• Typically requires a bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution and progressive engineering experience as follows: • 9 or more years with a bachelor’s degree, or • 7 or more years with a master’s degree, or • 4 or more years with a PhD. Equivalent engineering experience may be substituted in lieu of education. • Proven experience as a Systems Engineer and/or Project Engineer on complex aerospace, defense, or mission system programs, with responsibility for both technical content and project execution. • QRC or experience working in a lean, fast-paced engineering environment is highly desirable. • Experience managing software development and releases, including coordination with software teams, integration/test, and delivery to operational users. • Experience with HMI or user interface feature development (e.g., ground control stations, operator consoles), including capturing user needs and validating usability and user experience. • Experience overseeing hardware design and integration and working with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering disciplines. • Strong systems engineering background, including requirements development and management, system architecture design, integration, verification and validation, and root cause/corrective action. • Demonstrated ability to operate at both low‑level technical detail and high‑level system view, and to provide clear summaries and recommendations to customers and leadership. • Strong project management skills: planning, scheduling, risk management, coordination of cross‑functional teams, and tracking to cost/schedule/performance in a fast‑paced environment. • Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly communicate complex technical topics and project status to customers, management, and cross‑functional teams. • Strong sense of ownership and work ethic; takes responsibility for outcomes and is willing to put in the effort required to meet QRC schedules and mission needs. • Customer‑focused, with a commitment to supporting the mission and continuously improving both technical solutions and processes. • Able to work independently with minimal direction and excel in a collaborative, high‑performing team environment. Desired experience in one or more of the following: • Embedded or real‑time software and software integration. • Test and verification techniques and tools. • Manufacturing engineering principles and design for producibility. • Systems engineering, system test and integration, and subcontractor/supplier management. • Proposal development, basis of estimates (BOEs), and EVMS or similar project tracking methods. • Commercial and/or DoD product development lifecycles. • Familiarity with Linux/UNIX and Windows environments; experience with development, integration, or system administration tools is a plus. • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance is required.
