What You'll Do:

In this role, you'll execute the systems engineering lifecycle supporting sensor transport and C2ISR mission capabilities across SATCOM, terrestrial, and hybrid network environments. You'll serve as a technical leader responsible for requirements decomposition, system integration, verification and validation (V&V), fielding, and lifecycle sustainment while partnering with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver secure, resilient, and mission-ready transport solutions.

• Execute the full systems engineering lifecycle for sensor transport systems, including requirements decomposition, system design, integration, verification and validation (V&V), fielding, and operational sustainment.
• Develop, maintain, and manage system specifications, interface control documents (ICDs), engineering documentation, and technical baselines supporting enterprise C2ISR transport architectures.
• Engineer, integrate, and optimize SATCOM and terrestrial transport solutions, including RF terminals, gateways (RGEPS/IGEPs), IP transport, cross-domain solutions, edge computing platforms, and cloud-enabled services.
• Lead system integration, testing, deployment, technology refresh, and modernization initiatives while ensuring performance, scalability, reliability, and mission readiness.
• Author engineering test plans, procedures, and acceptance criteria; conduct factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and support turnkey gateway installations and Tactical Reconnaissance Kit (TRK) FMV transport path deployments.
• Perform advanced troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, performance optimization, and technical assessments to resolve complex system and transport issues while collaborating with Network Operations Center (NOC) and operational support teams.
• Develop and maintain RMF documentation, ATO evidence, STIG implementation, configuration baselines, and configuration/change management artifacts supporting cybersecurity compliance.
• Support site activations, network cutovers, field installations, and CONUS/OCONUS deployments while ensuring successful integration into operational mission environments.
• Collaborate with software, network, cybersecurity, and program management teams to deliver secure, compliant, and integrated enterprise transport solutions.
• Capture operational lessons learned and engineering recommendations to continuously improve system architecture, transport performance, and future modernization efforts.

Who You Are:

You are an experienced Systems Engineer with a strong background in C2ISR transport systems, systems engineering, and mission-critical communications supporting Department of Defense or Federal Government customers. You combine technical expertise with a disciplined systems engineering approach to design, integrate, validate, and field complex transport solutions while collaborating across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

• Active U.S. Government Secret security clearance with the ability to maintain the required clearance; U.S. Citizenship required.
• Current DoD 8570/8140 Information Assurance Technical (IAT) Level III certification.
• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• Six (6) to eight (8) or more years of systems engineering experience supporting C2ISR transport systems through requirements development, system design, integration, verification and validation, and operational fielding.
• Hands-on experience integrating SATCOM, baseband systems, RF terminals, gateways, IP/MPLS transport networks, and supporting site activations, network cutovers, and operational deployments.
• Experience developing engineering specifications, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), test plans, test procedures, and technical documentation supporting system integration and acceptance testing.
• Experience supporting RMF, ATO package development, STIG implementation, vulnerability remediation, configuration management, and formal engineering change control processes.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, systems integration, and root-cause analysis skills with experience supporting complex operational and mission-critical environments.
• Experience with scripting, automation, or infrastructure orchestration tools (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Bash, or Ansible) is preferred.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to effectively engage engineering teams, customers, and program leadership.
