The Role

The ADTS Senior Engineer provides subject matter expertise supporting the MAST system, with a focus on hardware and software engineering activities. This role supports system engineering lifecycle efforts including analysis, troubleshooting, and verification activities associated with the ADTS test bench. You'll collaborate with platform stakeholders to maintain integration schedules, evaluate system requirements, and ensure technical solutions align with program objectives. The position requires strong analytical capability, hands-on engineering experience, and the ability to operate effectively within structured engineering and acquisition processes.

Why DSE

DSE doesn't just ask for your experience, it rewards it. DSE's PTO program is experience-based rather than tenure-based, meaning the relevant industry experience you bring with you can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, rather than starting over at the bottom like you would at most employers. It's a rare structure in this industry, where most companies only reward the tenure you earn after you join, not the years of expertise you bring with you.

That same philosophy carries through the rest of the benefits package:

• Starting salary range: $130,000 to $180,000 annually
• 100% company-paid medical and dental premiums for employees (50% for dependents)
• 401(k) with up to a 4% company match
• Fully paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance, no cost to you
• Employer-funded FSA plus HRA contributions toward your deductible
• Experience-based PTO: your prior relevant experience can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, plus the option to purchase additional PTO
• 11 paid holidays (6 national, 5 floating)
• Tuition reimbursement to support continued professional growth
