The Destinus engineering team is seeking a Systems Engineer to guide product design and drive qualification of energetic subsystems such as solid rocket motors, warheads, auxiliary pyrotechnics, and safety, arming and firing (SAF) devices. This role owns the qualification program end to end, from Mission Concept Review through to type qualification, production acceptance, and in-service surveillance. Energetic sub-systems are critical technology for the operation of Destinus Effectors and must be developed and qualified to rigorous standards to support platform level efforts and qualification programs.
The ideal candidate combines hands-on systems and test engineering with documentation discipline and broad-based systems understanding to build a defensible Engineering Qualification Program and Qualification file.
Tasks
- Collaborate with energetics, propulsion, mechanical, electronics, and software discipline leads to integrate qualification overlays into a coherent system-level program.
- Drive product through the qualification process in line with certification frameworks and internal development processes.
- Develop and maintain the Qualification Data Pack, including qualification plans, test plans and procedures, requirements, verification matrices, and qualification specifications and reports.
- Define test campaigns and acceptance criteria, and coordinate environmental, mechanical, safety, and performance test programs to NATO AECTP, STANAG, and AOP standards.
- Engage with the end user, lead engineers, and customer to understand and document both system and sub-system requirements for tailoring qualification programs.
- Help build and maintain requirements traceability and verification cross-references, ensuring every requirement is verified and traceable.
- Manage re-qualification / delta qualification: assess change and failure triggers, classify them, and scope the re-qualification activity in line with the framework’s re-qualification criteria.
- Support hazard and safety assessments at system level and ensure the qualification evidence underpins the system safety case and Statement of Qualification.
- Help build an internal systems and qualification engineering discipline and structures to take products to the next level.
Requirements
- BSc. or MSc. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems, or a related engineering discipline.
- 3+ years of experience in systems engineering of energetic systems such as propulsion, missile, or aerospace systems in a defense or aerospace environment.
- Working knowledge of a gate-driven, V-model qualification lifecycle and the deliverables and entry/exit criteria associated with formal design and qualification reviews.
- Extensive experience with NATO and equivalent qualification standards — STANAG, AECTP, and AOP munition safety principles, or equivalent national frameworks.
- Proven experience authoring qualification plans, test procedures, verification matrices, and qualification reports in a regulated, safety-critical environment.
- Experience with configuration management, requirements traceability, and document control on a complex hardware program.
- Strong documentation discipline and analytical mindset, with the ability to assemble and defend a complete evidence package under technical-authority review.
- Able to work hands-on across laboratory, integration, and test environments.
- Willingness to travel between production, R&D, and test sites in various locations.
- Fluency in English; German, French or Dutch is a plus.
