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.
