  • 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 in a STEM field (Engineering preferred; Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science acceptable).
  • Minimum 6 years of relevant experience with a Bachelor's degree, 4 years with a Graduate degree, or 10 years without a degree.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance.
  • 6 years of experience applying systems engineering methods across full lifecycle activities.
  • 6 years of experience with requirements management, risk management, and system integration and verification practices.
