Build mission-ready tech that protects the nation.

As the lead Systems Engineer, you will lead the systems engineering team supporting a nationwide network of simulators and modeling capabilities for unit exercises. You will set technical direction for your team, prioritize work, and mentor systems engineers in requirements development, system architecture, integration, testing, and lifecycle management. Working with other engineering teams, you will coordinate interfaces, resolve technical dependencies, and ensure integrated solutions meet operational requirements.

You will translate operational needs into actionable system requirements and engineering tasks. You will guide your team in developing and maintaining technical baselines, evaluating design alternatives, and planning integration, verification, and validation activities. In collaboration with sof tware, network, hardware, and cybersecurity engineers, you will support system improvements, troubleshoot complex issues, and manage engineering changes across geographically distributed environments.

You will provide hands-on technical leadership within the systems engineering team, reviewing designs, developing team capabilities, and communicating progress, recommendations, and risks to stakeholders and program leadership. You will coordinate your team’s contributions to modernization initiatives, including automation, infrastructure as code, and containerized environments. This role requires an experience d systems engineer who can lead by example, work effectively with other engineering teams, and provide onsite technical support when needed.
