This position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge communications and defense technologies while working alongside talented engineering and program teams.
Military experience equivalency may substitute for some requirements.
Key Responsibilities:

• Capture, analyze, decompose, allocate, and trace system and subsystem requirements throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Design, develop, model, and document system architectures and subsystem solutions using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies.
• Develop system verification plans, test procedures, and validation activities to ensure compliance with technical and customer requirements.
• Support system integration activities and troubleshoot technical issues throughout development and testing.
• Plan and execute project-level engineering activities while supporting schedule, cost, and performance objectives.
• Identify, evaluate, and mitigate technical risks throughout the system development lifecycle.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, Software, Manufacturing, Quality, Program Management, Finance, and Business Development.
• Participate in design reviews, peer reviews, configuration management, and engineering change processes.
• Support technical proposals, bids, customer presentations, and business development initiatives.
• Represent the Systems Engineering organization during internal meetings, customer reviews, and external stakeholder engagements.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Experience developing, decomposing, allocating, and managing system and subsystem requirements.
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) concepts, methodologies, and tools.
• Experience developing system architectures and subsystem design definitions.
• Proficiency with SysML modeling using tools such as Cameo, MagicDraw, or IBM Rational Rhapsody.
• Experience using IBM DOORS (or similar requirements management tools).
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
• Understanding of Earned Value Management (EVM) principles within engineering programs.
• Experience participating in configuration management, change management, and formal peer review processes.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical teams and interact with customers and external stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting defense, aerospace, or military communications programs.
• Knowledge of radio frequency (RF) communications systems, including VLF, LF, HF, V/UHF, and MILSATCOM technologies.
• Experience supporting system integration, verification, and validation activities for complex hardware and software systems.
• Familiarity with the complete systems engineering lifecycle, from requirements development through system verification and production support.
• Experience supporting technical proposals, competitive pursuits, and customer-facing engineering activities.
• Active U.S. Security Clearance or the ability to obtain and maintain one is preferred.
