System Engineer

At Adaptic, Systems Engineers help turn complex mission needs into solutions that work. Supporting the DoD and Intelligence Community, you’ll work across the system lifecycle—helping define what needs to be built, shaping how it should work, and ensuring the final solution delivers against mission requirements.

We’re looking for a Systems Engineer who can connect the big picture with the technical details, working alongside customers, developers, and project teams to translate operational needs into effective technical solutions.

You’ll support systems from early concepts through development, integration, testing, deployment, and sustainment. Day-to-day, that can look like:

• Defining and documenting Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), operational/system requirements, and use cases
• Translating mission needs into clear technical and system requirements
• Supporting high-level system design and solution architecture
• Defining system/component performance and interface requirements
• Developing installation, integration, and acceptance test plans
• Coordinating with customers, project teams, and partner organizations to ensure solutions satisfy requirements
• Evaluating engineering processes and work products to identify opportunities for improvement
• Supporting systems throughout their lifecycle, from conception and development through testing, deployment, operations, maintenance, and support
• Helping define and communicate a shared technical and architectural vision across product teams

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering + 3 years of relevant experience; OR
• Master’s degree in Engineering + 1 year of relevant experience; OR
• Doctoral degree in Engineering with no experience required
• For a relevant technical degree such as Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics:
  Bachelor’s + 3 years of relevant experience, or Master’s/Doctoral degree + 1 year of relevant experience
• Relevant experience must involve engineering systems across their lifecycle
