Senior Systems Engineer

As a core member of our engineering and systems team, you will design, implement, and maintain the IBM ELM/Jazz platform to support safety-critical aerospace workflows and drive our Digital Thread initiative. You will support tool development for managing and tracking RBE activities, ensuring seamless compliance and end-to-end traceability from aircraft-level requirements through manufacturing, software, and hardware verification. You will act as the master architect connecting systems engineering data with broader enterprise engineering lifecycles.

Responsibilities

• Digital Thread & Enterprise Integration
• Design, implement, and maintain integrations between IBM ELM and enterprise systems (e.g., PLM, CAD, ERP, MES) to form a unified Digital Thread.
• Build linked data pipelines across tools using OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration), REST APIs, and specialized middleware (e.g., IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Integration Adapter).
• Define data federation and synchronization strategies to ensure "single source of truth" visibility across the entire product lifecycle.
• Establish automated configuration management links between systems engineering data and physical product structures (e.g., As-Designed/As-Built BOMs).
• ARP4754 Compliance & Safety Management
• Align the IBM ELM platform workflow with ARP4754 guidelines for civil aircraft development.
• Map and track development assurance levels (DAL A through E) across all system architecture elements.
• Prepare automated traceability and verification matrices to support compliance audits and SOI reviews.
• IBM ELM Platform Administration & Architecture
• Focal for the administration and configuration of the IBM ELM Suite (DOORS Next Gen, EWM, ETM, Rhapsody, GCM, and JTS).
• Configure project areas, access rights, permissions, and workflow templates.
• Troubleshoot system performance, resolve configuration conflicts, and maintain platform a...
