Senior System Engineer-Integration

We’re hiring a Level III Systems Integration Engineer to lead the integration of software, hardware, and network subsystems into complete radar systems. You’ll take ownership of complex integration efforts - bringing together disparate components, resolving interface issues, and ensuring systems function seamlessly from the bench to the field.

What You’ll Do

Integrate Systems

• Lead the integration of software, hardware, and network components into functioning subsystems and full systems
• Define and execute integration plans, procedures, and test protocols to verify interface compatibility and system-level performance
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve integration defects across software, hardware, and network boundaries
• Configure and validate networked system architectures, including data interfaces, protocols, and communications links
• Debug integration issues spanning multiple disciplines, working closely with software, hardware, and systems engineering teams

Own Technical Delivery

• Drive integration activities to completion on time and within budget
• Analyze system and subsystem designs to identify integration risks early and recommend corrective action
• Document integration architecture, interface specifications, and test results
• Build and validate prototypes and test beds to retire integration risk ahead of full-system delivery
• Provide budget, cost, and schedule input for integration assignments

What You’ll Do

Collaborate & Mentor

• Communicate clearly, in writing and verbally, with software, hardware, program management, and customer stakeholders
• Mentor and coach less-experienced engineers on integration methods and troubleshooting techniques
• Review customer specifications and requirements, and develop integration approaches that best support them, including cost as a design variable
• Participate in proposal preparation for integration-related scope
• Attend engineering, customer, and business meetings as required
• Support, communicate, and reinforce the mission, values, and culture of the organization

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of experience in systems integration spanning software, hardware, and network domains
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot cross-disciplinary integration issues (software/hardware interfaces, network protocols, data links)
• Strong working knowledge of networked system architectures and communication protocols
• Proven ability to work independently on complex integration tasks and mentor junior engineers
• Strong written and verbal communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience with radar, RF, or defense systems is a plus
