This Systems Engineer may have the opportunity to present their work in formal settings to the customer and travel to customer sites / subcontractor sites (approximately 10% of the time).
The Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization which supports multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments. When the radar program ends the Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio. A candidate with experience in other engineering areas such as Test Model-Based Systems Engineering Human Factors Risk Management and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. However a strong background in traditional systems engineering and technical leadership is what is required for this position.
