Senior V&V Systems Engineer

Own the system architecture and system model for Hypersonica’s high‑speed flight vehicles, ensuring mission intent, vehicle dynamics, avionics, and GNC form a coherent, verifiable whole. 

Lead aerospace systems architecture design, taking responsibility for how the vehicle is defined across disciplines from early concept through Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and beyond. 

Build and maintain the authoritative system requirements model, decomposing mission‑level objectives into clear, testable system and sub‑system requirements. 

Define and own the end‑to‑end system V‑model, including requirements validation, verification strategy, and clear readiness gates for Kick‑off and PDR. 

Apply model‑based systems engineering (MBSE) as a practical engineering tool, not a documentation exercise, ensuring traceability between requirements, models, analyses, and tests. 

Develop and deliver a 6‑DoF Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) model to PDR standard, in close collaboration with flight physics and avionics engineers. 

Apply closed‑loop control theory in the context of high‑speed flight and military guidance, ensuring controllability, stability, and performance are understood at the system level.
