Drive aviation and transportation modernization as a Systems Engineer shaping the future of enterprise-scale systems.
Job Overview
We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to support enterprise-level aviation, transportation, and technical modernization efforts. The role will focus on providing systems engineering expertise across the full system lifecycle, including concept development, requirements analysis, system design, integration, testing, deployment, and sustainment. The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in engineering disciplines and demonstrate the ability to analyze complex technical environments, recommend improvements, and support the transition of legacy systems to modernized architectures.
This role is remote, with occasional travel to customer or partner sites as needed.
Responsibilities
• Provide system-level analysis and engineering expertise across multiple domains (e.g., communications, automation, navigation, data, enterprise IT, and safety).
• Support the definition, analysis, and validation of requirements, including functional, performance, and interface requirements.
• Develop technical documentation, system models, and architecture artifacts to support engineering and program decisions.
• Conduct trade studies, feasibility assessments, and risk analysis to inform technical and programmatic direction.
• Support the integration and interoperability of systems within enterprise and operational environments.
• Contribute to testing and evaluation planning, including verification and validation of system performance.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams, government stakeholders, and industry partners.
• Apply systems engineering best practices to ensure quality, safety, and reliability of delivered solutions.
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physical Sciences, Computer Science, or related field.
• 15+ years of relevant systems engineering experience.
• Demonstrated expertise in system lifecycle engineering, including requirements, design, integration, and test.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience supporting large-scale technical programs with multiple stakeholders.
• U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident for 3 year
• Ability to obtain FAA security suitability.
Preferred Qualifications
• Advanced degree in Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
• Familiarity with FAA systems, National Airspace System (NAS) environments, or other large-scale government/transportation systems.
• Experience with modernization of legacy systems into service-based or cloud-based architectures.
• Knowledge of model-based systems engineering (MBSE), enterprise architecture frameworks (e.g., DoDAF), or digital engineering tools.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity, data management, or safety risk management in complex systems.
• Professional certifications (e.g., INCOSE CSEP, PMP) a plus.
