Design-Engineer

Job Title: Electronic System Design Engineer

Job Summary: As an Electronics Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for the system-level design, development and validation of defence equipment. You will define system architectures, allocate requirements to subsystems, perform system engineering analyses, and ensure that the overall system meets operational, performance, reliability, safety, and environmental requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

1. System Architecture and Design

• Develop and maintain system-level architectures for defence electronic systems.
• Translate customer and operational requirements into system requirements and technical specifications.
• Define functional, physical, and interface architectures of complex defence systems.
• Allocate system requirements to electrical, electronic, mechanical, software, hydraulic, and communication subsystems.
• Conduct trade-off studies and system analyses to optimize performance, reliability, maintainability, and cost.

2. Requirements Engineering

• Capture, analyse, document, and manage system requirements.
• Ensure traceability from customer requirements to subsystem and verification requirements.
• Manage requirement changes and assess their impact on overall system performance.

3. System Integration

• Define interfaces between electrical, electronic, software, communication, and mechanical subsystems.
• Support subsystem integration activities and resolve interface-related issues.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure seamless system integration. Participate in integration troubleshooting activities.

4. Verification and Validation

• Develop system verification and validation strategies and plans.
• Define test requirements, acceptance criteria, and qualification procedures.
• Support laboratory, field, environmental, and platform-level testing activities.
• Verify system performance against customer specifications requirements.
• Participate in system qualification, acceptance, and certification activities.

5. Defence Standards and Compliance

• Ensure compliance with applicable defence and military standards.
• Verify adherence to standards related to environmental, EMC/EMI, reliability, maintainability, safety, and human factors.
• Support design reviews and compliance assessments throughout the development.

6. Technical Reviews and Risk Management

• Conduct System Requirements Reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR), and Critical Design Reviews (CDR).
• Identify technical risks and develop mitigation strategies.
• Evaluate design changes and their impact on overall system performance and compliance.
• Support configuration management and change control processes.

7. Documentation and Reporting

• Prepare and maintain system engineering documentation.
• Maintain complete traceability of requirements, design decisions, and verification evidence.

8. Continuous Improvement

• Stay updated with emerging defence technologies, systems engineering methodologies, and military standards.
• Recommend improvements to system engineering processes, tools, and practices.

Qualifications:

• Education:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience:
  • 06-12 years of experience in systems engineering, system integration, or development of complex systems.
• Skills:
  • Strong knowledge of Systems Engineering principles and lifecycle processes.
  • Experience in system architecture development and requirements management.
  • Familiarity with defence industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461).
  • Proficiency in using simulation and analysis tools for system scheme.
  • Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) concepts is desirable.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

Working Conditions:

• Office environment with possible occasional visits to manufacturing facilities.
• Full-time position with standard working hours; some flexibility may be required based on project needs.
