Systems Engineer III

SimVentions, Inc • King George, VA

8d • Onsite

About The Position

SimVentions is looking for a driven Systems Engineer to join their team in supporting the AN/SLQ-32(V)7 Electronic Warfare Spectrum Operations (EWSO) program. This role is pivotal in bridging the gap between high-end Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities and Integrated Combat Systems. The successful candidate will apply core systems engineering principles—including requirements maturation, system-of-systems integration, and lifecycle validation—to ensure the warfighter has a resilient and effective EW suite. You will work directly with government stakeholders to mature the (V)7 variant, moving from abstract mission needs into validated tactical scenarios and data-backed performance analysis.

Requirements

• United States Citizenship
• Active Secret Clearance (or above)
• Minimum 5+ years (Journeyman) of systems engineering experience. Candidates with significant experience in Electronic Warfare or Combat Systems may be considered for a Senior Engineer level.
• Demonstrated experience in requirements development, system design documentation, and the technical review process.
• Strong ability to analyze complex, multi-domain datasets and author formal, compliant technical reports, test plans, and executive briefs.
• Proven ability to develop system requirements and technical documentation.
• Experience with tactical simulators (e.g., TACSIM or similar) and the ability to design/run test scenarios.
• Strong capability to analyze complex datasets and translate them into formal, compliant test reports and briefs.
• Comfortable working 100% on-site in a government lab environment and participating in high-level technical meetings.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience with the AN/SLQ-32 family of systems or Aegis Weapon System integration.
• Familiarity with Electronic Warfare (EW) mission areas and the SEWIP program.
• Ability to troubleshoot simulation runs and technical issues independently with minimal guidance.
• Experience with System-of-Systems (SoS) integration, specifically regarding sensor-to-shooter loops or electromagnetic spectrum operations.
• Experience defining "Success Criteria" and "Measures of Performance" (MOPs/MOEs) for complex, multi-domain system tests.
• Familiarity with requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS) or Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies.

Responsibilities

• Lead the technical analysis and integration of the AN/SLQ-32(V)7 variant into larger shipboard Combat Systems (e.g., Aegis), ensuring interoperability and mission success.
• Drive the definition, decomposition, and traceability of system-level requirements. Translate high-level operational needs into detailed technical specifications for EW software and hardware components.
• Act as a technical subject matter expert during formal reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR), design sit-downs, and working groups, ensuring technical integrity across the program lifecycle.
• Develop complex test scenarios within tactical simulation environments (such as TACSIM) to model AN/SLQ-32(V)7 performance against representative threats.
• Execute simulation runs, identify system anomalies, and perform root-cause analysis to resolve integration blockers between EW suites and combat management systems.
• Collect, reduce, and analyze tactical data from simulation and test events. Draft formal technical reports and briefs that translate raw data into actionable engineering recommendations.
• Support approximately one major Test & Evaluation (T&E) event per month, validating that system performance meets established benchmarks in tactically relevant environments.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• Competitive 401(k) programs
• Retirement and Financial Counselors
• Health Savings and Health Reimbursement Accounts
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Life insurance, short- & long-term disability
• Continuing Education Assistance
• Paid Time Off, Paid Holidays, Paid Leave (e.g., Maternity, Paternity, Jury Duty, Bereavement, Military)
• Third Party Employee Assistance Program that offers emotional and lifestyle well-being services, to include free counseling
• Supplemental Benefit Program
