This role involves guiding our Digital Engineering strategy and collaborating with Modeling and Simulation, Product Engineering, and Business Development teams to support the development, delivery, and sustainment of open architectures and associated enterprise products.

As a Systems Engineer, you will interface with both internal programs and external customers to develop artifacts based on stakeholder needs.

Proficiency with SysML, DoDAF, UAFP, or similar, as well as experience developing various model-based system engineering artifacts and using tools like Cameo MagicDraw, is required. Outstanding communication skills and an active U.S. Secret security clearance are also necessary.

The salary range for this role is $166,000 to $220,000 annually, with actual offers varying based on factors such as work experience, education, and critical skills. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers.
