In this developmental engineering role, the successful candidate will assist senior technical leaders in advancing ACE's engineering capabilities by contributing to innovation efforts, internal R&D (IR&D) activities, technology insertion, and the alignment of engineering work with customer needs. This position provides hands-on experience across the engineering lifecycle-from concept exploration through analysis, integration, and transition support-while working closely with multidisciplinary technical teams. The Systems Design Engineer 2 will help translate customer requirements into practical technical solutions, support the evaluation of emerging technologies, and contribute to cross-functional coordination. This role offers strong exposure to strategic technical activities under the guidance of experienced ACE engineers and leadership, with opportunities to grow in across diverse technical domains and advanced concept development. As a Systems Design Engineer, your duties will include the following, but are not limited to: * Supporting systems engineering activities including requirements development, analysis, integration, and technical assessments. * Supporting the development and maintenance of ACE technical roadmaps and related planning activities. * Helping identify capability gaps and contribute technical inputs that strengthen ACE's position in current and adjacent areas. * Providing supporting analysis and technical input on digital engineering, modeling and simulation, and data-driven tool development. * Collaborating with Business Units and other groups to help recognize and address technical barriers under senior guidance. * Supporting integration efforts across multidisciplinary teams, including hardware, software, and system-level components. * Analyzing technical data, developing reports, and presenting findings to internal and external stakeholders. * Assisting with the development, evaluation, and transition of advanced technology concepts. * Supporting technical reviews, engineering studies, and customer engagements. * Collaborating with engineers, scientists, and program stakeholders to identify technical challenges and develop solutions. * Supporting research and development (IR&D) activities related to emerging defense technologies. * Developing technical documentation, briefings, and other engineering deliverables. ## Related Videos - [How to Domain Model – An example from manufacturing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/742-how-to-domain-model-an-example-from-manufacturing) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Data Science on Software Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/162-data-science-on-software-data) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Real-world Threat Modeling](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/936-real-world-threat-modeling) ## Related Articles - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [The Ultimate Software Engineer Career Path Guide for 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/146-the-ultimate-software-engineer-career-path-guide-for-2023) - [What Jobs Can You Get with a Software Engineering Degree?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/398-what-jobs-can-you-get-with-a-software-engineering-degree)
