Full job description
The Senior Systems Engineer leads the design, integration, and optimization of complex, enterprise‑scale systems in a highly regulated government environment. They serve as a technical authority for translating strategic requirements into robust architectures, overseeing system performance, and guiding junior engineers through best‑practice systems engineering processes. This role emphasizes advanced trade studies, risk management, and end‑to‑end lifecycle oversight, from requirements decomposition through deployment and sustainment.

Oversee requirements engineering activities, ensuring clear decomposition, allocation, and traceability from stakeholder needs through implementation, test, and operations.
Direct advanced trade studies and technical risk assessments, balancing performance, security, interoperability, and lifecycle cost to inform executive and program‑level decisions.
Design and review verification and validation strategies, including test plans, procedures, and acceptance criteria for large‑scale, mission‑critical solutions.
Provide technical leadership during system integration, coordinating across hardware, software, and network teams to resolve complex defects and interoperability issues.
Conduct deep‑dive performance and reliability analyses, leveraging monitoring data and modeling techniques to identify systemic bottlenecks and drive optimization.
Establish and refine systems engineering standards, templates, and workflows, promoting consistent documentation, configuration management, and governance across projects.
Mentor journeyman and junior engineers, providing guidance on modeling, requirements management tools, and structured problem‑solving in high‑consequence environments.
Collaborate with security and compliance stakeholders to ensure architectures, access controls, and data flows align with government policies and high‑assurance requirements.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience.
Typically 8–12 years of progressively responsible systems engineering experience, including leadership of complex, mission‑critical programs.
Demonstrated experience leading system architecture and design efforts, including subsystem integration, interface definition, and resiliency planning for enterprise platforms.
Proven track record overseeing requirements engineering, including decomposition, allocation, traceability, and alignment to verification and validation strategies.
Experience conducting advanced trade studies, risk assessments, and performance analyses to guide executive and program‑level decisions.
Strong background coordinating system integration across hardware, software, and network teams, resolving complex technical issues in high‑consequence environments.
Ability to obtain and maintain any required background investigation for work in a U.S.‑only staffing context; U.S. citizenship required.
Preferred Qualifications
INCOSE CSEP or equivalent senior systems engineering credential.
Prior experience leading systems engineering on classified or Top Secret programs.
Demonstrated expertise with enterprise‑scale MBSE, requirements management, and configuration control tools.
Experience establishing systems engineering standards, templates, and workflows across multi‑project or portfolio environments.
