Senior Systems Engineer – L3 Technologies – Goleta

Description
L3 is seeking a Sr. Systems Engineer to develop and realize undersea acoustic system solutions for high-level customer needs. These systems involve deep ocean installations containing high channel count sensors, distributed power systems, and optical networks. The ideal candidate will have a background in maritime systems, though any candidate with systems engineering experience and a strong technical background may apply. The key elements of this position include aggregating top-level requirements from multiple sources, consolidating and developing a technical solution working with SMEs, and allocating and tracking those requirements to lower level subsystems and components. The candidate will lead an integrated product team (IPT) with customer and Government participation and will serve as the key technical interface alongside the program manager. Technical writing and proposal experience is a plus

Position Summary
Work with small agile teams in sunny Santa Barbara, 5 minutes from the beach
Close and direct customer interaction and the ability to contribute to and shape solutions
Experience the full design cycle from proposal to design to field-testing and installations all over the world
Work with program management and senior leadership to see and understand the financial performance of the program and overall business
Opportunity for mentoring and development for more senior engineering or management roles
Lead development projects involving circuits, embedded systems/software and high level system design working independently and in a group.
As Integrated Product Team Leader, chair project meetings to manage project progress including project TPMs, SW metrics, Risk Management, project schedules and budgets.
Work closely with engineering, program management, and business development to perform requirements analysis and high level conceptual and detailed design of systems involving marine sensing, data acquisition, telemetry, and tracking, particularly Navy/DoD systems working with often vague customer requirements.
Develop technical solutions applying marine acoustic principals including the sonar equation, and electronic and mechanical processes.
Lead detailed design efforts both individually and in a group using analysis, modeling, and prototype testing.
Apply field experience to assist in development of marine system installation techniques considering installation equipment to be used and physical configuration of the system.
Perform analysis and trade studies to evaluate possible technical solutions using MATLAB, Mathcad, SolidWorks, Hydrodynamic modeling, LTSpice.
Lead, and contribute significantly to proposal efforts.

Additional Responsibilities
May perform other duties as assigned, including work in other functional areas to cover absences or relief, to equalize peak work periods or otherwise to balance the workload.
