Senior Systems Engineer

The 777-9 Systems Integration team is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to serve as a systems engineering integration focal in Everett, WA. This role will lead interdisciplinary, cross-functional activities to plan, design, develop and verify complex, lifecycle-balanced system-of-systems solutions that directly support 777-9 certification and entry-into-service objectives. Position Overview: The Senior Systems Engineer will support Systems IPT projects and initiatives critical to achieving 777-9 Amended Type Certification (ATC) and Entry into Service (EIS). The role will lead and coordinate multi-discipline technical integration across organizations to manage system architecture, interfaces, and certification-related technical risks and opportunities. The engineer will be accountable for one or more projects and will provide technical, requirements-based leadership on issues that require cross-functional stakeholder alignment. The candidate will apply an interdisciplinary approach, develop trade space and integrate stakeholders from many systems engineering disciplines to ensure mission success.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading special projects and initiatives to progress systems maturity towards 777-9 type certification (ATC) and entry into service (EIS) including development and execution of integrated plans that balance technical, safety, cost, schedule and certification constraints.
• Defining, decomposing and maintaining system requirements; leading requirements management activities, traceability, verification planning, and configuration control across system boundaries.
• Leading cross-functional teams to evaluate technical issues, integrate technical parameters, and assure compatibility of physical, functional and program interfaces across subsystems and supplier organizations.
• Leading analyses to optimize total system architecture, including affordability, safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, and certification considerations.
• Identifying, quantifying and managing technical risks, issues and opportunities across the systems design teams; leading development and implementation of technical risk mitigation.
• Leading detailed technical investigations and verification activities to ensure system integration and regulatory/certification compliance; defining remediation plans and driving closure with engineering, suppliers and certification authorities.
