About this role
SkyGrid, a Wisk Company, exists to open the sky for autonomous flight. Based in Austin, Texas, SkyGrid builds ground-based high-assurance third-party services to enable the safe operations and airspace integration of highly automated and autonomous aircraft. SkyGrid also acts as a key operational nexus for advanced air mobility, integrating and managing data, infrastructure, access, and traffic to support seamless and efficient air traffic services.
The SkyGrid team is looking for a Senior Systems Engineer (Surveillance) to lead and support surveillance system activities across the company portfolio. In this role, you will play a critical part in defining, architecting, and integrating SkyGrid’s ground-based surveillance architectures across the Systems Engineering “V”, including the development of requirements, use cases, and functional architectures for technologies such as Detect and Avoid (DAA), ADS-B, Radar, and Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS/ACAS).
This role directly supports certification, safety, and verification & validation (V&V) planning while utilizing a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) paradigm throughout the system lifecycle. You will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, Integrated Product Team (IPT) leads, other systems engineers, program managers, and system architects. Success in this role requires a strong blend of surveillance technical domain expertise, system safety rigor, collaborative communication, and technical leadership. This role will report to the Systems Engineering Manager and while a hybrid workplace is preferred, it can be considered a fully remote role.
