Talascend is currently seeking a Systems Integration Engineer for a contract opportunity with our client in Phoenix, Arizona.

Overview

As a core member of the engineering and systems team, you will design, implement, and maintain the IBM ELM/Jazz platform to support safety-critical aerospace workflows and drive a Digital Thread initiative. You will support tool development for managing and tracking RBE activities, ensuring seamless compliance and end-to-end traceability from aircraft-level requirements through manufacturing, software, and hardware verification.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain integrations between IBM ELM and enterprise systems (e.g., PLM, CAD, ERP, MES) to form a unified Digital Thread.
  • Build linked data pipelines across tools using OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration), REST APIs, and specialized middleware.
  • Define data federation and synchronization strategies to ensure "single source of truth" visibility across the entire product lifecycle.
  • Establish automated configuration management links between systems engineering data and physical product structures.
  • Align the IBM ELM platform workflow with ARP4754 guidelines for civil aircraft development.
  • Map and track development assurance levels (DAL A through E) across all system architecture elements.
  • Prepare automated traceability and verification matrices to support compliance audits and SOI reviews.
  • Administer and configure the IBM ELM Suite (DOORS Next Gen, EWM, ETM, Rhapsody, GCM, and JTS).
  • Configure project areas, access rights, permissions, and workflow templates.
  • Troubleshoot system performance, resolve configuration conflicts, and maintain platform availability.
  • Partner with Quality Assurance (QA) to align Engineering Test Management (ETM) with RBE workflows.
  • Manage change requests, defect tracking, and sprint planning within Engineering Workflow Management (EWM).
  • Ensure development and systems data comply with regulatory, industry, and security standards (e.g., ARP4754, DO-178C, DO-254).
  • Develop automation scripts, plugins, and integrations using REST APIs, OSLC, and JavaScript/Python.
  • Design and maintain automated reporting templates and compliance dashboards.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of experience in software and systems engineering tooling.
  • Proven experience integrating IBM ELM with major PLM systems such as Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, or Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • Strong practical experience with ARP4754A/B frameworks, including interaction with DO-178C and DO-254.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise in the IBM ELM ecosystem (certifications like IBM Certified Specialist are a plus).
  • Familiarity with Safety-Critical Lifecycle Management, Agile, SAFe, and Waterfall delivery models.
  • Experience with Requirements Based Engineering, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), OSLC integration, and scripting/automation.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills.
