About The Position

The Lead, Systems Engineering will work as part of a team supporting requirements, design, development, test, and integration of complex, specialized hardware and software systems installed on ground and airborne ISR and communications platforms. The role serves as a subject matter expert in Solipsys command-and-control (C2) mission software, providing hands-on architecture development, requirements, system design, configuration, integration, and testing expertise for airborne system applications. The position serves as the primary C2 product owner and integrates and configures Solipsys mission software for airborne C2 weapon systems, ensuring compatibility and operational effectiveness with external platforms. It also develops and maintains configurations for use across multiple programs, translates operational concepts and customer requests into requirements and configurations, and supports requirement traceability throughout the program lifecycle. Additional work includes developing subsystem specifications and preliminary system designs, communicating system capabilities to technical and non-technical audiences, and authoring and implementing software and system test plans. Travel varies by program phase, from less than 10% during software development to more than 50% during integration, testing, and delivery. The position is remote in Texas and follows a 9/80 schedule: employees work 9 out of every 14 days, totaling 80 hours, with every other Friday off.
