Position Overview
We are seeking a visionary and execution-focused Senior Systems Engineer to provide technical leadership, architectural oversight, and modernization strategy for the Army’s Long-Range Precision Fires and weapon systems portfolios. In this role, you will act as a force multiplier, bridging traditional defense acquisition requirements with cutting-edge commercial practices.
The ideal candidate will bring a 10+ year record of success across complex DoD, MDA, and related programs, with proven expertise in leading high-performing Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), deploying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and pioneering Agile Systems Engineering practices to radically accelerate value delivery.
Core Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Agile SE Execution
•
Modernize Engineering Frameworks: Author, maintain, and modernize Agile Systems Engineering Management Plans (SEMP) and CDRLs, successfully tailoring commercial best practices for rigorous, high-compliance defense environments.
•
Advanced Methodologies: Drive the adoption of advanced software and systems architectures, utilizing Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Event-Driven Architectures to reduce technical debt and lifecycle costs.
•
Human-AI Collaborative Engineering: Prototype and integrate emerging digital engineering capabilities, including human-AI collaborative systems engineering processes, to drive unprecedented efficiency gains in team capacity and requirements synthesis.
•
Mentorship & Alignment: Provide technical mentorship to functional leads, Product Owners, and multi-disciplinary teams on requirements management, verification & validation (V&V), and Agile workflows (Scrum/Kanban).
Systems Integration, Modeling & Simulation
•
System-of-Systems Integration: Lead the integration, verification, and validation of complex hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), and tactical physics-based simulations.
•
Requirements & Traceability: Manage complex system specification trees, interface control documents (ICDs), and end-to-end traceability using tools like IBM DOORS and Cameo EA.
•
Data-Driven Decisions: Leverage a deep background in Python/C++ data analysis, automated testing, and Design of Experiments (DOE) to analyze simulation output, reduce program risk, and accelerate cross-platform validation.
Program & Stakeholder Management
•
IPT Lead: Serve as a core technical leader capable of acting as an IPT Lead or Control Account Manager (CAM) to tightly bind engineering execution with cost, schedule, and risk baselines.
•
Strategic Interface: Collaborate directly with senior government stakeholders, program managers, and sibling contract counterparts to align mission-critical milestones and influence technical direction.
•
Business Capture Support: Contribute high-tier technical writing, architecture concepts, and solution design to proposal and capture efforts for high-value contract opportunities.
Required Qualifications

Education: Bachelor of Science (BS) in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related STEM discipline. A Master’s Degree (MS) is preferred.
•
Experience: 10+ years of progressive technical experience supporting high-value missile defense, aviation, space, or tactical weapons programs.
•
Methodology Mastery: Demonstrated expertise implementing Agile SE frameworks, including Scrum Master or Kanban leadership, Test-Driven Development (TDD), BDD, and DDD.
•
Toolsets & Languages:
•
Systems/Requirements: Cameo Enterprise Architect, DOORS, IBM Rhapsody, Atlassian Suite (Jira/Confluence).
