Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States Draper Labs Full time
Job Description

Draper Labs is seeking a highly skilled Principal Systems Engineer to join our Embedded Microsystems team. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for developing and managing requirements, architecture, interface documentation, and system specifications for complex systems in mission domains such as embedded secure communications, advanced electronics miniaturization, edge processing and computing, trustworthy secure platforms, and autonomous air/sea vehicles.

This role requires a strong understanding of systems engineering principles, as well as experience working with multidisciplinary teams to innovate new microelectronics system solutions over the full system development lifecycle. You will be responsible for driving solutions to complex problems, developing requirements, proposing ways forward when customer requirements are unclear or incomplete, and adapting appropriately to changes in requirements.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in systems engineering, with experience in leading medium-sized teams (5-10 people) and aligning them towards program goals. You will also be responsible for providing insight and suggesting design modifications based on analysis outcomes, and applying analysis techniques across a range of technical challenges and disciplines.

We are looking for a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Systems Engineering who can identify program/system-level technical risks and develop and execute mitigation strategies. You will also be responsible for developing, documenting, and teaching best practices to less experienced engineers, and demonstrating strong organization, planning, and time management skills to achieve program goals.

As a mentor, you will recognize strengths and weaknesses in others and provide thoughtful constructive feedback. If you are a highly-organized individual with a system-level perspective, strong oral and written communication skills, and practical experience with simulation-based performance analysis, we encourage you to apply.

Additional qualifications include experience in the development of System Security documentation per Government requirements, experience planning and leading Systems Engineering Technical Reviews, experience working with modern data bus / electrical interfaces for flight/space systems, experience in writing innovative R&D proposals to commercial and government sponsors, and an understanding of the fundamentals of cryptographic key management, public key infrastructure, and NSA's Key Management Infrastructure.

Applicants selected for this position will be required to obtain and maintain a government security clearance. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as opportunities for professional growth and development.

Draper Labs is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from diverse candidates. We are committed to creating a diverse environment and are proud to be an affirmative action and equal opportunity employer.
