Job summary

Camgian seeks an experienced Systems Engineering Architect to lead mission architecture and integration of REACTOR and its Cognitive Decision Aids across c-UAS, IAMD, and multi-domain missions.

The role translates operational needs into architectures, requirements, interfaces, verification strategies, and deployment-ready baselines, collaborating with product, engineering, AI/ML, integration, and customers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in systems engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or a related technical field with at least 10 years of applicable experience; or a master's degree with at least 8 years
• Strong systems engineering experience spanning mission analysis, architecture, requirements, interfaces, integration, verification/validation, and operational evaluation
• Experience architecting or integrating software-intensive defense or mission systems involving sensors, tracks, C2, effectors, or decision-support capabilities
• Working knowledge of c-UAS, air and missile defense, kill-chain / kill-web concepts, or closely related mission systems
• Hands-on project experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering / MBSE methods using tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, IBM Rhapsody, Sparx Enterprise Architect, or comparable platforms
• Experience developing system or software architectures using MBSE/MDE tools and languages such as Cameo, Enterprise Architect, SysML, UML, or equivalent
• Experience defining interfaces and data exchanges and performing technical trade studies across mission performance, integration risk, cybersecurity, and deployment constraints
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate cross-functional technical stakeholders and drive decisions to closure
• United States Citizenship

Responsibilities

• Lead system and mission architecture for REACTOR deployments and product extensions across c-UAS, IAMD, and multi-domain mission problems
• Translate operational concepts, mission threads, customer needs, and product objectives into architectures, system requirements, interfaces, and measurable acceptance criteria
• Architect end-to-end decision workflows and define how REACTOR CDAs consume mission, sensor, track, policy, and resource information to support operator decisions and automation
• Develop and maintain MBSE artifacts and ensure coherence across system/software architecture, AI/ML components, data models, cybersecurity, interfaces, and deployment environments
• Define interface control needs and data contracts for sensors, track sources, C2 systems, effectors, and external systems; promote MOSA principles and reusable services across domains
• Partner with Product Management and feature leads to define implementable features, verification plans, demos, and acceptance criteria; perform trade studies and drive technical risk reduction
• Lead or support integration planning, technical reviews, verification and validation, test events, demonstrations, and operational performance analysis
• Serve as a senior systems engineering and architecture authority, mentoring teams and communicating technical recommendations, tradeoffs, and mission concepts to customers and leadership

Job description

Camgian is seeking an experienced Systems Engineering Architect to support c-UAS, IAMD, & Multi-Domain Systems. As a Principal Systems Engineering Architect, the successful candidate will lead mission architecture and technical integration of REACTOR® and its Cognitive Decision Aids (CDAs) across c-UAS, IAMD, and broader multi-domain missions.

The role translates operational needs into architectures, requirements, interfaces, verification strategies, and deployment-ready technical baselines.

The role translates operational needs into architectures, requirements, interfaces, verification strategies, and deployment-ready technical baselines.

The successful candidate will work across mission engineering, software-intensive systems, C2 integration, sensor/track data, and AI-enabled decision support. This role ensures REACTOR capabilities such as threat prioritization, weapon-target assignment, flight-path prediction, and future course-of-action aids are operationally meaningful, coherent, testable, and extensible. Strong collaboration across product, engineering, AI/ML, integration, test, customers, and leadership is essential.
