Job description

ENGINEER IV – SYSTEMS ENGINEER

Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Clearance: Active Secret clearance required; ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI eligibility preferred

OVERVIEW

Integrity Communications Solutions (Integrity) is seeking an experienced Systems Engineer IV (SE IV) to support a Department of Defense (DoD) satellite communications (SATCOM) ground and system-of-systems development program.

The selected candidate will support multidisciplinary systems engineering activities across one or more technical areas, which may include system-of-systems engineering, Ground Segment engineering, requirements development and management, architecture and interface definition, integration and verification, test engineering, digital engineering, cybersecurity engineering, configuration and data management, risk management, or technical planning and documentation.

SE IV engineers are expected to take ownership of defined engineering scope and drive work through completion, coordinating across technical disciplines and resolving issues and dependencies within their area of responsibility. Assignments may involve ownership of a feature, workflow, subsystem, engineering product, verification area, or other defined technical problem space.

Engineers may support either System-of-Systems Integration (SoSI) or Ground Integration (GI) activities depending on individual experience, strengths, interests, and program needs. Work may span system-level, segment-level, element-level, or component-level engineering and typically requires coordination with systems engineers, software developers, test engineers, cybersecurity engineers, digital engineering personnel, operators, and other technical stakeholders.

Candidates are not expected to have experience in every technical area listed. Integrity is seeking experienced engineers with demonstrated capability in one or more systems engineering disciplines who can independently own technical work, coordinate across teams, and contribute to delivery of mission-critical capabilities supporting the warfighter.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline
• 6+ years of relevant systems engineering, integration, verification, test, software, digital engineering, cybersecurity, operations, or related technical experience
• Relevant experience in systems engineering, integration, verification, test, software, digital engineering, cybersecurity, operations, or a related technical discipline
• Demonstrated experience independently owning and completing defined engineering work
• Experience applying systems engineering lifecycle processes, including requirements development, architecture, integration, verification, validation, and configuration management
• Experience developing, reviewing, maintaining, or coordinating technical requirements, engineering documentation, test products, interface documentation, models, or other systems engineering artifacts
• Ability to identify technical issues, assess impacts and dependencies, and drive issues toward resolution within assigned scope
• Experience coordinating technical work across multiple disciplines or teams
• Ability to communicate technical issues, risks, recommendations, and status effectively to technical and program stakeholders
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and technical writing skills
• Active DoD Secret clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain required program access

AREAS OF RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Candidates may bring experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Systems engineering and system-of-systems integration
• Requirements development, analysis, management, and traceability
• System, segment, element, or component architecture
• Interface definition and Interface Control Documents (ICDs)
• Software and system interfaces, including APIs and distributed software systems
• System integration and verification
• Test planning, procedure development, execution, and analysis
• Automated software or system testing
• Digital engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
• Configuration Management and Data Management (CM/DM)
• Risk identification, assessment, and management
• Cybersecurity engineering
• SATCOM Ground systems
• Command and Control (C2)
• Mission planning
• Operational support and sustainment
• Third-party system or software integration

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience supporting DoD, Space, SATCOM, Ground Segment, or other complex mission systems
• Experience with requirements management tools such as IBM DOORS
• Experience with architecture or modeling tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler
• Experience with interface specifications, APIs, OpenAPI/Swagger, or ICD development
• Experience supporting system integration, verification, validation, or test activities
• Experience developing or overseeing automated test activities using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, pytest, or similar frameworks
• Experience coordinating work across multiple engineering teams or technical disciplines
• Experience working in Agile or Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) development environments
• Experience contributing to technical reviews or baseline activities such as System Requirements Review (SRR), System Functional Review (SFR), Test Readiness Review (TRR), or Program Engineering Review Board (PERB)
• Familiarity with cybersecurity engineering or secure-system development
• Familiarity with configuration management, data management, or technical risk management processes

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Depending on assignment, responsibilities may include:

• Own defined engineering scope, such as a feature, workflow, subsystem, engineering product, verification area, or technical problem
• Drive assigned engineering work from planning through completion while maintaining technical quality, schedule awareness, and coordination with dependent activities
• Develop, analyze, refine, and maintain system, segment, element, or component requirements
• Ensure appropriate traceability between requirements, architecture, interfaces, implementation, and verification products
