Systems Integration Engineer III
Systems Integration Engineer III (Contract) (Location: Nashua, NH area) Top Skills Needed… Being a Test Lead for a program (time management, multitasking, communication, etc.) Linux Debugging for both hardware and software (hardware: = signal tracing via schematics, customer documentation, etc.; software - python, bash, etc.). Position Overview: The Systems Integration Engineer will ensure seamless integration of various systems and subsystems into a comprehensive and functional solution. They are responsible for designing, implementing, testing, and supporting the integration of complex defense and aerospace systems. This role requires a deep understanding of system architecture, software development, hardware integration, and testing methodologies. Key Responsibilities: System Integration Planning: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop integration plans, define system interfaces, and identify integration requirements. Create a roadmap for system integration activities, including schedules, milestones, and resource allocation. System Architecture Design: Analyze system requirements and develop integration solutions that align with overall system architecture. Design and document system interfaces, data flows, and integration mechanisms to ensure interoperability between subsystems. Software and Hardware Integration: Integrate software applications and hardware components into the overall system. Develop and implement software interfaces, protocols, and middleware to facilitate seamless communication between different subsystems. Perform hardware integration, including component installation, wiring, and configuration. System Testing and Validation: Develop test plans and procedures to validate system integration. Conduct comprehensive testing of integrated systems, identify issues, and troubleshoot problems. Collaborate with quality assurance teams to ensure compliance with industry standards and customer requirements. Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Identify potential risks and issues related to system integration. Conduct risk assessments and develop mitigation strategies to address technical challenges, schedule constraints, and resource limitations. Proactively communicate risks and propose solutions to stakeholders. Documentation and Reporting: Prepare technical documentation, including integration plans, design specifications, test reports, and user manuals. Maintain accurate records of integration activities, changes, and configurations. Generate progress reports and present updates to project teams and management. Collaboration and Communication: Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including system engineers, software developers, hardware engineers, and project managers. Collaborate with external vendors, subcontractors, and customers to ensure effective integration of systems. Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Qualifications and Skills: Top Skills Needed… Being a Test Lead for a program (time management, multitasking, communication, etc.) Linux Debugging for both hardware and software (hardware: = signal tracing via schematics, customer documentation, etc.; software - python, bash, etc.). *Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. *Strong knowledge of system integration principles, methodologies, and best practices. *Experience with defense and aerospace systems integration is highly desirable. *Proficiency in system architecture design, including system interfaces, data flows, and integration patterns. *Familiarity with software development processes, programming languages, and software integration techniques. *Solid understanding of hardware components, including sensors, actuators, communication interfaces, and embedded systems. *Experience in system testing and validation, including test plan development, test execution, and troubleshooting. *Knowledge of industry standards and regulations governing defense and aerospace systems. *Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to identify and resolve integration issues. *Strong communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders. *Attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to work under pressure to meet project deadlines. * Any experience with sensor systems is a plus.
