The Opportunity
As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will lead the system-level definition and delivery of airborne SATCOM terminals while remaining a hands-on technical contributor. You will own critical system artifacts, drive key technical decisions, and actively contribute to requirements development, analysis, integration, and verification activities. The successful candidate thrives in a fast-paced, evolving development environment where accountability, initiative, and execution truly matter.
This role is ideal for an engineer who leads by example through strong technical ownership, is equally comfortable shaping strategy and executing detailed technical work and is willing to dive deep to resolve complex challenges.
This position is based on-site in our Ottawa, ON office.

Lead and actively participate in technical design reviews
Requirements Ownership & Direct Contribution
Lead and personally develop system-level requirements and their decomposition to subsystems
Author system requirements specifications, interface control documents (ICDs), and compliance matrices
Maintain end-to-end requirements traceability and verification mapping
Perform hands-on impact analysis and support configuration control activities
Integration, Verification & Execution
Lead system integration, verification, and validation activities with direct involvement in planning and execution
Develop system-level test plans, procedures, and acceptance criteria
Participate in lab integration, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis of system issues
Support environmental qualification and flight test activities, including hands-on test execution when required
Certification, Safety & Technical Ownership
Lead systems engineering activities in support of certification (ARP4754A, DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160)
Personally contribute to safety assessments including FHA, PSSA, and SSA
