We are looking for a Systems Engineer to join our high‑performing team. In this position, you will play a key role in the design, development, integration, and deployment of advanced systems that support complex naval aviation platforms and technologies. Our team is responsible for systems engineering leadership, planning, analysis, and requirements development, supporting aircraft system development, shipboard integration efforts, and innovative enabling technologies.

This role emphasizes ensuring systems meet all performance, safety, and compatibility requirements across the full system lifecycle.

• Lead and oversee technical efforts to translate stakeholder requirements into efficient, lifecycle‑optimized system solutions.
• Provide technical leadership and integration oversight to multidisciplinary teams spanning systems, test, cybersecurity, safety, hardware, and software.
• Coordinate and manage internal and external system interfaces to ensure interoperability and optimal performance.
• Develop system architectures, select components, and plan integration activities to satisfy all technical and operational requirements.
• Ensure system designs remain aligned with functional and physical requirements across hardware, software, data, and infrastructure domains.
• Provide technical guidance and direction to cross‑functional teams, including systems, hardware, software, test, cybersecurity, and safety disciplines.
• Apply advanced systems engineering expertise to major defense acquisition programs in accordance with the DoD 5000 Acquisition Framework.
• Plan, support, and execute technical reviews and key acquisition milestones (e.g., SRR, PDR, Milestone A), ensuring full compliance and technical rigor.
• Develop and contribute to technical guidance, program documentation, and decision support materials, including white papers, technical assessments, and decision memoranda.
• Collaborate with diverse stakeholders—engineering, logistics, manufacturing, and program leadership—to resolve complex, multi‑objective technical challenges.
• Participate in core program activities such as risk and configuration management, trade studies, technical reviews, and modeling and simulation efforts.
• Support ACAT I programs across all phases of the acquisition lifecycle.
• Perform system architecture development, component selection, integration planning, and technical risk analysis.
• Develop, implement, and track risk mitigation strategies to maintain program stability and performance.
• Prepare, review, and maintain technical artifacts including ECPs, engineering reports, drawings, white papers, and program briefings.
• Document technical solutions with consideration for cost, schedule, and performance constraints.
• Oversee system and subsystem integration, testing, and evaluation activities.
• Conduct performance verification, validation, and analysis to confirm operational requirements are met.
• Author and review detailed technical documentation such as specifications, test plans, and engineering analyses.
• Coordinate and interface with stakeholders across program offices, fleet users, contractors, and industry partners.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to senior leadership and non‑technical decision‑makers.
• Foster collaboration across engineering, logistics, test, and acquisition organizations.
• Provide regular status updates, technical briefings, and progress reports to program management and key stakeholders.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Systems, Electrical/Computer, or Industrial Engineering preferred).

• 3–10 years of experience as a Systems Engineer, preferably within DoD.

• Experience with CAMEO.
• Experience with DoD Foreign Military Sales (FMS).
• Experience with the Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) process.
• Experience integrating new hardware/systems on naval platforms.
• Proficiency in Microsoft products (Word, Excel, Power BI).
• Experience with JIRA application.
• Experience with process and review Requests for Engineering Investigation (REIs).
