• Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE).
• Experience with multi-domain mission systems and secure architectures.
• Experience supporting government or defense technical reviews.
• Experience balancing technical, schedule, and cost constraints in system-level decisions.
• Ability to collaborate across software, hardware, mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and program teams.
• Experience managing large, complex project initiatives of substantial importance with minimal oversight.
• Ability to communicate across organizational boundaries to explain and influence changes to technical practices and approaches.
• Experience defining engineering tool chains and processes for technical development of multi-baseline product lines.
• Experience supporting bid and proposal efforts as a technical lead.
• Experience defining product architectures for reusable baseline development.
• Experience supporting technical authority functions in complex engineering organizations.
• Experience creating roadmap recommendations tied to design maturity and integration risk.
• Familiarity with system-level trade studies and review board preparation.
• Experience balancing long-range architecture goals with near-term program execution needs.

Responsibilities

• Lead product internal R&D (IRAD) development and program execution teams across the Systems Engineering, Integration & Test (SEIT) organization.
• Develop and refine system architecture approaches across product and program teams.
• Provide technical authority support for system-level engineering decisions.
• Plan, support, and document formal product architecture and design reviews.
• Assess technical options and help shape the technology roadmap.
• Coordinate architecture decisions across systems, mechanical, electrical, and other engineering stakeholders.
• Identify system-level risks, assumptions, and decision points for leadership.
• Produce engineering artifacts that capture architectural rationale and review outcomes.
• Maintain controlled analytical artifacts and supporting technical documentation.
• Execute engineering work products from requirements through verification and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate hardware, software, and operational constraints into practical solutions.
• Conduct technical analysis, identify risks, and perform trade studies to support design decisions.
• Present technical status, issues, and recommendations in formal and informal reviews.
• Contribute to proposal, planning, and execution activities aligned to program milestones.
• Maintain compliance with customer, regulatory, and security requirements in product architecture.
• Perform technical planning, requirements decomposition, interface definition, and verification strategy for mission systems.
• Execute system integration, validation, and technical baselines across concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal.
• Lead or support design reviews, peer reviews, and technical interchanges.
• Produce and maintain systems engineering artifacts, including requirements traceability, risk registers, and verification evidence.
