Systems Engineer (Requirements Manager), Aviation

You will join a team developing a state-of-the-art autonomous system that will shape the future of air combat. As a member of our engineering team, you will own and drive the end-to-end requirements engineering process across both onboard and ground-based systems, from initial customer negotiation through to final product qualification, while supporting the systems development. This involves establishing and maintaining the requirements baseline, managing traceability across all development artefacts, and bridging the gap between customer-level contractual obligations and the software and systems teams delivering them. Your primary impact will be ensuring that every requirement is unambiguous, traceable, testable, and consistently tied to a clear method of compliance. You will collaborate daily with our AI software specialists, systems engineers, V&V specialists, and quality assurance team to guarantee the developed product meets contractual qualification requirements and exceeds customer expectations. Capture, author, and manage system-level requirements for the aircraft and associated ground systems, translating contractual obligations and operational needs into clear, verifiable technical requirements. Support the planning of all requirements related activities together with program management team. Define the product breakdown structure, and the requirements structure according to the program needs, aiming efficient integration between teams. Own and maintain the requirements baseline and traceability matrix, ensuring full bidirectional traceability from customer-level contractual requirements down to software and hardware development artefacts, and up through V&V evidence. Negotiate system requirements and Methods of Compliance (MoC), and validate derived requirements in close collaboration with our software and engineering teams. Establish, maintain, and continuously improve the requirements management toolchain (DOORS, Polarion, Jama, or equivalent), ensuring seamless integration with MBSE models and the V&V test environment. Support and drive the adoption of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches alongside traditional text-based requirements, pragmatically bridging the two to suit programme needs. Define and enforce requirements.
