About The Position

Valkyrie Enterprises is seeking a Mid-Level Systems Engineer II in Dahlgren, VA. This position will be 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

Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in an engineering, scientific, or technical discipline
At least 5+ years (Journeyman) of systems engineering experience
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.
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.
Active Secret Clearance and the ability to maintain it.

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
Experience with tactical simulators and the ability to run test scenarios
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 Test & Evaluation (T&E) event per month, validating that system performance meets established benchmarks in tactically relevant environments.
