What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on the engineering of aircraft systems across their full lifecycle — from requirements development and architecture design through integration, testing, and sustainment — for a novel aircraft concept. Day-to-day work spans electrical and avionics integration, system verification and validation, flight test support, and cross-functional coordination with mechanical, software, and certification teams. It suits an engineer with at least five years of aerospace systems experience and familiarity with MBSE practices.
Mid level · 5+ years · Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC · Bachelor's required · Full-time

Why we read it this way (7)
This role is primarily an aerospace/systems engineering position, not a standard computer/mathematical occupation. SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code given the systems engineering and avionics integration focus, but this role sits at the boundary of aerospace engineering (which has no matching code in the allowed list). 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a secondary possibility given the requirements analysis and systems integration work.
Compensation is described only as 'salary commensurate with background and direct experience' — no figures are provided.
US citizenship is explicitly required, though no formal security clearance is stated.
The 'Desired Skills' section lists several items (requirements development, system architecture, electrical/electronic system integration, verification and validation planning, failure analysis, risk assessment) that are framed as general engineering competencies rather than named tools or technologies, so they are omitted per extraction rules. Only concrete named technologies or tools are captured.
Autonomous flight control software integration appears under 'Desired Skills' and is treated as preferred. Avionics integration, communication systems, and navigation systems appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are similarly marked preferred.
The role title carries no seniority level word; advertised seniority is Unspecified. With 5+ years required and scope limited to individual contributor delivery, the requirements support a Mid-level band.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): requirements management, autonomous flight control software, electrical power generation and distribution systems, configuration management.
