If this sounds like you, General Fusion’s Systems Engineer role may be the perfect fit!   

Position Overview:

General Fusion is seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to join our Fusion Demonstration Plant (FDP) team.  The Systems Engineer will take ownership of the Systems Engineering tasks associated with the design and development of several of the Demonstration Plant’s systems.  In this collaborative role, the successful candidate will work closely with Design Engineering to ensure several large electro-mechanical systems are defined, designed, and built to meet the program goals. You don’t need to be an expert in fusion; we will teach you everything you need to know about fusion. You need to be enthusiastic about learning what we’re doing.  Please note, this position is not a software system engineering role.

Key Responsibilities:

(What You’ll Be Doing!)

• Writing, maintaining, and updating system requirements.
• Defining systems boundaries, interfaces and interface control documents.
• Identifying, tracking, deriving, maintaining and updating requirements that stem from interactions that cross system boundaries.
• Working with the Design Engineering team to ensure that there are appropriate plans in place to verify all requirements and validate the designs throughout the project lifecycle.
• Tracking the progress of requirements verification and systems validation.
• Identifying conflicting and challenges in meeting design requirements and or maintaining performance margins; working with the Design Engineering teams and the Director of Program Management to resolve these challenges in a manner that continues to meet the program goals.
• Identifying conflicting requirements and working with affected stakeholders.
• Engaging all stakeholders before changing / updating requirements and margin allocations; communicating all changes to all stakeholders.
• Working with the team developing and maintaining performance models for the FDP to reflect and inform design and requirements changes accurately.
• Working with the Senior Vice President of Prototype Deployment and their team to capture requirements stemming from assembly, commissioning, testing, operating, servicing, lifetime extension and decommissioning of the demonstration plant.
• Acting as a systems administrator for managing and maintaining the Systems Engineering information management tools.

Relevant Skills and Experience:

(What You Bring!)

Required:

• 5+ years of experience as a systems engineer on a multi-disciplinary system-of-systems project or experience as a subject matter expert (e.g., control systems engineer, electro-mechanical engineer, diagnostics engineer, etc.) working with a systems engineer on a system-of-systems project
• Practical experience transitioning novel, emerging technologies into one-of-a-kind engineering projects
• Ability to adapt to rapidly changing systems’ designs and requirements
• Experience writing requirements or designing systems to meet explicitly defined requirements
• Experience managing and documenting system interfaces
• Understand the value and limitations of configuration management
• Effective oral and written communication skills and an ability to work both independently and collaboratively

Preferred:

• Hands-on experience designing/building/assembling machinery
• Experience with a systems engineering and or requirements management database
• Experience writing or executing a Systems Engineering Plan or components of a Systems Engineering Plan (Verification and Validation Plan, Integration Plan, etc.)
• Experience writing interface definition documents

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering or other engineering disciplines with relevant industrial experience 

What We Offer:

• Flexible hours
• Four weeks’ vacation
• Comprehensive benefits package
