Founded as a start-up in 2012 in Italy, the company became a listed entity on Euronext Milan in 2022 and is now part of Honeywell (acquisition and delisting completed in August 2024).
Job Summary: We are seeking a System Engineer involved in the design and technical development of inertial navigation systems for both the Industrial and Aerospace & Defense domains.
The main tasks will include analyzing customer requirements, generating system architecture, setting formal system requirements, defining applicable methods for requirements validation, specifying procedures for design verification, supporting proper product installation into target platforms, and coordinating system development, integration, and qualification/certification activities while maintaining continuous communication with customers regarding all technical aspects.
Responsibilities and Duties: Support definition and drafting of the System Development Plans in accordance with recognized standards (ARP4754, ARP4761).
Organize and manage documentation for program development.
Define high-level System Requirements and System Architecture.
Flow down requirements from the system to items level (SW, HW, MECH, etc.).
Review low-level requirements for various subassemblies and components (mechanical parts, electronic boards, optical and opto-electronics components, software and firmware (FPGA) modules, configuration parameters).
Conduct static and dynamic analysis of IMU performance.
Support the System Test Department in defining System Test procedures and Qualification Plans according to widely recognized standards (ARP-4754, DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461).
Support system integration and testing of INS/AHRS/IMU with complex software and hardware.
Review and approve technical design documents and data related to the system under development.
Review acceptance test reports, qualification test reports, similarity analysis reports, and all technical studies related to the system under development.
Evaluate technical specifications included in the documentation package of the bid/request for proposal (RFP) to contribute to the preparation of the technical proposal and compile the requirements compliance matrix.
Qualifications and Skills: University degree in Electronics, Opto-Electronics, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or equivalent.
