Technical Systems Engineering Manager

Confidential Defense Technology Company | Herndon, VA | Onsite, 5 days/week

A growing defense technology company is seeking a hands-on Technical Systems Engineering Manager to support the integration, testing, troubleshooting, and successful deployment of advanced hardware/software systems.

This is a highly visible opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the product—not just managing requirements from a distance. You will work across engineering, operations, training, and customer stakeholders to ensure systems are integrated, tested, documented, and ready for real-world use.

What you'll do:

Lead and support technical system integration, testing, troubleshooting, and customer deployment activities
Act as a key technical bridge between U.S. customers and an R&D/engineering team
Diagnose system issues, drive root-cause analysis, and help move solutions through resolution
Support product validation, technical documentation, training, and continuous-improvement efforts
Coordinate across hardware, software, systems, operations, and customer teams
Help build scalable technical processes as the organization continues to grow

What we're looking for:

5+ years of systems engineering experience
Hands-on experience with system integration, test, validation, troubleshooting, and technical documentation
Defense, aerospace, weapons, sensors, electro-optics, RF, radar, robotics, or other complex hardware/software systems experience strongly preferred
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, build-from-scratch environment
Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with customers, technical teams, and senior stakeholders
U.S. citizenship required; an active security clearance is a plus
Ability to work onsite in Herndon, VA five days per week and travel approximately 20%, including occasional international travel

If you are a technically strong systems engineer who enjoys solving real problems and working with complex products, we want to hear from you!
