Systems Engineer (Architecture & Solutioning)

Responsibilities: Support systems and mission engineering activities across the full system lifecycle, from concept development and requirements through development, integration, test, deployment, and operations. Contribute to the development and refinement of system and mission architectures based on requirements, operational concepts, interfaces, technical capabilities, and mission objectives. Support end-to-end technical solutioning efforts, from problem definition through development and assessment of candidate approaches. Analyze requirements, technical documentation, architecture products, and other engineering inputs from multiple sources to identify relationships, dependencies, inconsistencies, and opportunities for integration. Work across multidisciplinary technical domains including space, ground, communications, sensing, mission processing, data, and operations. Develop and maintain architecture views, technical assessments, solution concepts, briefings, roadmaps, and other engineering products. Support requirements decomposition and allocation by helping determine how mission objectives and system requirements translate into technical capabilities and interfaces. Identify and analyze system-level interfaces and dependencies across technical teams, capabilities, and organizations. Participate in technical working groups, design discussions, reviews, and solutioning sessions with government customers and other stakeholders. Present technical findings and recommendations to technical leads and government stakeholders.
