About The Position

Work in a fast-paced environment, participating on engineering teams designing, testing, integration, and development and support of the next generation of UxV and hyperspectral image-based remote sensing systems for the U.S. Military.
The Senior Systems engineer is responsible for logical and systematic transformation of customer requirements and needs into a total system solution using the best of practice processes and techniques. The candidate will be the primary technical interface with the customer on all processes involved in systems engineering.
They will be a hands-on person that will work closely with multi-disciplined integrated product teams consisting of program managers, software, mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing engineers throughout the product’s lifecycle including requirements development, design, verification/validation, deployment and sustainment. The position supports systems logistics and lifecycle management tasks, as well as various process improvement initiatives within the group.
The candidate will be capable of performing a wide range of systems engineering functions, including requirements management, verification and validation (V&V), and test engineering, using expert knowledge of systems engineering or systems engineering management processes to guide product development teams. Knowledge and experience in systems engineering is also desired in the following areas: mission requirements analysis, system hierarchy and specification tree development, functional analysis, systems integration, requirements flowdown and allocation, trade studies, system synthesis, configuration definition and management, risk analysis, and hazard analysis.
