## Description

Lead systems engineering efforts for Department of Defense intelligence, electronic warfare, and cyber systems. As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will:

 * Lead Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) initiatives to establish and maintain digital engineering baselines for intelligence, EW, and cyber systems
 * Develop and manage Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) artifacts and system views to support program architecture decisions
 * Ensure Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) compliance across defense systems and programs
 * Develop product roadmaps and technology insertion strategies for next-generation C5ISR capabilities
 * Provide System-of-Systems (SoS) engineering leadership to establish technical baselines and architectural direction
 * Interface with government program offices and other defense contractors on complex system integration efforts, * Lead MBSE methodology implementation using SysML and digital engineering tools to transition from document-centric to model-centric engineering
 * Develop and maintain DoDAF operational viewpoints (OV), system viewpoints (SV), and technical standards viewpoints to support capability analysis and system integration
 * Establish and enforce MOSA, SOSA, and CMOSS compliance across hardware and software architectures to enable interoperability and technology refresh
 * Create and maintain product roadmaps identifying technology gaps, modernization opportunities, and pre-planned product improvements (P3I)
 * Perform requirements analysis, architecture trade studies, and capability mapping across tactical and enterprise intelligence systems
 * Lead technical baseline reviews, Engineering Review Boards (ERBs), and architecture governance activities
 * Support SIGINT/EW modernization, open architectures, and advanced prototyping initiatives
 * Coordinate with cross-functional teams including cybersecurity, software engineering, AI/ML, and test & evaluation
 * Develop technical documentation including system architecture documents, interface control documents (ICDs), and engineering artifacts
 * Mentor junior systems engineers and provide technical guidance to integrated product teams
