• Decompose system requirements into functional and physical architectures.
• Specify interfaces between subsystems and external entities.
• Lead trade studies and technology assessments to inform architectural decisions.
• Ensure architectural integrity, robustness, and scalability throughout the system lifecycle.
• Collaborate with domain experts (e.g., avionics, structures, software) to refine and validate the architecture.
• Develop and maintain architectural models and documentation using industry-standard tools.
• Identify and mitigate architectural risks and complexities.
• Ensure architectural compliance with safety, security, and regulatory standards.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineering teams on architectural matters.

Requirements

• Master's or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in systems engineering, with at least 5 years focused on architectural design for complex aerospace systems.
• Demonstrated expertise in defining system architectures, including functional and physical aspects.
• In-depth knowledge of various aircraft systems (avionics, flight controls, power, environmental, etc.).
• Proficiency with systems modeling tools (e.g., SysML, MBSE tools like Cameo/Sparx EA).
• Strong understanding of systems engineering V-model and product lifecycle management.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and strategic thinking skills.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly.
• Proven ability to work independently and lead cross-functional teams in a remote environment.
• Familiarity with certification processes and safety standards relevant to aerospace applications, supporting operations relevant to **Northern Cape**.

Benefits

• Our client offers a highly competitive salary, performance bonuses, and excellent remote work support, including a home office stipend.
• Comprehensive health and retirement benefits are provided.
• This role offers the flexibility of remote work combined with the challenge of shaping the future of aerospace technology.
• Contribute to significant advancements from anywhere, supporting the broader mission with impacts potentially felt in regions like **Kimberley**.
