This role owns the systems architecture, interface definitions, integration testing, and configuration management for the complete program data pipeline. The Systems Engineer ensures that the Collect-Transmit-Store-Analyze-Act chain functions reliably across all environments, manages system engineering documentation, and leads troubleshooting of complex cross-domain issues. This individual works at the intersection of hardware (data loggers, WAPs, connectors), networking (MCEN, Wi-Fi), cloud infrastructure (Azure, Jupiter/Advana), and software (dashboards, AI/ML models) to maintain system integrity and support capability growth., Own and maintain the program systems architecture from data logger hardware through MCEN Azure cloud to Jupiter/Advana enterprise environments Define and manage interface specifications between system components: data loggers, WAPs, MCEN network, Azure cloud services, and Advana/Jupiter Lead systems integration and test activities at the SITF (Blount Island Command) and coordinate with LIF for commercial prototyping validation Support the dual ATO (MCPIC 2.0/3.0) by ensuring all system changes maintain cybersecurity compliance with NIST 800-53 rev5 controls and STIG requirements Manage the ETL data pipeline architecture from CAN bus data collection through processing, storage, and delivery to analytics and visualization layers Lead system-level troubleshooting for complex issues spanning hardware, networking, and cloud components Develop and maintain systems engineering documentation including system architecture diagrams, interface control documents, and test procedures Support EIA-649 Configuration Management processes through the Enterprise Configuration Control Board (ECCB), tracking all hardware configurations, software versions, and system changes Manage software development lifecycle activities per ISO/IEC 14764, including release management (emergency, iterative, and major releases) and source code deliverables Coordinate WAP-to-MCEN transition planning per PWS 3.3.4 and support wireless connectivity optimization across installation sites Support MIL-STD-882 system safety analysis for the program system, including hazard analysis for vehicle-mounted hardware Evaluate emerging technology integration (satellite tags, edge computing, autonomous systems) for future capability insertion ## Related Videos - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [A Hitchhikers Guide to Container Security - Automotive Edition 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1119-a-hitchhikers-guide-to-container-security-automotive-edition-2024) - [Crypto-secure Data Management with In-Database Blockchain](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/632-crypto-secure-data-management-with-in-database-blockchain) - [DevSecOps: Injecting Security into Mobile CI/CD Pipelines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/273-devsecops-injecting-security-into-mobile-ci-cd-pipelines) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [DevSecOps culture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/783-devsecops-culture) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
