Systems Engineer - Level 4

Description

You will be the Systems Engineer Staff for the Simulation & System Labs (SSL) Team which is responsible for managing multi‑spectral lab stimulator procurement activities across Lines of Business used in the development of real‑time simulation systems.

As the Systems Engineer Staff you will be responsible for serving as a technical bridge between simulation lab teams and external hardware suppliers, ensuring stimulator systems meet program requirements.

• Procure Electronic Warfare (EW), RADAR, Communications, Navigation, Identification (CNI), and/or Electro‑Optical Infrared (EOIR) stimulator subsystems.
• Develop subsystem requirements and translate laboratory customer needs into clear specifications for suppliers.
• Manage requirements change implementation between internal engineering teams and external product suppliers.
• Support system integration and verification of new capabilities in hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HITL) simulation environments.
• Plan component obsolescence, resolve anomalies, and develop proposals and requests for proposals.

We are committed to supporting your work‑life balance and overall well‑being, offering flexible scheduling options.

You thrive at the intersection of lab and supplier, engineering depth and program execution. You are technically sharp, trusted by teammates to ask the right questions in design reviews, and capable of translating insights into actionable lab specifications. You take ownership beyond your immediate scope, spot gaps before they become issues, and manage competing priorities without losing detail. Your communication is precise, whether writing requirements, presenting schedules, or having informal conversations with program leads.

A strong technical foundation, curiosity to learn, and a collaborative instinct define you.
