Principal Systems Engineering Architect

Principal Systems Engineering Architect Camgian is seeking an experienced Systems Engineering Architect to support c-UAS, IAMD, & Multi-Domain Systems. As a Principal Systems Engineering Architect, the successful candidate will lead mission architecture and technical integration of REACTOR® and its Cognitive Decision Aids (CDAs) across c-UAS, IAMD, and broader multi-domain missions. The role translates operational needs into architectures, requirements, interfaces, verification strategies, and deployment-ready technical baselines. The successful candidate will work across mission engineering, software-intensive systems, C2 integration, sensor/track data, and AI-enabled decision support. This role ensures REACTOR capabilities such as threat prioritization, weapon-target assignment, flight-path prediction, and future course-of-action aids are operationally meaningful, coherent, testable, and extensible. Strong collaboration across product, engineering, AI/ML, integration, test, customers, and leadership is essential. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in systems engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or a related technical field with at least 10 years of applicable experience; or a master's degree with at least 8 years Strong systems engineering experience spanning mission analysis, architecture, requirements, interfaces, integration, verification/validation, and operational evaluation Experience architecting or integrating software-intensive defense or mission systems involving sensors, tracks, C2, effectors, or decision-support capabilities Working knowledge of c-UAS, air and missile defense, kill-chain / kill-web concepts, or closely related mission systems Hands-on project experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering / Model-Based Engineering methods using tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, IBM Rhapsody, Sparx Enterprise Architect, or comparable platforms Experience developing system or software architectures using MBSE/MDE tools and languages such as Cameo, Enterprise Architect, SysML, UML, or equivalent Experience defining interfaces and data exchanges and performing technical trade studies across mission performance, integration risk, cybersecurity, and deployment constraints Demonstrated ability to coordinate cross-functional technical stakeholders and drive decisions to closure United States Citizenship Desired Skills and Domain Experience Hands-on experience with c-UAS, IAMD, counter-rocket/artillery/mortar, air defense, fires, or multi-domain C2 systems Knowledge of target tracking, sensor fusion, combat identification, threat evaluation, engagement planning, weapon-target assignment, or engagement timeline analysis Experience integrating with military C2 ecosystems, tactical networks, sensor/effector systems, or common tactical data/message standards Experience with AI/ML-enabled mission applications, including uncertainty, explainability, human-machine teaming, performance characterization, and operational test considerations Experience with mission or digital engineering, simulation, requirements traceability, or model-based test and evaluation Familiarity with DevSecOps, cloud/edge deployment, containerized services, distributed data architectures, and degraded or disconnected operations Active or recent DoD security clearance Key Responsibilities Lead system and mission architecture for REACTOR deployments and product extensions across c-UAS, IAMD, and multi-domain mission problems Translate operational concepts, mission threads, customer needs, and product objectives into architectures, system requirements, interfaces, and measurable acceptance criteria Architect end-to-end decision workflows and define how REACTOR CDAs consume mission, sensor, track, policy, and resource information to support operator decisions and automation Develop and maintain MBSE artifacts and ensure coherence across system/software architecture, AI/ML components, data models, cybersecurity, interfaces, and deployment environments Define interface control needs and data contracts for sensors, track sources, C2 systems, effectors, and external systems; promote MOSA principles and reusable services across domains Partner with Product Management and feature leads to define implementable features, verification plans, demos, and acceptance criteria; perform trade studies and drive technical risk reduction Lead or support integration planning, technical reviews, verification and validation, test events, demonstrations, and operational performance analysis Serve as a senior systems engineering and architecture authority, mentoring teams and communicating technical recommendations, tradeoffs, and mission concepts to customers and leadership Camgian Culture and Core Value Traits Ability to work as part of a team while maintaining independent thinking Self-driven and self-starter in addition to excellent communication skills Thinking outside the box and an aptitude for innovation and problem solving Always willing to explore the other side of fear, be challenged and to crave cutting edge technologies Camgian
