About the Role

We're seeking a Principal Systems Engineer to join a leading defense technology organization supporting advanced electronic warfare and warfighter systems programs. This role operates at an advanced technical level — leading requirements analysis, technical planning, systems-level design, integration, verification and validation, and risk management across the full product lifecycle, from concept through fabrication, test, and sustainment. You'll provide technical leadership to a multidisciplinary team developing electro-optical devices for warfighter systems.

This position offers relocation assistance, a sign-on bonus, and reimbursed travel for onsite interviews. We welcome candidates open to relocating to any of the above locations.

What You'll Do

  • Lead a multidisciplinary sensor development team
  • Lead development of the project lifecycle plan, including major milestones, reviews, and deliverables
  • Develop, design, allocate, and manage user- and system-level requirements
  • Lead development of system architecture
  • Evaluate design tradeoffs and lead technical discussions across a multidisciplinary engineering team
  • Define and assess interfaces with functional leads and outside organizations
  • Lead technical reviews throughout the project lifecycle
  • Provide oversight of verification and validation activities, including requirements traceability and compliance
  • Support transition of products into manufacturing alongside operations and manufacturing engineering

What You'll Need

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering
  • Ability to obtain a Secret clearance
  • 8+ years of systems engineering experience
  • Experience working within the aerospace or defense industry, delivering solutions to appropriate industry standards
  • Experience with customer discovery and stakeholder needs/requirements
  • Experience with requirements management, flow-down, and verification & validation across the product lifecycle
  • Excellent communication skills with multidisciplinary engineering teams and government customers
  • Experience providing technical leadership to multidisciplinary design teams (electrical, mechanical, optical, image science, software, firmware, or test engineers)
  • Strong written (reports, proposals, white papers) and verbal (technical presentations) communication skills

Nice to Have

  • Master's degree in Engineering
  • Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), particularly Cameo
  • Experience with VIS-NIR cameras
  • INCOSE CSEP or ESEP certification
  • Experience with electro-optical imaging systems — design, integration, and test
  • Experience delivering compliant electro-optical imaging systems to customer requirements

Additional Requirements

  • U.S. Citizenship required
  • Must be able to obtain a security clearance
  • Background check and drug screening required
  • Onsite interview required
