Systems Engineer Level 4+
Systems Engineer III | Missile Defense | 12-Month Contract
Want to work on technology that protects national security from ground to space? We're hiring a Systems Engineer III to join a defense and space technology team delivering mission-critical solutions on MDA-aligned missile defense programs.
This isn't a back-office systems role — you'll be hands-on across requirements, verification, risk, and MBSE, working shoulder-to-shoulder with propulsion, software, hardware, GNC, quality, and safety teams, and sitting in the room for SRR, PDR, CDR and TRR reviews.
What you'll be doing:
- Owning system, subsystem and interface requirements end-to-end
- Building and running verification plans, procedures and compliance matrices
- Driving risk assessments and mitigation planning
- Building MBSE artifacts in SysML / Cameo-MagicDraw
- Working directly with customer and supplier stakeholders
What you'll bring:
- 7-10 years' systems engineering experience in DoD, aerospace or missile defense
- Strong requirements, verification and risk management background
- Hands-on SysML / Cameo Systems Modeler experience
- Familiarity with MDA processes and CDRL development
- Bachelor's in Systems/Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering or related STEM (Master's a plus — can offset a year of experience)
The details:
- Defense / missile defense sector
- 12-month contract
- Approximately 10% travel
If you thrive in a structured, mission-critical environment and want your work to matter, we'd love to hear from you.
