## Description

The Systems Engineering Lead provides technical leadership and execution oversight across the full systems engineering lifecycle for complex space and ground systems. This role is responsible for establishing disciplined, model-based engineering practices that strengthen architecture integrity, improve traceability, reduce risk, and enhance overall system quality. The Systems Engineering Lead ensures authoritative data, systems architecture, and model-based approaches are integrated throughout program execution, supporting mission success from concept through sustainment., Systems Engineering Lifecycle Leadership

 * Define, manage, and continuously improve the complete systems engineering lifecycle using authoritative data, systems architecture, and systems modeling to create efficient, low-risk processes that produce high-quality artifacts
 * Lead technical requirements development by codifying model-based systems engineering (MBSE) practices and designing test-driven requirements architectures that ensure full verification traceability
 * Lead the systems design process by decomposing systems into functional and logical architectures, identifying reusable components, and ensuring adherence to Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) principles
 * Oversee implementation activities by aligning execution to formal change management processes and maintaining current, authoritative design artifacts

Integration, Verification & Validation

 * Lead system integration efforts by developing data-driven and model-based interface control processes, incorporating automation where appropriate to verify subsystem and component compliance with interface designs
 * Architect and oversee verification activities, including unit, subsystem, integration, and end-to-end testing, ensuring test environments maintain operational parity
 * Lead validation planning and execution, including development of user acceptance strategies and coordination with customers and stakeholders

Sustainment & Continuous Improvement
