Travel: 10-15% travel will be required between our Colorado and Ohio facilities.

• Lead systems engineering activities across the full system lifecycle, including requirements development, architecture definition, trade studies, integration, verification, and validation.
• Develop, manage, and maintain system requirements, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), and technical baselines.
• Architect and integrate multi-domain defense systems, including:
• Aircraft-installed systems (ISR, communications, power distribution, and networking)
• Transportable and modular expeditionary shelter systems
• SCIF and secure communications environments
• Coordinate integration efforts across mechanical, electrical, power, thermal, EMI/EMC, network, and software domains.
• Support aircraft modification efforts, including non-permanent (e.g., T-2/T-3) installations, while minimizing airworthiness and certification risk.
• Perform technical trade studies to balance performance, cost, schedule, and program risk.
• Develop and support system verification and validation plans, test procedures, and acceptance activities (ground and flight test, as applicable).
• Collaborate with program management, manufacturing, test, and customers to ensure technical alignment and successful execution.
• Identify, track, and mitigate technical risks throughout design and integration activities.
• Contribute to proposal development efforts, including ROMs, schedules, system architectures, and technical volumes, as required.
• Apply our core values in daily work: Deploy Faster by streamlining integration and delivery processes, Operate with Confidence by ensuring systems are reliable and certifiable, and Design with Purpose by making intentional, mission-focused design decisions.

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering or integrated product development within defense or aerospace environments.
• Experience supporting military platforms, aircraft systems, or deployable/expeditionary defense infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of:
• Requirements development, management, and traceability
• System architecture definition and subsystem integration
• Verification and validation planning and execution
• Familiarity with DoD acquisition environments and technical documentation standards.
• Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with military aircraft modification programs (e.g., C-130, C-17, ISR or special mission platforms).
• Experience with expeditionary, transportable, or modular shelter systems.
• Experience with SCIF design, secure networking, or TEMPEST considerations.
• Familiarity with applicable MIL-STD requirements (e.g., MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704).
• Experience using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools such as SysML, Cameo, DOORS, or similar.
• Background in communications, SATCOM, ISR, or mission systems integration.
• Must be able to qualify for and maintain at least a Secret Security Clearance.
