LTA is seeking a Systems Safety Engineer to serve as a senior individual contributor and technical authority within the Systems Engineering function. Operating at the principal level, this engineer applies broad mastery across subsystems and disciplines beyond their core area to architect and validate new, complex system-of-systems and integration approaches where no legacy solution exists. The Principal Systems Engineer sets the overarching technical direction for a systems discipline, owns the system-level safety, verification, and certification strategy for a vehicle program or major system, and acts as a subject-matter expert during internal audits and regulatory interactions. This is a role for a proven technical leader who provides leadership and direction to multidisciplinary, integrated product teams, mentors and develops senior engineering staff, shapes program-defining architectures and drives the integration and certification of lighter-than-air flight vehicles.
