DRS RADA is a global pioneer of RADAR systems for active military protection, counter-drone applications, critical infrastructure protection, and border surveillance. As the Senior System Engineer, you will be the architectural anchor for our next-generation interceptor and tactical UAS program. You will bridge the gap between operational requirements and multidisciplinary engineering execution. This is a foundational role requiring a systems-thinking mindset to navigate strict SWaP-C constraints, manage complex subsystems interfaces, and drive the product from conceptual design through successful field integration and flight testing. Key Responsibilities System Architecture & Design: Lead the definition of the overall system architecture (interceptor, ground control station, and data links). Translate operational needs into high-level System Requirement Documents (SRD) and Subsystem Specifications. SWaP-C Budget Management: Own and track critical system-level budgets including Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C), balancing trade-offs between battery life, propulsion, payload, and structural limits. Interface Control (ICD): Define, document, and manage physical, electrical, and software interfaces between avionics, GNC algorithms, power management, communications, and payloads. Engineering Governance: Lead formal technical milestones and design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders. V&V and Integration: Develop the system-level Verification and Validation (V&V) strategy. Write System Test Plans/Descriptions (STP/STD) and spearhead laboratory, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), and open-air flight test campaigns. Vendor & Subcontractor Management: Define technical statements of work (SOW) and preliminary specifications for critical tier-1 suppliers (propulsion, sensors, battery technology).
