We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Senior Systems Engineer to serve as the Integration & Testing (I&T) Manager for the Airspace and Surface Radar Reconnaissance (ASRR) system. The I&T Manager will be responsible for managing the ASRR Systems Integration Lab (SIL), overseeing configuration management, and ensuring successful integration and testing of ISR systems including sensors and communications technologies for military ground platforms. The ideal candidate will work closely with the U.S. Army, foreign military clients, and internal engineering teams to ensure successful integration of ISR systems into military operations, meeting mission-critical requirements and operational demands.

  • Establish system readiness and conduct readiness assessments to begin integration lab operations
  • Execute system-level tests using full mission configuration to verify operational capability including test coordination, scenario execution, and system performance validation
  • Validate SIL configuration and calibration status prior to formal testing, confirming configuration baseline, software versions, and equipment readiness
  • Manage day-to-day operations of the ASRR Systems Integration Lab ensuring adequate resources for testing GCS functionality and cybersecurity requirements including correct software versions, server hardware, and lab equipment
  • Coordinate integration testing between ASRR subsystems including aerostat, ISR sensors, ELINT, and ground control elements
  • Establish and manage configuration procedures for both SIL development and ongoing operations including CM process documentation, version control implementation, and baseline establishment procedures
  • Manage formal design baseline definition, design freeze coordination, and configuration item identification while maintaining baseline integrity
  • Ensure SIL implementation aligns with established design baseline through as-built documentation review, physical configuration audits, component verification, and discrepancy resolution
  • Provide QA oversight during SIL setup including installation inspection, workmanship verification, safety compliance checks, and non-conformance tracking
  • Maintain quality and reliability of test data during and after test execution through data accuracy validation, anomaly investigation, and coordination with test teams to ensure trustworthy outputs
  • Implement cybersecurity requirements and ensure secure operations within the SIL environment
  • Generate formal documentation and manage acceptance of SIL verification results including test report compilation, acceptance criteria verification, and stakeholder approval coordination
  • Track status of partner development efforts to understand impact on future dependent activities and mitigate potential problems
  • Develop and track status of Interface Design Documents
  • Coordinate integration activities between multiple contractors and ensure interface compatibility
  • Contribute to the creation of system specifications, architecture, and requirements documentation for ISR systems, ensuring solutions meet operational needs
  • Support system-level testing and verification efforts for ISR technologies, ensuring systems operate effectively in operational environments
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues related to ISR systems integration and performance
  • Ensure all ISR system components comply with military standards (MIL-STD, MIL-PRF) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) regulations
  • Provide on-site technical support during deployment, fielding, and operational use of ISR systems
  • Serve as technical point of contact for U.S. Army personnel and foreign military clients, providing updates on system performance and integration progress
  • Assist in development and delivery of training materials to ensure military personnel are prepared to operate and maintain ISR systems
  • Participate in risk assessments and develop mitigation strategies for system integration and performance issues
  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Information Systems, or related STEM field
  • Minimum 10 years of experience in applied systems engineering methodology with focus on integration and testing of complex systems
  • Demonstrated experience managing integration laboratories and test facilities
  • Experience with ISR technologies such as EO/IR, radar, SIGINT, or similar sensor systems
  • Proven track record in configuration management and quality assurance processes
  • Hands-on experience with integration and testing of ISR systems on military platforms (ground, air, or naval)
  • Solid understanding of communication systems and data processing technologies
  • Experience with laboratory management, test equipment, and calibration processes
  • Advanced computer skills and ability to quickly learn new engineering software tools
  • Applied experience in systems engineering lifecycle management tools such as Innoslate MBSE, Cameo Magic Draw, DOORS Next, or equivalent
  • Experience with configuration management tools and version control systems
  • Knowledge of military standards (MIL-STD, MIL-PRF) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) regulations
  • Understanding of cybersecurity requirements and secure facility operations
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with ability to interface with military personnel, foreign clients, and cross-functional engineering teams
  • Experience coordinating activities across multiple organizations and managing stakeholder relationships
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues in both lab and operational settings
  • Ability to travel to military installations and overseas locations as required to support the project
  • Must be eligible for U.S. government security clearance (Secret minimum) or possess current clearance
  • Prior experience working with Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contracts and international military operations highly desirable
  • Ability to work effectively in dynamic, fast paced, and multinational environment
  • Experience with CDRL preparation and contract deliverable management preferred
