ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Rheinmetall's U.S. organizations include American Rheinmetall Systems, American Rheinmetall Vehicles, American Rheinmetall Munitions and American Rheinmetall Defense. The operating companies have established engineering and production capabilities that allow them to modify existing products and develop new solutions that meet the priority requirements of their US customers. These products consist of, but are not limited to, game-changing solutions for next-generation vehicles, innovations for increased soldier lethality, and advanced high-tech munitions.

Description

At American Rheinmetall, we believe in satisfied customers and healthy, engaged employees. We listen to our customers and provide them with solutions – whether that’s high quality parts or cutting edge technology, our nation’s Warfighters and farmers alike depend on us to deliver. Being part of the Rheinmetall team offers a challenging and fulfilling career while being an important part of a mission larger than ourselves.

Our know-how is on almost every major combat vehicle in the Army, from the legendary Abrams Main Battle Tank to the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and the XM30 we are designing to replace it. Our handiwork empowers and protects the members of our U.S. Armed Forces and helps to ensure their safe return home. With the same skill and precision that we make tracks for armored vehicles, we also make the tracks that move the largest tractors, combines, and grain carts across fields all over the United States, growing the food that feeds us all.

Over the past two years, American Rheinmetall has added more than 200 employees to number over 1,400 strong. We have won over $200 million in new business and expect to exceed $600 million in revenue this year. If you are interested in joining a fast-growing team for a meaningful career that directly supports our Warfighters and farmers, we encourage you to apply today!

Job Summary:

The Systems Engineering Senior Architect is a central role within the Systems Engineering team, focused on ensuring all aspects of a vehicle architecture are captured in requirements, derived lower-level requirements, and interfaces within Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) best practices. The Senior Architect will guide the Systems Engineering architects and subsystem engineers towards shared and complete capture of the system. Key responsibilities include identifying engineering analysis necessary for requirements and architecture delivery to subsystem teams, aligning understanding between engineering teams on how to capture system content, and then ensuring the team has captured requirements, structure, behavior, and parametrics in a well-defined easy-to-understand context. The Senior Architect is highly capable technically, and able to communicate diplomatically across the engineering team to communicate, organize, and then ensure realization of key vehicle development efforts within an MBSE framework.
