## Description

Join a growing engineering team developing advanced embedded and high-speed communication systems supporting defense and mission-critical applications.

As a Systems Engineer, you will lead system architecture, requirements development, hardware/software integration, and verification activities across complex embedded platforms. You'll work closely with software, electrical, FPGA, test, and manufacturing teams to ensure technical solutions meet customer requirements from concept through production.

This is an excellent opportunity for a systems engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, influencing product architecture, and driving programs from initial design through integration, test, and deployment.

What You'll Do

 * Lead system architecture, requirements development, and technical planning activities
 * Define, decompose, and manage requirements throughout the product lifecycle
 * Develop and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs), verification plans, and system-level technical documentation
 * Coordinate hardware, software, FPGA, and test engineering activities
 * Lead system integration, verification, validation, and formal design reviews
 * Manage technical risks and drive resolution of system-level issues
 * Support customer interactions, technical presentations, and program reviews
 * Collaborate with manufacturing and production teams to ensure successful product transition
 * Support Agile development and cross-functional engineering efforts
 * Mentor junior engineers and help drive systems engineering best practices
