Key responsibilities include managing risk, coordinating cross-functional engineering teams, and supporting capture activities for mission opportunities. Required skills include expertise in systems engineering processes, technical roadmap development, and experience with tools like DOORS or similar requirements management software. The role addresses complex problems in electronic attack, RF, and airborne mission-system capabilities within the defense sector, ensuring high-quality technical artifacts and compliance with standards while managing the transition of technologies from maturation to production for national security needs.

What you'll do

  • Lead and manage systems engineering teams by assigning resources, prioritizing work, and providing performance management.
  • Direct technical execution across the full lifecycle of Electronic Warfare (EW) and Next Generation Jammer programs.
  • Develop system architectures and technical roadmaps for RF hardware, software, firmware, and airborne mission capabilities.
  • Oversee requirements decomposition, traceability, and verification planning across multiple subsystems and interfaces.
  • Manage technical risks by identifying issues, creating mitigation plans, and ensuring project milestones are met.
  • Coordinate cross-functional engineering efforts between systems, electrical, software, mechanical, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
  • Support business development by contributing to proposal strategies, technical volumes, and customer demonstrations for new contracts.
  • Enforce disciplined systems engineering processes and tools to ensure configuration control and compliance with standards.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and at least 12 years of experience, or a Graduate degree and at least 10 years of experience.
  • Minimum of 5 years of technical leadership, functional leadership, or engineering management experience on complex EW, defense, or aerospace programs.
  • Active Secret clearance required with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance.
  • Active Top Secret clearance, TS/SCI eligibility, or access is preferred.
  • Experience leading systems engineering for Electronic Warfare, electronic attack, RF, airborne mission systems, or NGJ is strongly desired.
  • Strong knowledge of systems engineering processes including architecture development, interface definition, and verification is preferred.
  • Experience with risk management, earned value, and coordination across internal teams and subcontractors is preferred.
  • U.S. citizens.
