Do you want to make critical contributions to how the US Navy performs Offensive Surface Warfare (OSuW)? Are you excited to understand how some of the world's most advanced military defense systems operate? If so, we are looking for someone like you to join our team at APL. We are seeking a highly technical senior systems engineer and specialist in system-of-systems (SoS) integration to support design and T&E (testing and evaluation) of combat systems on surface combatants. The ideal candidate would demonstrate a deep understanding of systems engineering, including standard processes for complex integrations. Through continuous learning opportunities and access to world-renowned authorities, we will help you strengthen your ability as an authority in addressing integration challenges between combat systems, hypersonic weapons systems, standard missiles, and sophisticated radar systems. You will be joining a team passionate about continuous improvement, innovation, and collaboration, with opportunity to be an authority in solving challenges of national importance by fielding and improving the next generation of combat systems for the fleet.

  • Apply your past experience in solving complex systems-of-systems integration problems for the U.S. Navy's ground breaking programs including Zumwalt, AEGIS, and Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) in a high tempo, quickly advancing environment.
  • Be an authority on the command and control (C2) element as it applies to the surface warfare domain, understanding data flows, logical implementation, and interfaces that enable new kill-chains.
  • Conduct deep, highly technical analysis to address critical System of System (SoS) integration challenges and lead design work to solve emerging challenges.
  • Generate systems engineering products such as performance specifications, requirements, trade study reports, CONOPS, test and evaluation management plans, test plans and procedures, test schedules, and data collection plans to support both lab-based and shipboard live fire testing.
  • Prepare for and participate in technical interchange meetings, providing technical insight to contractor, government agency, and research laboratory participants.
  • Lead collaboration with multi-agency partners to develop, review, and validate robustness of new processes and logic for combat systems capabilities.
  • Serve as a technical trusted agent to government sponsors, providing technical recommendations and guidance to acquisition decisions.
  • Have a B.S. in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Math or equivalent technical field.
  • Have 7+ years of applied technical experience in Systems Engineering.
  • Have 3+ years of direct workable experience in complex SoS engineering and integration, developing requirements, specifications, or interface documentation.
  • Have 2+ years of experience in successfully leading a team of engineers.
  • Are able to communicate clearly and concisely, both verbally and in writing.
  • Are willing and able to travel up to 10% of the time, as needed.
  • Have the ability to obtain an Interim Secret security clearance and ultimately a Secret clearance.
  • Have an M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering or a related technical field.
  • Have 7+ years of relevant deep technical experience in Systems Engineering and are proficient with standard processes in Model Based Systems Engineering.
  • Have experience working in the Precision Strike domain, are familiar with Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM), Tomahawk Strike Network (TSN), Mission Planning, or hypersonic weapon systems.
  • Basic understanding kill chain of precision strike or anti-air warfare.
  • Have experience with Link-16, Common Data Link (CDL), or Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), unmanned surface vehicles.
  • Have workable technical experience with surface combat systems and end-to-end weapon engagement, weapon support.
  • Demonstrate superior initiative, energy, and organizational skills.
  • Have an active Top Secret or above security clearance.
  • Generous benefits including a robust education assistance program.
  • Unparalleled retirement contributions.
  • Healthy work/life balance.
