Systems Engineer (Mid-level)

Summary

This mid-level Systems Engineer role focuses on defining, designing, and de-risking complex tactical communication systems integrating hardware, software, networking, and RF components. The engineer will contribute to mission-intent refinement, system architecture, trade studies, modeling and simulation, and integration testing—surfacing assumptions and risks early to validate architectural hypotheses. The role requires 4–6 years of complicated system development experience, hands-on work across hardware/software/networking domains, and comfort in iterative, hypothesis-driven environments where requirements evolve as uncertainty reduces. Success demands linking detailed technical execution to mission intent, maintaining traceability artifacts, and participating in root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
