Overview Midlevel Systems Engineer Job Location:
Dahlgren, VA Job Status:
Full Time Clearance:
Secret Travel :
Up to 25%
Salary:
$110,000 - $130,000 We are looking for a driven Systems Engineer to join our team in supporting the
AN/SLQ-32
(V)7 Electronic Warfare Spectrum Operations (EWSO) program. This role is pivotal in bridging the gap between high-end Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities and Integrated Combat Systems. The successful candidate will apply core systems engineering principles, including requirements maturation, system-of-systems integration, and lifecycle validation, to ensure the warfighter has a resilient and effective EW suite. You will work directly with government stakeholders to mature the (V)7 variant, moving from abstract mission needs into validated tactical scenarios and data-backed performance analysis.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS
United States Citizenship A bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in an engineering, scientific, or technical discipline is required. Minimum 5+ years (Journeyman) of systems engineering experience. Candidates with significant experience in Electronic Warfare or Combat Systems may be considered for a Senior Engineer level. Demonstrated experience in requirements development, system design documentation, and the technical review process. Strong ability to analyze complex, multi-domain datasets and author formal, compliant technical reports, test plans, and executive briefs. Proven ability to develop system requirements and technical documentation. Strong capability to analyze complex datasets and translate them into formal, compliant test reports and briefs. Comfortable working 100% on-site in a government lab environment and participating in high-level technical meetings.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS
EW/Combat Systems:
Direct experience with the
AN/SLQ-32
family of systems or Aegis Weapon System integration.
Specific Program Knowledge:
Familiarity with Electronic Warfare (EW) mission areas and the SEWIP program. Experience with tactical simulators and the ability to run test scenarios.
Self-Starter:
Ability to troubleshoot simulation runs and technical issues independently with minimal guidance.
Systems Integration:
Experience with System-of-Systems (SoS) integration, specifically regarding sensor-to-shooter loops or electromagnetic spectrum operations.
Testing Rigor:
Experience defining "Success Criteria" and "Measures of Performance" (MOPs/MOEs) for complex, multi-domain system tests.
Tools:
Familiarity with requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS) or Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Full Lifecycle Systems Engineering:
Lead the technical analysis and integration of the
AN/SLQ-32
(V)7 variant into larger shipboard Combat Systems (e.g., Aegis), ensuring interoperability and mission success.
Requirements Engineering:
Drive the definition, decomposition, and traceability of system-level requirements. Translate high-level operational needs into detailed technical specifications for EW software and hardware components.
Technical Stakeholder Management:
Act as a technical subject matter expert during formal reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR), design sit-downs, and working groups, ensuring technical integrity across the program lifecycle. Modeling & Simulation (M&S): Develop complex test scenarios within tactical simulation environments (such as TACSIM) to model
AN/SLQ-32
(V)7 performance against representative threats.
System Validation & Troubleshooting:
Execute simulation runs, identify system anomalies, and perform root-cause analysis to resolve integration blockers between EW suites and combat management systems.
Data-Driven Decision Support:
Collect, reduce, and analyze tactical data from simulation and test events. Draft formal technical reports and briefs that translate raw data into actionable engineering recommendations. Verification & Validation (V&V): Support approximately one Test & Evaluation (T&E) event per month, validating that system performance meets established benchmarks in tactically relevant environments. #LI-AD1 #
