Seeking a Systems Engineer to design, integrate, and maintain complex systems across their lifecycle to ensure performance, reliability, and security requirements are met. The role involves requirements analysis, system architecture development, integration and testing, risk management, and coordination across multidisciplinary teams. The ideal candidate ensures systems align with technical, operational, and customer requirements while supporting continuous improvement and compliance with applicable standards.

• Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) – Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service‑oriented Architecture (SOA), etc.
• Contribute to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
• Assist with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components.
• Coordinate the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross‑discipline coordination.
• Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations.
