Aerospace Systems Engineer-Design to V&V

Aerospace Systems Engineer-Design to V&V - Honda Research Institute USA 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. 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.
