Battelle delivers when others can’t. We conduct research and development, manage national laboratories, design and manufacture products and deliver critical services for our clients—whether they are a multi-national corporation, a small start-up or a government agency.

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.

Job Summary We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to support the design, integration, evaluation, and transition of complex technical capabilities for government and mission-focused customers. This role will apply systems engineering expertise, technical leadership, and project execution experience to support system architecture, requirements development, interoperability, technical analysis, test planning, and operational integration.

The ideal candidate brings strong systems thinking, experience across hardware and software environments, and the ability to solve complex engineering challenges in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. This position includes both hands-on technical execution and customer-facing delivery through analysis, integration planning, technical reporting, and stakeholder coordination.

This role requires domestic and international travel, including occasional multi-day or weeklong trips, to support customer meetings, site visits, technical reviews, capability assessments, and key program activities. Travel may be more frequent during startup phases or critical delivery periods.

What Will Help You Succeed Strong systems thinking, engineering judgment, and problem-solving ability.

Comfort working through ambiguity, evolving requirements, and multidisciplinary technical challenges.

Strong organizational skills with the ability to balance technical depth and project execution.

A collaborative, proactive approach to technical leadership, client engagement, and team support.

Responsibilities Systems Engineering and Technical Integration Apply multidisciplinary engineering expertise to design, integrate, and evaluate complex technical systems.

Support system architectures, technical concepts, interface definitions, and integration approaches across hardware, software, communications, sensors, networks, and data systems.

Translate operational and technical needs into requirements, specifications, and implementation plans.

Support design, build, integration, and documentation activities for assigned system elements and technical components.

Technical Analysis and Problem Solving Select appropriate engineering and analytical methods for complex technical problems.

Compile, evaluate, and interpret design, test, and performance data to support engineering decisions.

Assess system constraints, performance considerations, risks, tradeoffs, and implementation options.

Identify technical issues, analyze root causes, and develop practical, innovative solutions.

Requirements, Testing, and Evaluation Support requirements collection, decomposition, analysis, traceability, and validation.

Develop engineering artifacts such as requirements matrices, interface documents, architecture views, trade studies, test plans, and technical assessments.

Support prototype, pilot, experimentation, test, and evaluation planning and execution.

Define technical success criteria, test objectives, data collection needs, and evaluation methods.

Document findings, lessons learned, recommendations, and corrective actions to support refinement and transition.

Technical Leadership and Project Support Lead technical projects or major project phases within schedule and budget constraints.

Provide technical direction to engineers and support staff assigned to project work.
