As a Systems Engineer II, you will build upon foundational skills and perform intermediate tasks in requirements engineering, systems integration, Verification & Validation (V&V), and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). You will conduct system and decision analysis, technical planning, and risk management with minimal supervision. You will contribute to and sometimes lead project tasks with a working knowledge in architecture/design development, technical monitoring, and lifecycle management. Strong communication and collaboration with team members and stakeholders are essential as you develop solutions and support organizational objectives.
The ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area is a leader in ISR and aviation, it is a leading prime manned and unmanned aircraft systems integrator for innovative, high-performance ISR and aviation systems. Its end-to-end Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities encompass design, integration, test, certification, ground/flight training and complete logistics support. IAS tailors solutions to customer cost, performance, and schedule requirements and designs to consistently exceed expectations - with an unrivaled record of on time and on (or under) budget deliveries.
Responsibilities:- Perform intermediate tasks in requirements engineering, systems integration, V&V, and MBSE.

- Higher level relevant degree may substitute for experience.
- Proficiency with Systems modeling and simulation tools.
- Practical knowledge of multiple Engineering principles and practices.
- Experience working in multi-disciplinary design and development teams.
- Knowledge of requirements management, functional requirements parsing, derivation, and allocation; systems design, systems integration, technical risk identification and management strategies, and V&V principles.
Qualifications We Prefer:- Experience supporting rapid capability development, integration, and fielding efforts in a dynamic operational environment where timely mission impact is prioritized over exhaustive process compliance.
- Demonstrated success applying pragmatic systems engineering principles to complex, multidisciplinary defense systems while maintaining focus on technical risk, mission effectiveness, and execution velocity.
- Familiarity with missile systems, air defense architectures, mission systems integration, tactical networking, and command-and-control environments.
- Experience balancing engineering rigor with schedule-driven program objectives, making informed technical decisions with incomplete information when required to support mission priorities.
- Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy, ownership, and accountability in an environment that values initiative, decisive action, and continuous learning.
- Active Secret security clearance preferred.
Essential Functions:- Ability to work on a computer for extended periods.
- Hand/finger dexterity for system modeling and documentation.
- Ability to work in a hybrid environment with occasional travel.
