TL;DR · Senior Specialist Systems Engineer I

Senior Specialist, Systems Engineer 1 joins the ForceX team to deliver mission-focused technical solutions from concept through deployment and sustainment. This senior professional role focuses on product and mission-system engineering, including requirements, architecture, integration, verification, and lifecycle technical execution. The successful candidate will translate requirements into executable designs while managing trade studies, risk identification, and technical documentation. Day-to-day responsibilities involve collaborating with cross-functional teams to integrate hardware, software, and operational constraints into practical solutions while ensuring compliance with security and government regulations. Key skills include systems engineering methods, requirements management, and system integration practices. Preferred qualifications include familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and experience with multi-domain mission systems and secure architectures. The role addresses the technical challenge of balancing performance, cost, and schedule constraints across complex system-level decisions in a defense context.

What you'll do

  • Execute engineering work products from initial requirements through final verification and technical documentation.
  • Translate complex requirements into executable designs that meet performance, cost, and schedule objectives.
  • Conduct technical analysis, risk identification, and trade studies to support critical design decisions.
  • Perform requirements decomposition, interface definition, and verification strategy for mission systems.
  • Execute system integration, validation, and technical baselines across the entire product lifecycle.
  • Produce and maintain engineering artifacts including requirements traceability, risk registers, and verification evidence.
  • Ensure all system designs comply with customer, regulatory, and government security requirements.
  • Lead or support design reviews, peer reviews, and formal technical interchanges.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and 6 years of relevant experience, a graduate degree and 4 years of related experience, or 10 years of experience without a degree.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance.
  • 6 years of experience in systems engineering methods across full lifecycle activities.
  • 6 years of experience with requirements management, risk management, and system integration and verification practices.
  • Familiarity with Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) (preferred).
  • Experience with multi-domain mission systems and secure architectures (preferred).
  • Experience supporting government or defense technical reviews (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
