Systems Engineer Mid-Level 112-066

Make an impact at the intersection of mission, technology, and intelligence.

As a Mid-Level Systems Engineer , you'll apply a multi-disciplinary systems engineering approach to deliver timely, accurate Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) across the National System of Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-Intelligence (ASG), and U.S. Federal Agencies. You'll help translate complex mission needs into scalable, resilient technical solutions that directly support national security objectives.

What You'll Do:

• Lead and support systems engineering activities across the full lifecycle, including requirements development, solution design, integration, testing, evaluation, reliability, resiliency, and maintainability.
• Analyze and translate user and mission requirements into system and capability requirements, ensuring full traceability from architecture to implementation.
• Design and evaluate system architectures, workflows, and cloud service capabilities, identifying opportunities to automate or improve existing systems.
• Develop technical solutions leveraging emerging technologies, while mentoring junior engineers and helping grow their systems engineering skillsets.
• Support government stakeholders with systems integration, execution planning, and architecture allocation across programs.
• Contribute to Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs), Courses of Action (CoAs), trade studies, and engineering assessments to inform technical and programmatic decisions.
• Assist with strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management, and interface design.

Why This Role:

• Work on mission-critical systems that support GEOINT at a national and allied level.
• Gain exposure to complex, large-scale systems and cutting-edge technologies.
• Grow as a technical leader while mentoring others and influencing system-level decisions.
• Partner directly with government customers to solve real-world operational challenges.

Education & Experience

Required:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Systems Engineering or a related STEM discipline, including Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Engineering Management, Computer Science, Information Technology, Management Information Systems, or a closely related field.
• -OR- 6 years' of equivalent mid-level Systems Engineering experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Minimum of 6 years' of Mid-level Systems Engineering experience in government or industry.
• Experience supporting large, complex systems, including System-of-Systems or Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and/or cloud-based environments.
• Working experience with one or more of the following government processes:
  
  • DoD / Intelligence Community (IC) acquisition processes
  • Requirements development and management processes
  • Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution System (PPBES)

Core Skills

• Requirements analysis and traceability across the systems engineering lifecycle.
• Systems integration support within complex technical environments.

Desired:

Technical Knowledge

• Working knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), including associated processes, tools, and modeling languages.
• Familiarity with modern software development frameworks.

Certifications & Professional Engagement

• INCOSE Associate Systems Engineering Professional (ASEP) certification.
• Membership or active participation in professional organizations such as:
  
  • ACSM
  • ASCE
  • ASPRS
  • OGC
  • SAREM
  • USGIF

Domain Expertise

• Documented experience supporting geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) missions or programs.
• Working knowledge of GEOINT-related disciplines, including photogrammetry, remote sensing, image science, information sciences, geographic information systems (GIS), geomatics, or related fields.
• Demonstrated familiarity with the National System of Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-Intelligence (ASG), and/or NRO enterprise environments.

Security Clearance:

• Active TS/SCI Clearance and the willingness to sit for a CI polygraph, if needed
