About The Position

InDyne is seeking a Journeyman- or Senior-level Systems Engineer to support the Atlantic Test Range (ATR) in Patuxent River, Maryland. The role applies hands-on systems engineering to integrate, test, and optimize range capabilities—including TCTS II, LATR, RTS, and TCTS Increment I—in support of live flight-test and training operations. The engineer works with military, civilian, Government, and contractor stakeholders to deliver decision-quality test and training data for naval aviation and other partners. The position supports requirements analysis and traceability; definition and documentation of system behavior, performance requirements, interface control documents, and verification methods; real-time data collection and analysis; event planning and operational support; technical documentation and configuration control; and laboratory and field integration and testing. Work is primarily onsite, with most duties performed in enclosed buildings and some outdoor work possible. At the Journeyman level, the engineer works independently on complex tasks with limited oversight, reviews junior engineers’ work, and identifies technical risks and recommendations. At the Senior level, the engineer leads systems engineering approaches and complex problem resolution, assigns and mentors staff, and interfaces with OEMs, program contractors, and Government representatives on critical technical matters.

Journeyman: At least 3 years of work experience performing the stated function.
Journeyman: At least 2 years of the required experience must involve systems engineering functions related to real-time data collection, engineering analysis, data reduction, or mathematical/statistical analysis.
Senior: Master of Science degree in systems engineering or a related discipline such as physics, mathematics, or computer science from an accredited college or university.
Senior: At least 10 years of work experience performing the stated or a similar function.
Senior: In lieu of a Master of Science degree, a Bachelor of Science degree and 14 years of work experience performing the stated or a similar function.
Senior: At least 4 years of the required experience must involve systems engineering functions related to real-time data collection, engineering analysis, data reduction, or mathematical/statistical analysis.
All candidates must be able to work primarily onsite.
Valid driver’s license.

Vision abilities needed include close vision, depth perception, and the ability to adjust and focus.

Responsibilities

Analyze, design, develop, integrate, and test complex range capabilities, primarily TCTS II, LATR, RTS, and TCTS Increment I.
Support requirements analysis, definition, and traceability for new and modified capabilities.
Define and document system behaviors, performance requirements, interface control documents (ICDs), and verification methods.
Support real-time data collection, engineering analysis, data reduction, and mathematical or statistical analysis during flight-test and training events.
Provide pre-event and post-event engineering support by reviewing event objectives, constraints, and configurations.
Monitor, capture, and track system deficiencies and performance issues observed during live events, and propose engineering solutions and mitigations.
Review, author, and maintain technical analyses, test plans and procedures, design descriptions, and system specifications.
Participate in configuration and change control, providing technical input to Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and technical instructions.
Coordinate and support laboratory and field integration and testing of upgraded hardware, software, and networked range systems.
Collaborate with Government ATR/PMA personnel, RTT project managers, OEM contractors, and subcontractors to troubleshoot issues, align schedules, and manage risk.
At the Journeyman level, oversee and review junior engineers’ work products and proactively identify technical risks and recommendations.
At the Senior level, define engineering approaches, procedures, and controls; assign tasks; mentor junior and journeyman staff; lead complex problem-resolution efforts; and interface with OEMs, program contractors, and Government representatives on critical technical matters.
