Systems Engineer - ELSYS - (Open Rank)

Overview The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem‑solving research annually for government and industry. GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry. Project/Unit Description The Applied Embedded Systems (AES) division of the Electronic Systems Laboratory (ELSYS) supports multiple research products and projects in concert with development teams building complex, multi‑faceted embedded and electronic systems. AES focuses on the research, development, testing, and deployment of embedded electronic and electromechanical systems in areas such as electronic warfare, radar, command and control, communications, avionics, entertainment, physiological monitoring, and more. This position will support electronic hardware and systems engineering development needs of the Open Systems Development Branch (OSDB), including developing hardware from existing open standards such as OpenVPX, creating new open standards, architecting defense systems, and creating reference architectures or family‐of‐systems. Job Purpose The Systems Engineer oversees and coordinates the work of technical teams on systems projects, ensuring the successful design, implementation, operation, and technical management of those projects. The role includes gathering and analyzing requirements, documenting technical requirements, leading the design of system architecture, overseeing implementation, and managing technical aspects post‑deployment such as monitoring performance, troubleshooting, and improving the system. Key Responsibilities Facilitate product or system requirements gathering and analysis with sponsors and other key stakeholders Verify systems engineering product life‑cycle components to include definitions, requirements analysis, synthesis, systems analysis and implementation Conduct product or system design synthesis translating requirements into physical architectures for systems of moderate complexity to include defining and refining internal and external interfaces Develop and contribute to technical reports and diagrams detailing product or system attributes Analyze product or system functionality as defined by requirements Additional Responsibilities Manage all technical aspects of product or system design including directing multiple lab resources for large‑scale product or system deployments Manage sub‑contractor resources supporting all system engineering areas (definition, requirements analysis, synthesis, systems analysis and implementation) Conduct product or system design synthesis translating requirements into physical architectures for systems of high complexity to include defining and refining internal and external interfaces Develop technical reports and diagrams detailing product or system attributes Validate security control configurations on systems and ensure all systems are configured with proper controls, such as STIGS, CMMC, and other similar requirements Collaborate with sponsors and external teams to derive tasks from detailed requirements, and provide tasking to other team members based off the derived tasks Lead the development and composition of new/updated open architectures and standards Lead technical meetings with GTRI and sponsor personnel, and support issue tracking and hardware development planning Lead proposal efforts or new research areas suitable for internal research and development (IR&D) funding Lead teams of electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware researchers in support of sponsored research efforts Required Minimum Qualifications Experience with the definition and utilization of open architectures and standards such as OpenVPX, SOSA, HOST, OMS/UCI, Big Iron, AMS GRA, UC2, NIEM, OCI, etc. Experience developing hardware/software/firmware for embedded environments, including but not limited to FPGA designs, analog/digital circuits, or other embedded hardware Knowledge of computer architectures as it relates to embedded hardware and communications standards (e.g., Ethernet, PCI Express) Familiarity with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and the utilization of SysML to execute the Systems Engineering 'V' Preferred Qualifications Active Secret Clearance Experience architecting/developing mission systems and/or safety‑critical systems Experience with full system lifecycle development from requirements definition to verification and validation within an MBSE environment Experience architecting/developing reference architectures with an MBSE environment Experience architecting/developing containerized software systems Experience architecting/developing RF and EO/IR sensor systems Knowledge of avionics protocols and interfaces, including but not limited to ARINC- and VITA‑standard protocols, high‑speed serial, discrete signal, MIL‑STD‑1553 and analog interfaces Travel Requirements Education and Length of Experience Levels 3, 4.
