across structural, mechanical, electrical, and software domains, understanding how system-level decisions impact each area.
