Job description

Orano USA is seeking a Senior Systems Integration & Interface Engineer to support the IKE project, a complex, multi‑disciplinary engineering effort requiring rigorous interface definition, integration planning, and cross‑functional coordination. This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering, requirements management, and multi‑disciplinary integration. You will serve as a technical leader ensuring that interfaces across mechanical, electrical, software, and partner systems are clearly defined, controlled, and successfully integrated throughout the project lifecycle.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the development, documentation, and management of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and interface requirements.
  • Coordinate technical interfaces across mechanical, electrical, software, and external partner systems.
  • Facilitate integration planning, risk identification, and issue resolution across engineering teams.
  • Ensure interface requirements are traceable, testable, and aligned with system‑level architecture.
  • Support system architecture development, requirements decomposition, and verification planning.
  • Serve as the technical point of contact for interface‑related discussions with internal teams, suppliers, and customers.
  • Drive consistency, clarity, and configuration control across all interface artifacts.
  • Contribute to integration strategies, system-of-systems analyses, and design reviews.

Our Full-Time Benefits

  • Competitive compensation 
  • Health, Dental, and Vision insurance – with generous employer contributions 
  • 401(k) with employer matching and contribution amounts 
  • Life insurance and Short- and Long-Term Disability insurance provided by the company
  • Generous Paid Time Off and holiday schedules 
  • Numerous Training and Development opportunities 
  • and more…   

Ideal qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related scientific discipline.
  • 10+ years of engineering experience, including work involving system interfaces, integration, or cross‑disciplinary coordination.
  • Experience developing or managing interface requirements, ICDs, or integration plans.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work across diverse engineering domains.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 15+ years of engineering experience, ideally including systems engineering responsibilities.
  • Experience with system architecture frameworks, interface management tools (Cameo, SysML, DOORS, 3D CAD tools), and configuration management.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead integration efforts across complex, multi‑stakeholder environments.

Who Thrives in This Role

Because interface engineering is a skillset developed through experience—not a formal academic path—we welcome candidates with diverse engineering backgrounds who have repeatedly worked at the boundaries between systems. If you have a track record of making complex systems work together, coordinating across disciplines, and owning interface definitions, we want to hear from you.
