Avionics System Engineer

Sapsol Technologies Inc; Long Beach (CA); In loco; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Sapsol Technologies Inc. is seeking an experienced Flight Control System Validation & Verification Engineer to lead end-to-end system V&V for the FCS on the BWB Demonstrator. You will drive verification across MIL/SIL/HIL, manage traceability, and collaborate across systems engineering, software, avionics, and flight test teams.

The role focuses on requirements compliance, robustness, and certification readiness, with emphasis on safety assessments and rigorous technical substantiation.

Competenze

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical or related field.
• 5-10 years of experience in flight control system or avionics V&V.
• Strong system-level V&V experience for safety-critical aerospace systems.
• Solid understanding of FCS architectures, redundancy, and integration.
• Experience with model-based verification and simulation-driven testing.
• Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink and test automation.
• Experience with requirements management and traceability tools.
• Ability to operate in a highly integrated, fast-moving program.
• Strong technical writing and communication skills.

Mansioni

• Plan, develop, and execute system-level V&V strategies for the Flight Control System across the full development lifecycle.
• Own and maintain FCS verification plans, procedures, and matrices, aligned with milestones and certification objectives.
• Perform requirements-based and function-based verification, including allocation, traceability, coverage analysis, and closure.
• Verify FCS functional performance, mode logic, redundancy management, reversion strategies, and fault detection/accommodation.
• Execute and oversee verification activities in MIL, SIL, HIL environments with emphasis on integrated system behavior.
• Coordinate interface verification between FCS and avionics, sensors, actuators, propulsion, and vehicle systems.
• Support robustness, failure case, and abnormal/emergency scenario testing, including batch and Monte Carlo testing.
• Collaborate with systems engineering, software, avionics, safety, and flight test teams to ensure cohesive system verification.
• Supports safety assessments (FHA, FTA, SSA) by providing verification evidence and technical substantiation.
• Identify verification risks, gaps, and anomalies; lead investigation, root cause analysis, and closure activities.
• Prepare, review, and deliver verification reports and certification artifacts.
• Contribute to V&V process improvements for advanced aircraft systems.
