About the role

Torch Technologies Inc. is seeking a Mid-Level Systems IV&V Engineer to evaluate the end-to-end integration and performance of the THAAD weapon system. This role provides independent, rigorous assessment of system-level requirements, hardware/software integration, and interoperability within the broader Missile Defense System (MDS). The candidate will evaluate ground and flight test data, verify requirements traceability, and assess the system's operational readiness.

Responsibilities

• Conduct independent assessment of system-level requirements, design documentation, and interface control documents (ICDs).
• Maintain and verify requirements traceability from system-level down to component-level using tools like IBM DOORS.
• Evaluate Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) simulation data, ground test results, and flight test telemetry to validate system performance.
• Assess interoperability and integration across THAAD elements (Interceptor, Launcher, AN/TPY-2 Radar, TFCC) and external networks (e.g., C2BMC, Link-16).
• Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies to review and validate system architectures and behavioral models.
• Provide technical recommendations and risk assessments to program leadership based on IV&V findings.

Requirements

• US Citizenship.
• Bachelor of Science (BS) or Master of Science (MS) in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 5 to 8 years of professional experience in systems engineering, weapon system integration, or test and evaluation (T&E).
• Must have an active current security clearance.

Skills

• Demonstrated experience using requirements management tools (e.g., IBM DOORS).
• Familiarity with MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler) and SysML.
• Knowledge of missile defense architectures, sensor integration, and kill chain analysis.
• Ability to synthesize complex test data into actionable engineering insights and formal reports.
