Aerospace Systems Engineer-Design to V&V

Job Number: P25F01
The Systems Engineer will support both design-side and integration-side Systems Engineering activities, ensuring continuity across the aircraft development lifecycle in accordance with ARP4754. This role contributes to requirements definition, architecture development, verification and validation (V&V) planning, and configuration control, with the focus shifting by program phase. The engineer will support the DOORS Next Generation (DNG) environment and work closely with design, integration/test, certification, and program teams to ensure requirements are clearly defined, traceable, and verifiable. This role plays a key part in aligning design intent with system integration and verification outcomes to enable a disciplined and integrated aircraft development approach. This position is based onsite in North Carolina.
Greensboro, NC

 

Key Responsibilities

 

  • Support system development activities including requirements definition, architecture development, and baseline control in accordance with ARP4754.
  • Support both design-side and system integration-side Systems Engineering activities, with responsibilities shifting as the program progresses.
  • Support requirements management using DOORS Next Generation (DNG), including requirements development, traceability, and change coordination.
  • Support configuration control of requirements, architectures, and system artifacts across design and integration phases.
  • Contribute to verification and validation (V&V) planning from a design perspective and support V&V execution during system integration and test.
  • Act as a technical interface between design teams and system integration/test teams to ensure alignment of design intent and verification outcomes.
  • Support preparation and maintenance of Systems Engineering documentation, including plans, development assurance artifacts, and certification support materials.
  • Support coordination of engineering teams through design reviews, integration activities, and key program milestones.
  • Support aircraft certification activities by contributing to requirements justification, verification evidence, and regulatory alignment.
  • Collaborate across disciplines to ensure consistent application of Systems Engineering practices throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Provide guidance and knowledge sharing on Systems Engineering principles, tools, and best practices as needed.

 

Minimum Qualifications

 

  • At least 5 years of experience on aircraft or rotorcraft development programs.
