Roles & Specialties
Using a holistic approach allows systems engineers to study and optimize how subsystems interrelate and how they work over time within the context of large systems, as opposed to traditional analysis.
This systems approach can be applied to many industries, but it is quite irreplaceable in aerospace and defense. They can use the same method to model systems, run simulations, and analyze data and feedback to optimize efficiency further.
In such stringent and critical environments, leaders who can grasp the whole picture and visualize the best outcome right from the planning stage are necessary. Let’s work together to find the right professional for you.
System analysis
Analyzing system requirements and defining design specifications for various aerospace subsystems.
They gather data and real-world feedback to assess their systems and the processes that work together to integrate them.
Systems integration
Ensuring smooth integration and harmonization of different subsystems creates a cohesive aerospace system.
Systems engineers may focus on optimizing, modifying, and planning workflow and contingencies.
Simulation and testing
System engineers conduct simulations, testing, and modeling to validate performance and foresee any potential issues.
They also use system analysis to model and simulate new overarching systems.
Innovation and research
With an awareness and expertise in the latest technological advancements, systems engineers often integrate and reintegrate new technologies and methodologies to keep current within the dynamic aerospace & defense industry.
Safety and compliance
Ensuring that aerospace systems adhere to strict safety standards and regulatory requirements.
Their understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of aerospace and defense allows them to craft purposeful designs that put the safety and security of people first.
Collaboration
Systems engineers collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, electrical, software, and other specialists, to achieve successful system integration.
Their expertise is vital to a clear project overview and management of its components. Systems engineers are also in charge of communicating the key aspects of systems to its stakeholders.

Mission systems analysis
Systems engineers provide technical expertise in ensuring missions and projects have well-developed plans and strategies with the correct systems and contingencies in place.
They ensure a focused, transparent environment within applicable scopes and are accountable for managing certain aspects of the projects in the context of larger systems. They also work closely with other stakeholders to maintain clarity and alignment within each component or subsystem.
Performance and optimization
Systems engineers analyze existing systems and their performance to adapt them to suit changing needs.
Critical to grasping intertwined and overarching systems within a project or mission, systems engineers paint clear pictures of the best steps moving forward.
Acquisition analysis and planning
Teams must often integrate newer systems into existing frameworks to adapt to newer technologies, components, and methodologies.
Systems engineers ensure that the costs, schedules, technology, economic aspects, and all other aspects of an acquisition are accounted for.
Model-Based Systems Engineering
MBSE, or Model-based systems engineering, is a formalized methodology combining models, systems design, and systems engineering. It aims to replace document-centric system engineering to mitigate developmental risks and establish a single source of truth for the system.
By its nature, this process improves design security, and organizations can better grasp future scenarios and keep track of system complexities.
Pioneering change and discovery
Defense systems
Defense systems are reliant on systems engineers more than ever as geopolitical situations unravel and international relations evolve. Systems engineers may have to manage the supply chain, create extensive defense networks, or create emergency or contingency plans. Systems engineers can design systems that can provide real-time situational awareness, early warning capabilities, and rapid response mechanisms.
Supply chain management
Systems engineers can use models and simulations to check the integrity of existing supply chains, as well as develop new ones that can address many issues such as trade restrictions, certifications, sourcing and other tasks. They are also essential in maintaining supply chains and making sure there are no disruptions or potential issues down the road.
Space industry
The advanced capabilities required to make many space industries possible require the overarching knowledge and understanding that systems engineers have. They are able to develop and mesh together several different orbital and suborbital devices.
Autonomous flight
Autonomous flight relies heavily on strictly engineered systems to ensure safety, efficiency and true autonomy that can react to any given situation.
Shaping the
future
Systems engineering allows us to reliably use integrated systems in our products, services, and processes.
Reducing costs: Systems engineers can build models and modify or create systems that are cost-effective and with reduced risks. They are essential to coming up with ways to integrate technologies without disrupting or degrading the delivery of products and services.
Better and faster: Models-based systems engineering can jumpstart the switch to better integration and ongoing modifications to existing processes – even the supply chain. This work will create hyper effective systems that can adjust and communicate on a deeper level, allowing us to be safer and more connected than ever.
Reduced environmental effect: Apart from improvements in efficiency, systems engineers are also doing emerging work in drastically reducing the effect of byproducts and waste from many processes, especially in manufacturing.
Autonomous systems: Systems engineers have the unique role of being able to combine various autonomous systems to create overarching, autonomous systems which can have many various applications such as in defense systems.
Wider and smarter space exploration: The budding space industry will need to rely on complex systems to ensure safe missions and a comfortable way to explore outer space.
The challenge around hiring systems engineers
Systems engineers often need to lead teams, communicate vision, and focus on outputs rather than inputs. On top of this, they also must be knowledgeable in many other disciplines, and a gap in any of these skills – soft or technical – can create a lot of headaches and bottlenecks in the recruitment process.
Fierce competition in the market for these talents adds a new layer of challenge to hiring them, as professionals with peculiar qualifications and training are hard to come by. Especially since teams must find a professional who is also equipped and aligned with learning new sets of competencies and skills.
In a field where many individuals of varying backgrounds merge into one, there is also a lack of uniformity in the education and training of candidates. This taps into valuable resources, such as time, money, and effort better allocated to other important tasks.
In an environment that is highly regulated, there is little margin for error and stakeholders must work together to ensure that progress towards mission success is not halted simply due to lack of skilled personnel. Mitigating risks and optimizing systems need a critical thinker capable of pushing the team in the right direction. We specialize in finding candidates that fit your varying needs.
We consider the candidate, and how their other talents and interests might align and be a positive force in your workforce. Their personalities, work ethic, training, background and history are determining factors that can make-or-break a team’s mission. The organizations they’re part of, their passions, hobbies – these are traits that can add intangible value to your project and mission, and their fit in regards to your organization’s culture.
With incoming ambitious innovations that make many manufacturing ideas more and more a reality, there is limitless room for growth in the industry. Likewise, there is an increasing level of competition needed to keep up with the advancements. Needless to say, this makes it even more difficult to source talent with potential and fundamental skills critical to your project.
