Position OverviewThe Mid Systems Engineer will play a critical role in the planning, development, and execution of delivery orders (DOs), contributing as a hands-on engineer. This individual will be responsible for assisting in systems engineering efforts across the full lifecycle, from initial concept and requirements development through testing, verification, and final delivery. The ideal candidate has solid experience in systems engineering, enjoys solving complex technical problems, and can work independently with moderate supervision.
This role requires close collaboration with internal teams and government stakeholders and may involve occasional travel to customer sites or test events. A hybrid work environment is possible when not required to be on-site for customer meetings or test events. The program reserves the right to require on-site work if program execution and success dictates.
This is a full-time position. Days and hours of work are typically Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Occasional evening and weekend work may be required as job duties demand.
