As a Senior Systems Engineer at Scytalys, you will lead and contribute to the design, integration, and lifecycle management of complex systems and systems-of-systems. Using Scytalys’ internal engineering methodology, you will translate stakeholder needs into validated system requirements and architectures, maintain traceability across the system lifecycle, and support integration and acceptance from a systems engineering perspective. You will also mentor engineers and promote best practices across the team.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze stakeholder needs and operational concepts to define system and subsystem requirements.

• Develop and maintain system architectures, including functional, logical, and physical views, using MBSE principles.

• Manage system models and ensure traceability of requirements, interfaces, and design decisions throughout the lifecycle.

• Define and manage system interfaces and interface control documentation for internal and external system interactions.

• Plan and support system integration and acceptance activities by defining verification strategies, acceptance criteria, and compliance matrices.

• Review system design and implementation artifacts to ensure alignment with requirements and architectural intent.

• Identify, assess, and communicate technical risks, trade-offs, and system performance impacts to engineering leadership and management.

• Support system deployment and installation from a systems engineering perspective, ensuring requirements compliance.

• Mentor and coach engineers to develop skills in systems thinking, MBSE, and the company’s engineering methodology.

• Contribute to team objectives by supporting cross-disciplinary activities outside immediate expertise when required.
