Flight Systems Engineer: Build & Verify Next-Gen Air Defense

Stealth Mode; Gardena (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Singularity in Gardena, CA is seeking a Systems Engineer to drive how a flight vehicle is assembled as a system, including subsystems, interfaces, and verification evidence. You'll decompose mission needs into subsystem requirements and lead verification through bench, environmental, and flight tests.

You'll work with GNC, flight software, avionics, propulsion, structures, and test teams in lab and on the range.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a STEM field.
• 4+ years of systems engineering on flight vehicles or comparable complex systems.
• Experience with requirements development, ICDs, and verification across hardware/software.
• Experience planning or executing environmental qualification or acceptance testing.
• Ability to travel for test campaigns and obtain/maintain a U.S. security clearance.
• Working knowledge across mechanical, electrical, software, and controls disciplines.

Responsibilities

• Develop system architecture and derive, allocate, and maintain subsystem requirements across avionics, propulsion, structures, power, GNC, and flight software.
• Maintain interface control documents (ICDs) for mechanical, electrical, data, and software interfaces with internal teams and partners.
• Build and maintain the system model with traceable requirements, interfaces, and verification.
• Plan and support environmental qualification and acceptance tests (vibration, thermal, EMI/EMC, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461).
• Write test plans and procedures for critical subsystems and support vehicle-level integration and testing.
• Own verification and validation with clear methods and paths to closure.
• Support day-to-day technical work and resolve cross-subsystem issues.
• Assist test data analysis, anomaly resolution, and root-cause investigations.
