Our employees serve as valued partners to essential government agencies and support every branch of the U.S. armed forces, solving the most daunting challenges our customers face every day.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to provide enterprise-focused engineering support to a government customer.

Your day-to-day involves leading contractor systems engineering activities, supervising project engineering staff and technicians, and independently resolving important engineering issues that require advanced technology. You will plan and develop engineering projects with unique or complex aspects that impact major capabilities of high priority to the enterprise. Additionally, you will brief stakeholders on technical status, assist in developing innovative approaches to technical challenges, and contribute to the creation of critical systems engineering documentation, including System Engineering Plans, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents.

Hiring Process

Applicants selected for this position will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. During the review of your application, you may be required to participate in an on-camera interview as well as a process to verify your identity.
