Contract Length: 12–16 Weeks (Potential for Extension)
Pay Range: $50-75/hr
Start Date: ASAP
Location: Onsite (within 2-hour radius of US Eastern hub)
About the Opportunity:
Our client, a leader in Advanced Systems Engineering/Robotics, is looking for a skilled Systems Engineer / Process Coach to join their team for a 12–16 week engagement. This project is critical to elevating the team's systems engineering process maturity while executing core technical tasks. The ideal candidate will act as a hybrid "Coach/Systems Engineer." This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly. (Higher rates are open for candidates with exact, high-level skillsets.)
Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
- Guiding the team and executing tasks to elevate the current, low-maturity systems engineering processes.
- Serving as the technical lead and hands-on contributor for systems execution.
- Leading the effort in writing, documenting, and managing comprehensive system needs and requirements with exceptional precision.
- Articulating complex technical requirements and concepts to a team with varying levels of systems maturity.
- Ensuring technical execution aligns with project goals while maintaining flexibility and adaptability in a changing environment.
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
- Experience as a seasoned engineer in Systems Engineering, or early-career with a Master's degree and high potential.
- Deep expertise in writing needs and requirements. This isn't a learning role—you must be highly skilled and passionate about this key competency.
- Formal training and a degree in Systems Engineering (graduates of the MIT SDM program are highly preferred).
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
- Strong communication skills to effectively articulate technical requirements and act as a mentor/coach to the project team.
- Adaptability and flexibility to thrive in a fast-changing work environment.
