Senior Systems Engineer – Systems Integration & Test (SEIT)
About The Position
Four Sea Group is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer specializing in systems integration and test to support the development, integration, verification, and validation of complex mission systems. This role contributes to Four Sea Group’s ability to translate customer requirements into reliable fielded capabilities by connecting systems-engineering analysis with hands-on integration and verification. The engineer will independently support defined system-level efforts, evaluate hardware and software interactions, develop and execute test approaches, troubleshoot anomalous behavior, and help ensure technical solutions account for mission, schedule, cost, and lifecycle considerations. The ideal candidate brings practical systems-engineering judgment combined with strong integration and test experience. This role requires the ability to understand how requirements flow into hardware and software solutions, evaluate system interfaces and tradeoffs, and collaborate across engineering disciplines to improve technical readiness and successful program delivery.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or another relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Relevant systems engineering, integration, test, verification, or mission-focused engineering experience; approximately three years with a bachelor’s degree, one year with a master’s degree, or equivalent additional experience in lieu of a degree.
- Active DoD TS/SCI security clearance at the time of application.
- Experience supporting system integration, verification, validation, or system-level test activities.
- Experience translating customer or product requirements into hardware and software system solutions.
- Experience developing test plans, test procedures, checkout procedures, and technical reports.
