Systems Engineer

KBR•Beavercreek, OH

13d•$100,000 - $150,000

About The Position

KBR is seeking a Systems Engineer to support integration, test, and evaluation of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems, including GPS and inertial systems. The position supports laboratory-based and operationally relevant systems across research and applied DoD programs. The engineer will apply systems engineering and PNT fundamentals across hardware, software, and test activities, working with software engineers and hardware teams on concept development, prototyping, integration, testing, and assessment of PNT system performance in laboratory and field environments for offensive and defensive systems. Candidates joining KBR's Mission Technology Solutions business before its planned spin-off will transition to Trinzic when the separation is complete and will not need to reapply.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Aerospace Engineering.
3–7 years of professional experience in systems engineering, integration, or test for technical systems.
Experience developing system requirements and supporting verification and validation activities.
Experience supporting laboratory or fielded test environments.
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. DoD security clearance.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting RF, PNT, or navigation system integration and testing.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Familiarity with PNT systems and concepts, such as GNSS, inertial navigation, and timing.
Experience with HIL/SIL test architectures or laboratory automation.
Familiarity with modeling, simulation, or digital engineering approaches.
Experience supporting DoD programs, laboratory R&D, or operational prototyping efforts.

Responsibilities

Plan and execute integration of hardware, software, and test infrastructure.
Develop and manage system requirements, interfaces, and verification approaches.
Lead or support laboratory, HITL/SITL, and field test activities for RF systems.
Evaluate system performance, limitations, and risks using test and analysis results.
Coordinate with software engineers to align algorithm assumptions with hardware and system constraints.
Support development of system architectures, trade studies, and evaluation strategies.
Document system designs, test plans, and results for technical reviews and customer deliverables.
Participate in team technical interchange meetings to discuss technical activities, progress, issues, and improvements.
