Job description

M3 Technical Solutions Inc. (M3TS)is seeking an experiencedSystems Engineerto support a U.S. Army program in Huntsville, Alabama.

This position will support the development and integration of advanced systems involvingradio frequency (RF), electro-optical/laser, communications, and space-related technologies.

The Systems Engineer will work across technical disciplines to translate mission and program needs into well-defined system and subsystem requirements, maintain requirements traceability, evaluate system interfaces, and support integration and verification activities.

We are looking for an engineer who understands not only how to document requirements, butwhy a requirement exists, how it decomposes across the system, which interfaces it affects, and how the team ultimately verifies that the requirement has been satisfied.

Anticipated Start Date:November 15, 2026

Salary Range:$150,000 - $190,000 annually

Travel:Up to 10%, with limited travel anticipated

Clearance:Active Top Secret U.S. Government security clearance required
