  • Define, manage, and verify system and subsystem requirements in accordance with DoD standards.
  • Develop and review system specifications, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and technical data packages.
  • Conduct system performance analysis, trade studies, and modeling/simulation to support design decisions.
  • Participate in design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) and provide technical recommendations to stakeholders.
  • Support ground and flight test planning, execution, and post-test data analysis.
  • Assess technical risks and support the development of mitigation strategies.
  • Collaborate with propulsion, GNC, seeker/sensors, avionics, and other subsystem teams.
  • Prepare and deliver technical briefings and documentation for customer and leadership review.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable MIL-STDs, DoD acquisition regulations, and ITAR/EAR export requirements.
  • Active DoD Secret security clearance (or ability to obtain).
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline.
  • 8+ years of experience in missile systems engineering or related defense systems.
  • Strong knowledge of missile subsystem design (e.g., propulsion, GNC, sensors, avionics).
  • Experience with systems engineering lifecycle processes, requirements management, and verification/validation.
  • Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools (MATLAB, Simulink, STK, or similar).
  • Master's degree in Engineering or related technical field.
  • Experience supporting Missile Defense Agency (MDA), U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, or U.S. Army missile programs.
  • Knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools (Cameo, Rhapsody, MagicDraw).
  • Prior involvement with system flight testing or range operations.
  • Active Secret or Top Secret clearance.
