Systems Engineer (f/m/d)

WORKING AT YURI IS LIKE: YOUR MISSION: At  Yuri , we develop innovative systems for microgravity research and spaceflight, enabling new applications in life sciences and beyond. Our projects combine advanced technologies across mechanical, electrical, software, life-science and operational domains and are designed for challenging environments such as the ISS, free flyers, and future commercial space stations. We are looking for a  Systems Engineer who enjoys understanding the bigger picture, turning complex customer and mission needs into robust technical solutions, and bringing multidisciplinary teams together to deliver flight-ready systems. As a Systems Engineer at Yuri, you will take technical ownership of the system throughout its development lifecycle. You will work closely with project management, engineering disciplines, product assurance, customers, suppliers, and external partners to ensure that the system is consistently defined, designed, integrated, tested, and verified. YOUR TASKS: Systems Engineering & Technical Leadership: Lead the technical development of the system and act as the central technical authority across all engineering disciplines. Translate customer, mission, and operational needs into system requirements, architectures, and technical solutions. System Architecture & Requirements: Develop and maintain the system architecture, including functional and physical decomposition and allocation to mechanical, electrical/electronic, software, and other subsystems. Own the system requirements lifecycle, including decomposition, allocation, traceability, verification, and change management. Multidisciplinary Engineering: Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams, align subsystem development with system-level objectives, and resolve technical conflicts and system-level issues across the complete system. Technical Decision-Making & Trade-offs: Drive technical decisions and trade-offs, balancing system performance, reliability, safety, cost, schedule, manufacturability, and operational constraints. Interfaces & Integration: Define and manage internal and external interfaces and ensure technical consistency across the complete system. Coordinate system integration activities and ensure effective interaction between subsystems, suppliers, and external partners. Verification & Validation: Define and coordinate system-level integration, verification, and validation strategies, including test planning, requirements verification, and requirements closure. Technical Risk & Product Assurance: Identify and manage technical risks, dependencies, and design drivers. Work closely with Product Assurance and engineering specialists to define and implement appropriate mitigation measures. COTS & Supplier Engineering: Support the selection and integration of COTS components and subsystems. Provide technical direction to suppliers and partners and ensure compliance with system-level requirements. Design Reviews &…
