**The Opportunity:**

Join our team as a System Engineer and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of complex hardware/software systems.

Your expertise will drive the design, development, and integration of systems that meet stringent performance, reliability, and compliance targets.

If you are motivated by ownership, measurable outcomes, and the challenge of delivering high-quality systems, we want to meet you.

**Responsibilities:**

+ In the role of System Engineer, you will manage system requirements, contribute to systems engineering documentation, and design solutions that meet requirements.
+ Responsibilities include coordinating cross-discipline activities, participating in review boards and teams, risk management, and translating strategic objectives into executable engineering plans.
+ You will also provide technical direction for the development and testing of complex hardware/software systems and communicate with executive leadership to facilitate informed decision-making.
+ Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure compatibility with defined system architectures (e.g., Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)).
+ Contribute to the development of systems engineering documentation (e.g., System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents).
+ Assist with the development of system and functional requirements derived from stakeholder needs and use cases.
+ Design system solutions that meet requirements and fulfill functional analysis.
+ Coordinate the resolution of action items from Change or Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination.
+ Participate in Engineering Review Boards (ERB) to address technical issues, provide insights on configuration management impacts, and contribute to the resolution of engineering challenges.
+ Participate in Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to design new capabilities based on development and operational considerations.
+ Identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with system development, ensuring compliance with risk management plans and stakeholder requirements.
+ Communicate complex systems engineering concepts, progress, risks, and mitigations to executive leadership to enable informed decisions.
+ Preserve system baseline integrity via change control, requirements traceability, and verification across the lifecycle.
+ Support the planning, test analysis, and system definition approval as part of Government authorization processes.
+ Provide technical direction for development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing complex hardware/software systems, including requirements analysis, system architecture, and end-to-end flow analysis.

**Qualifications:**

_Required:_

+ BA/BS degree in system engineering, computer science, information systems, engineering science, engineering management, or a related discipline from an accredited college or university.
+ Minimum of fourteen (14) years of hands-on software development experience on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.

Five (5) years of additional system engineering experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
+ Strong foundational knowledge of system architectures and frameworks.
+ Proven experience in developing and contributing to technical documentation.
+ Demonstrated ability to design and implement system solutions that meet complex requirements.
+ Experience in coordinating cross-functional teams and resolving technical issues.
+ Proficiency in risk management practices and compliance with industry standards.
+ Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
+ Experience in maintaining system integrity and supporting certification and accreditation processes.
+ Familiarity with the system engineering life cycle, including requirements, design, development, integration, testing, and deployment.
+ Experience scripting in Python, PowerShell, or Bash to automate analysis, integration, and test activities.
+ Experience with workload/project management tools (e.g., Jira).
+ Experience with Git-based version control and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines (e.g., GitHub or GitLab) to support automated build, test, and verification activities.
+ Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) to package tools, reproduce environments, and support integration/testing.
+ Must be a US citizen with an active Top Secret/SCI DoD Security clearance with polygraph.

_Desired:_

+ Certifications preferred but not required: Agile delivery (Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), Professional Scrum Developer (PSD), PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)) and security (CompTIA Security+, (ISC)² Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) or Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP)).
+ Experience applying security and compliance frameworks (e.g., ISO/IEC, NIST) and mapping controls to system requirements, architectures, interfaces, and verification/validation methods.
+ Experience with requirements and test traceability tools and compliance evidence management.
