Director, Features System Engineering

Required

• You are a systems engineering Technology leader who has built and run the function strategically, not just practiced it. You have partnered with business and product teams to lead the system and sub-system expectations, requirements, and verification strategy on new product development programs, and you know how to turn an ambiguous concept into a defined, testable, certifiable system. You have defined the behaviors and functions of autonomous, AI-enabled systems, ideally in Product Architecture, Mission Autonomy, Vehicle Autonomy, and you can coach,explain and drive the design intent and the safety case to engineers, executives, customers, suppliers, and regulators with equal credibility.
• You build and develop managers and engineers as readily as you build architectures. You hire strong systems talent, mentor them into technical leaders, and earn trust across engineering through judgment rather than title. You are drawn to the hardest version of this problem: bringing autonomy to certified commercial and military aviation, where the technology is new, the stakes are real, and the playbook is still being written.
