About The Position
SNC is seeking a Systems Engineer III to perform advanced requirements engineering, systems integration, Verification & Validation (V&V), and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). The role leads system and decision analysis, technical planning, and risk management, and carries significant project responsibilities in architecture and design development, technical monitoring, and lifecycle management. The engineer exercises independent technical judgment, provides guidance and mentorship to junior team members, and collaborates to drive project success. The position supports SNC’s ISR, Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area, which integrates manned and unmanned aircraft systems and provides end-to-end C4ISR capabilities, including design, integration, test, certification, training, and logistics support. The engineer will identify and resolve technical issues through root-cause analysis and risk management, and support integration, troubleshooting, and verification in laboratory, field, and operational test environments. The position operates in a hybrid environment with occasional travel.
Requirements
