Systems Engineer - Mission Definition

Reliable Robotics is building safety-enhancing aviation technology to make air transportation safer and more convenient. The Mission Systems Engineer will develop and certify safety-critical flight systems, define mission and operational requirements, support system architecture and safety assessments, and translate piloting challenges into requirements for autonomous aircraft systems.

Responsibilities:

• In your role as a Mission Systems Engineer you will contribute to the development of prototypes and certifiable safety-critical flight systems in a dynamic start-up work environment
• Define and document mission-related aspects of future aircraft operation using insight from a pilot’s perspective
• Define and communicate strategies and plans for type certification and operational approval
• Develop training and support documents needed to deploy autonomous systems in an operational environment
• Support system architecture development and assess trade-off studies regarding performance, complexity, risk, and effort
• Capture system requirements and interfaces to drive avionics hardware and software development
• Perform operational safety assessments in support of experimental and production missions
• Provide engineering expertise in the design, development, test and validation of vehicle level functions and performances
• You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with other domains within Reliable Robotics and become involved in a broad task spectrum not limited to typical system engineering activities

Requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree of Science or Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or related discipline
• FAA-Certificated Pilot (Commercial, or Airline Transport) or Dispatcher with two or more years of operational experience under 14 CFR § 135, 14 CFR § 121 or Corporate Flight Operations
• Broad experience from 7+ years of designing various systems, integrations, and testing of complex safety-critical aerospace systems or equivalent technology
• Must be willing to travel up to 10% of the time
• Advanced Degree of Science or Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or related discipline
• Creative problem solver that can bring multiple disciplines together with the ability to assess risk and make design and development decisions based first principles without all available data
• Experience certifying flight critical systems, hardware, and software via ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-254, and DO-178C respectively
