Senior Systems Engineer N3XT Interceptor C‑UAS (m/f/d)

About the Role

At Quantum Systems, we develop highly autonomous, high‑performance interceptor systems for military and governmental customers. Our N3XT Interceptor C‑UAS systems operate under extreme dynamic, environmental, and operational conditions and must comply with stringent military standards, qualification regimes, and customer‑specific certification requirements.

As a Senior Systems Engineer N3XT Interceptor C‑UAS, you own the system‑level certification and qualification perspective from early concept through operational deployment. You ensure that system architecture, requirements, and technical evidence meet defense customer expectations, regulatory constraints, and formal acceptance processes.

This role requires deep experience in military or safety‑critical systems, strong systems engineering judgment, and the confidence to challenge designs, requirements, and readiness claims when certification or qualification evidence is insufficient.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Ensure that complex autonomous C‑UAS interceptor systems are certifiable, qualifiable, and acceptable to military and governmental customers long before operational deployment.

• Owning the system‑level certification and qualification strategy for N3XT Interceptor C‑UAS systems

• Translating operational customer requirements, safety constraints, and regulatory requirements into a robust system architecture and requirement set

• Defining certification baselines, compliance matrices, and qualification plans aligned with military customer expectations and governmental acceptance processes

• Ensuring alignment with applicable military, aerospace, and safety standards such as STANAG, VG‑Norms, and ISO / IEC norms

• Coordinating verification, validation, and qualification activities across software, hardware, and system levels

• Supporting simulation, model‑based systems engineering, and ground, environmental, and flight test campaigns

• Identifying, assessing, and managing certification and qualification risks, gaps, and deviations

• Acting as the technical interface to certification authorities, qualification boards, auditors, and customer representatives

• Reviewing and approving certification‑relevant documentation including system requirements, architectures, compliance evidence, and qualification reports
