This position applies interdisciplinary engineering skills across technical planning, systems integration, verification and validation (V&V), cost/risk, and supportability/effectiveness analyses.
Interdisciplinary Systems Engineering: Apply interdisciplinary engineering skills to support system-of-systems integration, technical planning, requirements allocation, and interface definition across Gray Eagle sub-systems, payloads, and ground control elements.

• Full Lifecycle Analysis: Perform comprehensive engineering analyses across all stages of the total system product lifecycle—including concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal.
• Execute functional analyses, timeline analyses, and detailed trade studies to ensure the logical and systematic conversion of operational/customer requirements into total systems solutions and technical specifications within program constraints.
• Review engineering work products, Technical Data Packages (TDPs), system modifications, and test results for technical rigor, completeness, and adherence to system requirements.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a technical bridge across diverse engineering disciplines (hardware, aerospace, communications, cyber, electrical, manufacturing, and mechanical). Work directly within APM-led cross-functional teams alongside government matrix engineers, Army labs, testing facilities, external program offices (e.g., Acquisition Engineering Support: Provide system engineering inputs to establish sound technical baselines, Statements of Work (SOWs), system specifications, and technical documentation for contract requirement packages.

Active DoD Secret Security Clearance.

• Bachelor of Science (BS) in an Engineering discipline (e.g., Systems, Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Software Engineering) or a related hard science.
• Broad technical understanding encompassing hardware, aerospace, communications, cyber, electrical, manufacturing, or mechanical engineering domains, with the ability to technically execute across disciplines.
• Systems Engineering Rigor: Demonstrated experience in functional analysis, requirements allocation, interface control, trade studies, and verification/validation (V&V) processes.
• Ability to analyze complex technical challenges at the total-system level while maintaining focus on how technical outcomes drive cost, schedule, risk, test execution, and qualification/certification milestones.
• Excellent interpersonal and collaborative skills to work effectively within matrixed APM structures and interface seamlessly with multi-disciplinary government and contractor teams.

Direct experience supporting Army Aviation, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), or complex payload/sensor integration programs.

• Background in developmental/operational testing (DT/OT), flight test integration, or airworthiness qualification processes.
• Familiarity with working inside an APM/PM structure within PEO Aviation or equivalent DoD acquisition organizations.
