Systems Engineer – Principal

Systems Engineer, Princ

We are looking for a Systems Engineer to join our Shelby team!

As our Systems Engineer you will, develop electromechanical and hydromechanical actuation design solutions for commercial and defense related aircraft flight control and utility actuation applications. You will develop system architectures for integrated actuation sub-systems, and generate associated schematics, diagrams and descriptions to support contracted programs and new business proposals. You will also perform control system design, define system component characteristics and perform system simulation modeling to predict integrated system response dynamics. Manage, decompose and allocate system requirements and generate subtier level specifications. Apply MBSE to actuation system development, including for safety critical software controlled systems.
