  • Manage and develop a systems engineering team through resource assignment, work prioritization, and performance management.
  • Lead systems engineering across the full life cycle including architecture, requirements analysis, design synthesis, and verification.
  • Contribute to system architectures and technical roadmaps for electronic warfare and airborne mission-system capabilities.
  • Oversee requirements decomposition, traceability, and verification planning for hardware, software, firmware, and networking.
  • Manage subcontractor requirements decomposition, statements of work, and design verification activities.
  • Drive technical risk identification, mitigation planning, and issue resolution across development and production efforts.
  • Coordinate cross-functional engineering execution among systems, RF, electrical, software, and manufacturing teams.
  • Support proposal strategy, basis-of-estimate development, and technical volume creation for new business pursuits.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline and at least 12 years of related experience.
  • Graduate degree and at least 10 years of related experience.
  • Active Secret clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance.
  • U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.
  • Minimum of 5 years of technical leadership, functional leadership, or engineering management experience leading cross-disciplinary teams (preferred).
  • Demonstrated experience leading systems engineering for Electronic Warfare, electronic attack, RF, or airborne mission systems (preferred).
  • Experience leading teams through complex customer engagements with DoD, IC, or other national security customers (preferred).
  • Experience in military, national security, or mission-critical product development environments is strongly desired (preferred).
