We are seeking a Deputy Systems Engineering Lead with experience leading a medium-sized multi-disciplinary team which includes systems, cyber security, reliability, and logistics engineers. The ideal candidate will have experience with the development, integration, and testing of complex systems across their entire lifecycle. Your responsibilities will include managing the system engineering content and work products, which includes developing the requirements baseline, design and integration, to ultimately perform qualification testing and delivery of the product. Under your technical leadership, the team will utilize model-based systems engineering principles and Agile development process to perform operational concept development, feasibility studies, design, development, performance modeling, and hardware/software evaluation.
In this role you will:
- Leading a medium size team of Systems Engineers on EW related programs.
