System Integration Engineer - F35 - Level 2

Our Software Integration Team drives software integration, troubleshooting, and debugging for the F‑35 and ADP Skunk works Mission Systems. We play a pivotal role in delivering software that’s ready for the warfighter.

As a System Integration Engineer, you’ll guide the technology development lifecycle—from system and software design through automation tooling and infrastructure enhancements. You’ll work across a variety of host environments, including:

• Aircraft flight‑software
• Simulated mission systems
• Laboratory setups that combine constructive simulations, physical hardware, and system‑level models

Your core responsibilities include:

• Support Third‑Party Certifications – Coordinate and manage certification activities with external vendors, ensuring compliance with MIL‑STD and other applicable standards.
• Manage Service License Agreements (SLAs) – Track, negotiate, and maintain SLAs and associated documentation for all third‑party software and hardware components.
• Approve Requirements & Documentation – Review and approve system‑level requirements, design documents, and test reports for completeness and traceability.
• Develop & Maintain System Documentation – Author and update system architecture diagrams, configuration baselines, and certification dossiers.
• Perform Light Scripting & Automation – Write modest scripts (e.g., Python) to automate routine validation, data‑extraction, and reporting tasks.
• Maintain and Troubleshoot CI/CD Pipelines – Ensure build and deployment pipelines support system‑level integration and certification artifacts.
• Support Virtual Development Labs & Aircraft‑Software Processes – Aid in the setup, operation, and sustainment of virtual labs that emulate flight‑software and mission‑system environments.
• Design and Implement Automation Tools – Leverage open‑source, commercial, and in‑house solutions to streamline system integration and certification workflows.
• Participate in Agile Ceremonies – Contribute to daily scrums, sprint reviews, and technical demos, representing system‑engineering perspectives.

• A proven team player who thrives in high‑performing, multi‑program environments.
• An effective communicator with strong written and verbal skills.
• Comfortable engaging with customers and stakeholders across multiple organizations.

The successful candidate will be a member of a high‑performing multi‑program team and must have demonstrated effective communication skills. The position will require frequent inter‑organizational customer interactions.
