Sr Systems Engineer

Your responsibilities will include developing complex system architectures within contextual modeling platforms, guiding them from operational concept through preliminary and detailed design, simulation, and test using progressive tools. As a cross-functional engineer, you will take system-level ownership of new products and processes throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring they meet rigorous performance and reliability standards. You will collaborate closely with project engineers, external customers, and field-based employees to integrate various technological components into cohesive and effective defense mechanisms.
Additionally, you will work alongside our software team to develop and field software for these systems, ensuring seamless integration and functionality. You will also collaborate with internal hardware design engineers, including mechanical and electrical engineers, to ensure that all components work together harmoniously. Your ability to bridge the gap between software and hardware, and coordinate efforts among different engineering disciplines, will be crucial to the success of our projects.  

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects, including fielded systems, new developmental contracts, and internal research and development initiatives. This variety not only ensures that your work will be dynamic and engaging but also allows you to contribute to both the immediate needs and future advancements of our defense systems.
