Job Summary:

The Systems Engineering Lead provides technical leadership and execution oversight across the full systems engineering lifecycle for complex space and ground systems. This role is responsible for establishing disciplined, model-based engineering practices that strengthen architecture integrity, improve traceability, reduce risk, and enhance overall system quality. The Systems Engineering Lead ensures authoritative data, systems architecture, and model-based approaches are integrated throughout program execution, supporting mission success from concept through sustainment.

Please note, this position is contingent.

Key Responsibilities:

Systems Engineering Lifecycle Leadership
* Define, manage, and continuously improve the complete systems engineering lifecycle using authoritative data, systems architecture, and systems modeling to create efficient, low-risk processes that produce high-quality artifacts.

* Lead technical requirements development by codifying model-based systems engineering (MBSE) practices and designing test-driven requirements architectures that ensure full verification traceability.

* Lead the systems design process by decomposing systems into functional and logical architectures, identifying reusable components, and ensuring adherence to Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) principles.

* Oversee implementation activities by aligning execution to formal change management processes and maintaining current, authoritative design artifacts.
Integration, Verification & Validation
* Lead system integration efforts by developing data-driven and model-based interface control processes, incorporating automation where appropriate to verify subsystem and component compliance with interface designs.

* Architect and oversee verification activities, including unit, subsystem, integration, and end-to-end testing, ensuring test environments maintain operational parity.

* Lead validation planning and execution, including development of user acceptance strategies and coordination with customers and stakeholders.
Sustainment & Continuous Improvement
* Lead sustainment strategy development by designing repeatable maintenance processes and leveraging performance data to inform stakeholders of high-risk subsystems or components.

* Promote continuous engineering process improvement aligned with modern digital engineering and Dev Sec Ops  environments.

Qualifications:

* Clearance:
Active TS clearance with SCI eligibility required

* Education:

Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline required (Systems Engineering preferred). Master’s degree in an engineering discipline preferred.

* Required Skills:

* Minimum 10+ years executing systems engineering efforts for space systems.

* Minimum 3 years implementing Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices.

* Experience with cloud implementation, RMF compliance, Dev Sec Ops  practices, AI/ML automation, data analytics, Agile development methodologies, and Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

* Preferred

Skills:

* INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP).

* SysML modeling certifications (e.g., OCSMP).

* Strong leadership and organizational skills in highly dynamic, mission-driven environments.

* Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with customer counterparts and contractor teams.

* Ability to translate complex technical architectures into actionable engineering execution plans.

* Commitment to engineering rigor, traceability, and continuous process improvement.
Work Environment:
* Customer site (Albuquerque, NM)

* Occasional travel may be required
