Build bold. Deliver impact. Win together.

At General Dynamics Mission Systems Canada, we are not just engineering technology, we are shaping the future of defence and security. Our teams design and deliver advanced, mission‑critical solutions that enhance national security, strengthen communities, and protect the people we serve.

If you are looking for meaningful work that contributes to a safer, more secure world, you’ll find purpose here. Every day, your skills will directly impact programs that matter.

We are looking for Senior Systems Engineering Analysts to join the Headquarters (HQ) Systems Engineering (SE) Team. As a member of the HQ SE team, you will work on the Canadian Armed Forces Land Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance - Targeting (C5

ISR‑T) program. The C5

ISR‑T system provides the Armed Forces with a highly integrated tactical system comprised of communication systems such as radios and telephony, core networking systems that connect intelligence and surveillance assets, battle management systems that enable streamlined operations, and information management systems that process large amounts and types of data. The HQ SE team plays a key role in defining the detailed design of the C5

ISR‑T Headquarters systems.

Based in either our Ottawa or Calgary facility, the ideal candidate will undertake a number of different initiatives, including, but not limited to, developing system requirements, modelling the system using MBSE techniques, and contextualizing the operational use cases of the system.

• Work with the customer, the Department of National Defence (DND), to elicit and define system requirements and desired capabilities.
• Develop activity, sequence, use case, and block definition diagrams to describe mission scenarios and use cases.
• Develop system requirements, interface specifications, and end‑to‑end information flows.
• Manage the traceability of higher‑level requirements to lower‑level requirements and to test artifacts.
• Utilize Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) techniques to develop Operational and System Views according to DNDAF and UAF.
• Support testing activities including verification and validation of requirements, reviewing test cases, and producing Verification Cross Reference Matrices (VCRMs).
• Present status updates and conduct reviews with internal and external stakeholders.
• Assume responsibility for deliverables and work products, and ensure you are meeting program commitments and achieving program milestones.
