What this job asks for AI summary
An early-career systems engineering role focused on pilot control, actuation systems, and cockpit solutions for next-generation aircraft. Day-to-day work spans requirements definition, verification and validation, interface documentation, trade studies, and failure analysis across the full product lifecycle. The position suits a recent engineering graduate comfortable with MBSE tools, requirements management software, and aerospace development standards such as ARP 4754.

Why we read it this way (8)
This is a Systems Engineering role in aerospace hardware/software — not a pure software development or IT role. SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the systems analysis and requirements-traceability focus, but neither is a perfect fit for a hardware-inclusive aerospace systems engineer.
Experience requirement is stated as '0-2 years' related work experience,' placing this firmly at the entry/junior level despite the $95K–$118K salary range.
MBSE tools are listed in the main requirements section with 'such as Cameo or equivalents' — Cameo is captured as an alternative since the requirement is for MBSE capability broadly.
DOORS is listed in the main requirements section as an example ('such as DOORS') — treated as a hard gate on requirements management tooling, with DOORS as the named representative.
Matlab/Simulink/Simscape are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting.
DO-160, ARP4761, and MIL-STD-810 are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting.
APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) is explicitly called 'a plus but not required' in the posting.
The position is ITAR-controlled, requiring U.S. citizenship or permanent residency — no formal security clearance is gated, but candidates must be eligible under ITAR.
