About The Position

Integrated Solutions for Systems (IS4S) is a fast-growing small business at the forefront of developing innovative solutions for the warfighter. We use applied research and development combined with novel systems integration to enhance capabilities of our armed forces. IS4S is seeking an Electromagnetic Warfare Systems Engineer in Auburn, AL or Aberdeen, MD to assist design, development, integration, and deployment of integrated, multi-domain EW solutions supporting Army and Joint warfighting functions. The person or persons filling this position will join an existing, multi-disciplinary team to perform design and system engineering activities supporting Command and Control (C2) and EW operations that enhance our nation’s security. The challenges facing our nation are constantly evolving. Therefore, we are looking for self-driven, entrepreneurial team members willing and able to constantly learn, adapt, and find ways to develop and integrate solutions. Selected applicants will be expected to gain familiarity with the underlying domain (e.g., EW, Fires, PNT) and its role in the larger system of systems to incorporate warfighter needs throughout the solution. They will be given freedom to solve problems and develop solutions with the expectation of owning their tasks and responsibilities. They will also integrate into an existing team that provides support and to ensure designs and solutions conform to and enhance the end product.
