About The Position
We’re looking for a Junior Systems Engineer to support the development and sustainment of geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) capabilities across the National System of Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-Intelligence (ASG), and Federal partners. This is an excellent opportunity to build hands-on systems engineering experience while working alongside senior engineers and government stakeholders on mission-critical programs. What You’ll Do Support mid-level engineers and Government teams across the systems engineering lifecycle, including requirements development, solution design, integration, testing, and sustainment. Assist with analyzing and tracing user requirements through system architectures, workflows, and technical documentation. Help identify opportunities to automate or improve existing systems, including evaluating cloud services, workflows, and scheduling constraints. Contribute to solution designs based on requirements analysis and emerging technologies. Support the translation of mission and customer needs into system and capability requirements. Assist with systems integration activities across enterprise environments. Participate in Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs), Courses of Action (CoAs), trade studies, and engineering assessments. Support strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management, and interface design efforts. Why This Role MattersYou’ll gain exposure to complex, real-world systems while helping deliver timely, accurate GEOINT that supports national security and allied missions.
