A leading defense technology integrator is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to support a high-profile airborne C4ISR program, delivering decision-quality data to warfighters. This is a full-time role supporting the development and integration of advanced airborne systems through Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices. The role can be remote with periodic on-site collaboration, and requires an active TS/SCI clearance .
In this role, you'll lead requirements management, architecture development, system modeling, and digital thread management across a complex system-of-systems. You'll play a key part in bringing next-generation airborne capabilities to flight readiness for Major Release 2 (FY25-27). Work directly with cross-functional teams on a mix of software, hardware, and operational platforms in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
