Systems Engineer (onsite)

Summary Palomar Products is seeking a Systems Engineer to support the development of our next-generation Intercom System for military aerospace platforms.

This role will drive system-level requirements, architecture development, and design coordination across disciplines.

As the product matures, the Systems Engineer will take a leading role in defining test requirements, supporting system verification, and ensuring compliance with certification objectives under DO-178C and DO-254 .   Essential Duties and Responsibilities Define, analyze, and manage system-level requirements, interface definitions, and system architecture using Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML as part of a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach.

Translate system requirements into testable verification objectives and define clear system test requirements in coordination with the test engineering team.

Support the development and maintenance of core system documents including the System Specification, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Requirements Traceability Verification Matrices (RTVM), System Test Plans and Procedures, and Qualification Test Plans and procedures.

Guide the integration and verification process across hardware, firmware, software, and test engineering disciplines to ensure traceability and compliance to safety-critical standards.

Support system and sub-system test execution, test readiness reviews (TRR), and issue resolution throughout integration and qualification.

Contribute to system-level analyses, trade studies, and risk mitigation strategies as the product transitions from design to test and production.

Ensure system development aligns with applicable standards including DO-178C, DO-254, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, and cybersecurity compliance guidelines (e.g., NIST 800).

Actively participate in milestone reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, FCA, PCA) and provide input to program schedules and configuration management.
