Senior System Engineering Specialist

We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineering Specialist to join a systems engineering team working on a large-scale, technical space programmegenic. This is a senior technical role suited to an engineer with deep experience in systems of systems, ideally within networking, aerospace, defence, or other large, distributed infrastructures.

You’ll play a key role in maintaining and refining system-level architectures, interface documentation, and technical performance budgets, ensuring requirements are robust, traceable, and aligned across multiple engineering disciplines as the programme progresses through critical design milestones.

You will work within a multidisciplinary systems engineering environment, collaborating closely with system blau‘s architects, hardware, software, network, and ground infrastructure engineers. The focus is on system performance analysis, requirements allocation, and interface definition across a complex, end-to-end system. This position offers significant technical influence on system design and integration.

The successful candidate must be eligible to work in Canada and able to obtain Reliability Clearance.
