Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility (TS/SCI)
U.S. Citizenship
Master’s degree in Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field
10+ years of systems engineering experience
Experience supporting DoD acquisition programs
Strong understanding of system architecture, application software, operating systems, networks, and storage platforms
Experience across the full System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Experience integrating new capabilities into existing communications infrastructures
Ability to manage parallel development efforts across multiple program schedules
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Desired Qualifications
Experience with communications systems programs
Knowledge of Nuclear Command and Control (NC3), particularly Sentinel
Experience with Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) and Weapon System Integration (WSI)
Experience with iterative development methodologies
