Job DescriptionJob Description

ENGINEER V – SENIOR SYSTEMS ENGINEER

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

OVERVIEW

Integrity Communications Solutions (Integrity) is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer V (SE V) to support a Department of Defense (DoD) satellite communications (SATCOM) ground and system-of-systems development program.
The selected candidate will support complex 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 V engineers are expected to operate with a high degree of independence and take ownership of complex technical problem spaces that span multiple teams, disciplines, or Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). They are expected to integrate technical inputs, coordinate resolution of cross-functional issues, anticipate risks and dependencies, and contribute to engineering outcomes that extend beyond an individual team or subsystem.
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 will frequently require coordination across multiple technical organizations and engineering disciplines.
Candidates are not expected to have experience in every technical area listed. Integrity is seeking senior engineers with demonstrated depth in one or more systems engineering disciplines who can integrate technical work across teams, influence engineering outcomes, 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
• 10+ years of relevant systems engineering, integration, verification, test, software, digital engineering, cybersecurity, operations, or related technical experience
• Significant experience in systems engineering, integration, verification, test, software, digital engineering, cybersecurity, operations, or a related technical discipline
• Demonstrated experience owning and resolving complex technical problem spaces
• Experience integrating engineering activities across multiple teams, disciplines, or technical organizations
• Strong understanding of systems engineering lifecycle processes, including requirements development, architecture, integration, verification, validation, configuration management, and technical risk management
• Experience developing, reviewing, integrating, or overseeing technical requirements, architectures, verification products, interface documentation, models, test artifacts, or other systems engineering products
• Demonstrated ability to identify technical risks, dependencies, and integration issues and drive coordinated resolution
• Experience providing technical direction, coordination, or mentoring to other engineers without relying on formal supervisory authority
• Ability to communicate complex technical issues, risks, recommendations, and tradeoffs to technical, program, and customer 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
• Cross-system and cross-segment integration
• System integration, verification, and validation
• Test strategy, planning, execution, and analysis
• Automated software or system testing
• Digital engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
• Configuration Management and Data Management (CM/DM)
• Technical risk identification, assessment, and mitigation
• Cybersecurity engineering
• SATCOM Ground systems
• Command and Control (C2)
• Mission planning
• Operational support and sustainment
• Third-party system or software integration
• Technical baseline development and engineering governance

QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience supporting DoD, Space, SATCOM, Ground Segment, or other complex mission systems
• Experience integrating technical efforts across multiple engineering organizations or IPTs
• 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
• Significant experience supporting system integration, verification, validation, or test activities
• Experience developing or shaping test and verification strategies for complex systems
• Experience with automated test frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, pytest, or similar technologies
• Experience working in Agile or Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) development environments
• Experience supporting or contributing to technical reviews and baseline activities such as System Requirements Review (SRR), System Functional Review (SFR), Test Readiness Review (TRR), or Program Engineering Review Board (PERB)
• Experience developing or improving engineering processes, technical standards, or repeatable workflows
• Familiarity with cybersecurity engineering or secure-system development
• Familiarity with configuration management, data management, or technical risk management processes
