Systems Engineer Project Lead - EW/PNT

KBR

About The Position

KBR is seeking a Senior PNT (Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) Systems Engineer to lead integration, test, and evaluation of PNT systems operating in various environments. This role supports laboratory, simulation, and operationally relevant systems across research and applied DoW programs. This position requires deep experience in systems engineering and PNT fundamentals (or related experience in the EW domain), with the ability to own system integration efforts, guide technical execution, and assess system performance across hardware, software, and test domains. The engineer will work closely with software engineers and hardware teams to mature PNT capabilities from concept through evaluation.

Requirements

Strong understanding of EW and/or PNT systems, architectures, and performance drivers
Experience leading laboratory and/or field-based test activities
Experience integrating complex multi component systems
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. DoW security clearance

Nice To Haves

Advanced experience supporting GNSS, navigation, and/or timing system integration
Experience with contested, degraded, or denied PNT and/or EW environments
Familiarity with digital engineering and/or model based systems engineering approaches
Experience supporting DoW programs, laboratory R&D, and/or operational prototyping efforts
Active U.S. DoD security clearance

Responsibilities

Lead integration of EW and PNT hardware, software, and test environments
Own system requirements, interfaces, and verification strategies for EW and PNT systems
Plan and lead laboratory, HIL/SIL, and field test campaigns
Assess system performance, limitations, and risks under operationally relevant conditions
Design and execute realistic simulations for testing, analysis, training, and evaluation purposes within the cyber and EW domains.
Ensure alignment between algorithm behavior, hardware constraints, and system requirements
Support system architecture development, trade studies, and technical decision-making
Establish and maintain strong customer relationships, understanding their unique requirements and providing tailored solutions.
Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior and journeyman engineers
Document system architectures, test results, and assessments to support technical reviews and customer deliverables
