• Manage the system changes and configuration and communicate with important partners.


• Develop product and system development roadmaps based on product and system architecture decisions and trade study analyses.


• Lead and conduct trade study analyses and support technical reviews to lead technology and system element selections.


• Collaborate teams responsible for implementing the development of technology, systems, and components into the product and system.


• Conduct architectural assessments and reviews, providing guidance on technology selection and integration.


• Guide collaboration, engaging with product, engineering, and operational teams to ensure architecture supports goals


• Implement system engineering, integration and test plans to ensure product launch.


• Establish main requirements for the product and system level architecture with a focus on the non-nuclear systems and our associated supply chain, partners, and vendors.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or manufacturing.


• 10+ years of applicable experience.


• Experience working in an environment of applied R&D


• System engineering experience


• Experience with Agile management and rapid prototyping development methods
