Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Systems Engineer to support the development of advanced space, defense, and mission-critical systems. This role focuses heavily on the left side of the Systems Engineering V-model, including requirements development, architecture definition, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), trade studies, and early lifecycle technical planning activities. The ideal candidate will have experience working across complex systems and systems-of-systems environments, collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop, document, and deliver innovative solutions that support national security and space-related missions.

This position offers the opportunity to influence system architectures from concept through design, lead technical engagements with customers and partners, and contribute to next-generation capabilities supporting critical government programs.

• Lead systems engineering efforts for complex systems and systems-of-systems.

• Drive activities on the left side of the V-model, including concept development, requirements analysis, decomposition, allocation, and architecture definition.

• Develop and manage system-level technical baselines.

• Perform engineering trade studies and technical evaluations.

• Ensure solutions align with end-user mission objectives and operational needs.

• Develop and maintain system models using MBSE methodologies and tools.

• Support digital engineering initiatives and model-driven system development.

• Maintain traceability between requirements, system architecture, interfaces, and verification activities.

• Author, manage, validate, and maintain system requirements.

• Establish requirements traceability across all levels of the system architecture.

• Support verification planning and validation strategy development.

• Ensure technical solutions satisfy customer and program requirements.

• Lead technical execution across engineering teams.

• Promote engineering rigor, repeatable processes, thorough documentation, and quality standards.

• Support risk identification, mitigation planning, and technical decision-making.

• Serve as a primary technical interface with customers, subcontractors, vendors, and industry partners.

• Support technical discussions, design reviews, and program execution activities.

• Build trusted relationships through transparent communication and collaborative problem solving.

• Lead preparation and presentation of major technical milestone reviews, including System Requirements Reviews (SRR), Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR), and Critical Design Reviews (CDR).

• Develop and maintain engineering documentation including Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Capability Development Documents (CDDs), technical drawings, configuration-controlled engineering artifacts, and System Bills of Material (BOMs).

• Support rigorous configuration management processes throughout the program lifecycle.

• Identify emerging technologies and engineering approaches.

• Support internal research and development efforts.

• Contribute technical concepts, prototypes, and capability enhancements supporting future programs.

• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers.

• Bachelor's Degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or related technical field.

• 5+ years of Systems Engineering experience supporting complex technical programs.

• Strong experience working on the left side of the Systems Engineering V-model.

• Hands-on experience with digital engineering methodologies.

• Experience with MBSE tools such as Cameo, Magic Draw, Enterprise Architect, or similar platforms.

• Experience developing and managing system requirements, requirements decomposition, requirements allocation, and…
