Junior Systems Engineering Analyst; New Grad

Build bold. Deliver impact. Win together.

At General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada, we’re not just engineering technology — we’re shaping the future of defence and security. Our teams design and deliver advanced, mission‑critical solutions that enhance national security, strengthen communities, and protect the people we serve.

If you’re looking for meaningful work that contributes to a safer, more secure world, you’ll find purpose here. Every day, your skills will directly impact programs that matter.

We are seeking Junior Systems Engineering Analysts to support the design, integration, and testing of advanced mission and communication systems used in land‑based defence environments. In this role, you will work within Agile, multidisciplinary teams on applied systems engineering problems involving requirements development, system architecture, integration, verification, and validation in complex operational environments. You will contribute directly to delivered system capabilities across the system development lifecycle, working alongside experienced engineers on real‑world solutions.

This posting supports multiple junior systems engineering opportunities beginning May 2026 and is well suited for recent or upcoming Engineering and Applied Science graduates.

• Participate in requirements elicitation, analysis, and documentation activities, including preparation of system and subsystem specifications.
• Develop, document, and review system designs, architectures, use cases, and internal and external interfaces with guidance from senior engineers.
• Support system architecture modelling, trade studies, and technical analyses to evaluate design options and system performance.
• Develop integration, verification, and validation plans, procedures, configurations, and expected outcomes in alignment with design documentation.
• Build, configure, and validate laboratory and field‑based integration and test environments.
• Execute formal and informal verification and validation activities; collect, analyze, and interpret test data and contribute to test reports.
• Develop and maintain automated or semi‑automated test tools and scripts to support system‑level verification and acceptance testing.
• Support integration, qualification, acceptance, and external validation test events, including customer demonstrations and field trials.
• Identify, investigate, document, and support resolution of system defects and integration issues.
• Collaborate closely with software, hardware, integration, test, and operations teams within an Integrated Product Team environment.
• Participate in Agile team ceremonies, including sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
