Serve as the technical authority for system engineering milestones and oversee the full requirements lifecycle from development to verification. Lead configuration management, system integration, and the resolution of technical anomalies to maintain the program baseline.
Requires a STEM degree with 8-12+ years of experience depending on the degree level and an active US Government Secret clearance. Must have proven experience executing full Systems Engineering lifecycles and leading technical discussions with stakeholders.
