What You’ll Be Doing:

• Perform systems engineering tasks including technical planning, integration, risk analysis, and verification/validation across complex aerospace products.
• Contribute to the full development cycle: concept, design, fabrication, testing, installation, operation, and maintenance.
• Translate customer and product requirements into robust system solutions, managing trade studies and requirements allocation.
• Engage with stakeholders to ensure alignment across technical, schedule, and cost considerations.
• Support day-to-day task execution, project activities, and the delivery of system-level documentation.
• Work collaboratively to interpret operational needs and guide engineering outcomes.

What You’ll Bring:

• Degree in engineering (or equivalent industry experience).
• 4+ years’ relevant experience (or 8+ years without a formal degree).
• Practical knowledge of systems engineering lifecycle and aerospace system development.
• Experience using requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Innoslate) preferred.
• Awareness of CAD, CFD, and FEA tools is a plus.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.

Desirable Experience:

• Exposure to IPS/ILS (Integrated Product or Logistics Support) disciplines.
• Background in defence or safety-critical engineering environments.

Benefits Include:

• Half-day Fridays for improved work-life balance
