Senior Systems Engineer supporting DoD satellite communications ground and system-of-systems programs. The role owns complex technical problem spaces, integrates work across engineering teams, develops requirements and architectures, coordinates integration and verification, manages technical risks and dependencies, supports testing and technical baselines, and contributes to engineering processes and reviews. The engineer also mentors peers, facilitates technical working groups, and communicates recommendations to program and customer stakeholders.
ENGINEER V – SENIOR SYSTEMS ENGINEER
Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Clearance: Active Secret clearance required; ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI eligibility preferred
OVERVIEW
Integrity Communications Solutions (Integrity) is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer V (SE V) to support a Department of Defense (DoD) satellite communications (SATCOM) ground and system-of-systems development program.
The selected candidate will support complex multidisciplinary systems engineering activities across one or more technical areas, which may include system-of-systems engineering, Ground Segment engineering, requirements development and management, architecture and interface definition, integration and verification, test engineering, digital engineering, cybersecurity engineering, configuration and data management, risk management, or technical planning and documentation.
SE V engineers are expected to operate with a high degree of independence and take ownership of complex technical problem spaces that span multiple teams, disciplines, or Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). They are expected to integrate technical inputs, coordinate resolution of cross-functional issues, anticipate risks and dependencies, and contribute to engineering outcomes that extend beyond an individual team or subsystem.
Engineers may support either System-of-Systems Integration (SoSI) or Ground Integration (GI) activities depending on individual experience, strengths, interests, and program needs. Work may span system-level, segment-level, element-level, or component-level engineering and will frequently require coordination across multiple technical organizations and engineering disciplines.
Candidates are not expected to have experience in every technical area listed. Integrity is seeking senior engineers with demonstrated depth in one or more systems engineering disciplines who can integrate technical work across teams, influence engineering outcomes, and contribute to delivery of mission-critical capabilities supporting the warfighter.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Candidates may bring experience in one or more of the following areas:
Depending on assignment, responsibilities may include:
