What you will do

• Develop, allocate, maintain, and trace technical requirements across product and plant architecture levels.
• Translate program objectives, stakeholder needs, design inputs, and regulatory considerations into clear, complete, consistent, and verifiable requirements.
• Perform functional analysis and decomposition and develop functional, logical, and physical system architectures.
• Define and manage interfaces between systems, organizations, suppliers, facilities, and external partners.
• Develop verification strategies, methods, plans, acceptance criteria, and evidence for demonstrating requirement satisfaction.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary reviews, resolve cross-functional technical issues, assess change impacts, manage technical risks and dependencies, mentor less-experienced engineers, and improve systems-engineering processes and tools.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in systems engineering, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related technical field.
• Relevant professional experience applying systems-engineering methods to complex engineering programs or products.
• Experience developing, allocating, maintaining, and tracing technical requirements.
• Experience with functional analysis and decomposition, system architecture development, interface definition and management, system integration, requirements verification and validation, or technical change-impact assessment.
• Experience coordinating technical reviews or leading focused cross-functional engineering activities.
• Strong technical writing, communication, presentation, analytical, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.
• Knowledge of systems-engineering lifecycle processes, technical management, requirements development and verification, architecture development, interface control, system integration, configuration management, engineering change control, and technical risk, assumption, issue, opportunity, and dependency management.
• Ability to evaluate complex systems holistically, collaborate across disciplines and technical authorities, balance technical rigor with cost, schedule, risk, and execution needs, manage multiple priorities, and transfer technical knowledge.
• Ability to work in office, laboratory, manufacturing, test-facility, industrial, or controlled environments; follow safety procedures; report hazards; and use required personal protective equipment.

Nice to have

• Experience in the nuclear, power-generation, aerospace, defense, energy, or another highly regulated industry.
• Experience with requirements-management tools such as Jama Connect.
