## Description

At Arcfield , we solve the nation's most complex challenges. We are currently seeking a Senior Software and Systems Integration Engineer to provide expert-level Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support for critical national security systems. In this role, you will be the linchpin ensuring that mission-critical information-specifically mission data, ephemeris, and ancillary data-moves securely and efficiently across the ground enterprise., Serving as a senior technical advisor at the intersection of software, data, networking, and systems engineering, you will help the Government understand how mission data is produced, exchanged, received, and consumed across highly interconnected systems. You will work across programs and organizations to identify dependencies, evaluate proposed architectural changes, and ensure that as interfaces evolve, mission data remains accurate , timely , interoperable, and highly available ., * Technical Advisory: Serve as the primary Subject Matter Expert (SME) for ephemeris, ancillary data, and associated mission data services. Advise Government stakeholders on technical risks, dependencies, and courses of action.

 * Architecture & Data Flow Analysis: Map and analyze end-to-end mission data flows (generation, transport, interfaces, receipt, processing, and consumption) to identify bottlenecks and technical constraints.
 * Interface & Network Assessment: Evaluate network connectivity and system interfaces supporting mission-critical data exchanges, ensuring seamless integration between upstream and downstream systems.
 * Requirements & Configuration Management: Drive the development, analysis, and maintenance of technical requirements. Support Requests for Change (RFCs), engineering changes, interface modifications, and configuration management activities.
 * Troubleshooting & Integration: Lead root-cause analysis of complex data exchange issues. Evaluate the impact of software, network, or architecture changes on the broader mission ecosystem.
 * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with software developers, network/systems engineers, mission operators, and external program stakeholders through technical reviews, integration events, test activities, and engineering decision forums.
 * Modernization Initiatives: Develop technical assessments and strategic recommendations to support the transition from legacy data exchanges to modernized services and architectures.
