Job Description

Role & Responsibilities

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior System Engineer with strong expertise in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), aerospace standards, system architecture design, and complete product lifecycle management. The ideal candidate will lead system-level design, integration, testing, validation, and certification activities for advanced UAV and aerospace platforms. This role requires deep technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and strong problem-solving capability.

Key Responsibilities-

System Architecture & Design-

Develop and manage system architecture, subsystem definitions, interfaces, and system-level specifications.
Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies using tools like SysML, MATLAB/Simulink, Cameo, etc.
Ensure compliance with MIL, Aerospace, and Industry Standards throughout design and development.

Requirements & Configuration Management-

Lead requirements capture, flow-down, traceability, and validation using tools such as Jira, Confluence, DOORS, or similar.
Manage requirement updates, change control, and system baselines.

Integration, Testing & Validation-

Plan and execute system integration, functional testing, and validation activities for components and complete UAV systems.
Define and maintain SOPs, test procedures, and validation frameworks.
Participate in environmental, functional, and endurance testing of aerospace systems.

Product Life Cycle & Process Management-

Lead end-to-end Product Life Cycle (PLC/PLM) from concept to manufacturing, deployment, support, and retirement.
Work closely with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and certification teams.

RCA, CAPA & Quality Assurance-

Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA), and quality assurance for system and component issues.
Drive reliability improvements using structured problem-solving methodologies.

Documentation & Reporting-

Prepare and maintain design documents, analysis reports, integration logs, V&V reports, risk assessments, and certification documentation.
Ensure accurate data analysis, data tracking, and system performance reporting.

Compliance, Certification & Standards-

Ensure adherence to relevant certification standards (MIL-STD, DO-178C/DO-254/DO-160, ISO, AS9100, etc.).
Support regulatory and customer audits.

Technical Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration-

Lead multi-disciplinary engineering teams in design reviews, technical discussions, and system decision-making.
Collaborate with supply chain, vendors, manufacturing, software, electronics, avionics, and flight test teams.
Provide mentorship and enforce high standards of technical discipline and engineering excellence.

UAV & Aerospace Systems Knowledge-

Strong understanding of UAV and aircraft layouts, propulsion, avionics, communication modules, sensors, powertrain, ground systems, and payload integration.
Support integration of new technologies, components, and subsystems into the UAV architecture.

Ideal Candidate

Strong System Engineering / MBSE Profiles (Aerospace/UAV/Defense Domain)
Mandatory (Experience 1): Must have 6+ years of experience in System Engineering with hands-on exposure to system architecture design, subsystem definition, and interface management specifically in aerospace, UAV, drone, defence, or other complex safety-critical engineering domains
Mandatory (Experience 2): Must have strong hands-on experience in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using tools such as SysML, MATLAB/Simulink, Cameo, or equivalent for system modeling, simulation, and architecture definition (not just theoretical exposure)
Mandatory (Experience 3): Must have end-to-end system lifecycle experience covering requirements capture, architecture/design, integration, testing, validation (V&V), and deployment of complex engineering systems

Mandatory (Skills 2): Hands-on experience in system integration, functional testing, validation, and verification (V&V), including defining test strategies, SOPs, validation frameworks, and participating in real system-level testing
Mandatory (Skills 3): Solid understanding of aerospace/defense standards such as MIL-STD, DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160, AS9100, and practical experience working in compliance-driven or certification environments
Mandatory (Skills 4): Strong experience in Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA), and structured problem-solving methodologies applied to system-level failures and performance issues
Mandatory (Leadership):Proven experience in leading cross-functional teams, driving design reviews, and making system-level technical decisions in multi-disciplinary engineering environments
Mandatory (Tools / Technical):Working knowledge of Python scripting for debugging, system analysis, test automation, and data extraction during system integration phases
Mandatory (Company): Product companies (Prefer candidates from product-based or engineering-driven organizations like aerospace, UAV, robotics, automotive, or similar complex systems domains))
Mandatory (Education):Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
