## About the Role

MTSI is seeking a highly skilled **Senior Systems Engineer** to support **Software, Compute, and Autonomy capabilities** within an **Integrated Capabilities Team (ICT)** under AFLCMC/WA at WrightPatterson AFB. The selected candidate will provide deep technical leadership in systems engineering, open architectures, autonomy-enabling software, and secure compute environments.
This role emphasizes architecture development, system-of-systems integration, and mission-driven engineering analysis across advanced Air Force capability portfolios.
The candidate will work across diverse technical disciplines, organizational boundaries, and security levels to deliver integrated solutions supporting nextgeneration warfighting capabilities. **Key Responsibilities** *Guide system engineering efforts supporting the development, integration, and maturation of **software, autonomy, and computecentric capabilities** within an ICT. *Assess, analyze, and assess **open architecture approaches**, including **SOSA**, **AMS GRA**, and **UCI**, to ensure interoperability and modularity across system-of-systems environments. * Conduct system engineering assessments covering: - Open architecture definition and modeling - Computer and network engineering constraints and performance - System and cyber security engineering - Software engineering, modularization, and integration *Translate abstract operational needs and capability gaps into actionable engineering tasks, acquisition artifacts, and technical recommendations. *Organize complex technical
data into **executivelevel briefings**, providing clarity for senior leadership and decision-makers. *Evaluate vendor designs, software architectures, interface definitions, and integration plans across compute, autonomy, and mission system domains. *Support multiple engineering and collaboration environments including classified IT systems, multilevel VTC, and inperson technical exchanges. *Guide and task-organize crossfunctional teams to drive completion of engineering assessments, technical reviews, and program milestones. *Work collaboratively across government, industry, and research partners-bridging organizational and functional boundaries to produce integrated outcomes. **Position Requirements** ***In-depth knowledge of open architecture frameworks**, including: - Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) - Air Force/Army Mission Systems **AMS GRA** - **UCI** (Universal Command and Control Interface) standards * Strong foundation in systems engineering principles, including: -
Open architecture design - Computer and network engineering - System and cyber security engineering - Software engineering lifecycle practices *Ability to integrate and reason about **abstract concepts** (e.g., autonomy, distributed compute, digital engineering) to produce acquisition-relevant outcomes. *Proven ability to work effectively across organizational and functional boundaries. *Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex technical information into concise, decisionready executive summaries. *Ability to work efficiently across multiple security levels and collaboration environments. *Experience coordinating and leading technical teams to successful completion of tasks. **Qualifications:** *Possess minimum of 10 years of relevant work experience *Experience working in a DoW program or product acquisition office or environment *Have no less than three (3) years' experience in a Special Access Program (SAP) and/or Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) environment
