The Opportunity:
We are seeking a highly motivated Systems Engineer to join our Information Technology team. This role is responsible for the design, development, and implementation of complex system architectures that support mission, operational, and business objectives. The Systems Engineer will apply interdisciplinary engineering principles to define system capabilities, performance requirements, interfaces, and implementation approaches across a broad range of technologies and engineering domains.
The successful candidate will work closely with technical teams, stakeholders, and subject matter experts to develop integrated solutions that may encompass information technology, hardware, communications, cybersecurity, electrical, and other engineering disciplines. This position requires a strong systems-thinking mindset and the ability to translate mission requirements into scalable, supportable, and technically sound architectures.
Responsibilities:
• Design and develop end-to-end system architectures that satisfy mission, operational, technical, and business requirements.
• Define system capabilities, performance requirements, and technology maturity constraints for complex solutions and products.
• Develop system element architectures, interface definitions, and integration strategies.
• Establish system implementation approaches, operational concepts, and technical roadmaps.
• Create and maintain architectural models, frameworks, and engineering artifacts supporting current and future system development efforts.
• Analyze requirements and allocate functionality across hardware, software, network, communications, cybersecurity, and other system components.
• Evaluate technical alternatives, identify tradeoffs, and recommend architectural solutions.
• Ensure system designs comply with applicable standards, regulations, security requirements, and organizational policies.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, program managers, and stakeholders throughout the system lifecycle.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineers and developers implementing system architectures.
• Support technology evaluations, prototyping efforts, and technology maturation activities.
• Conduct system architecture reviews, design reviews, and technical assessments.
• Develop and maintain documentation including system specifications, architecture diagrams, interface control documents, and operational concepts.
• Identify technical risks and develop mitigation strategies.
• Support system integration, testing, deployment, sustainment, and modernization activities.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, systems architecture, solution architecture, or related engineering roles in AWS and Linux environments.
• Experience developing complex system architectures across multiple technology domains.
• Knowledge of systems engineering principles, methodologies, and lifecycle processes.
• Experience translating customer, mission, or operational requirements into technical solutions.
• Familiarity with systems integration, interface management, and requirements traceability.
• Experience developing architectural artifacts, models, and technical documentation.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary engineering environments.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret with CI Polygraph security clearance.
• DoD 8140.01 / DoD 8570.01 M IAT Level II certification prior to start date.
Desired:
• Master's degree in Systems Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Experience supporting government, defense, aerospace, intelligence, or critical infrastructure programs.
• Knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and tools.
Experience with architecture frameworks such as DoDAF, UAF, TOGAF, or similar frameworks.
• Familiarity with systems modeling tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, MagicDraw, Sparx Enterprise Architect, or equivalent.
• Understanding of cybersecurity engineering and secure system design principles.
• Experience with cloud, hybrid-cloud, edge computing, or distributed system architectures.
