Senior System Engineer

About the role

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on system integration, testing, troubleshooting, and technical analysis—not primarily requirements management or documentation.

Responsibilities

• Integrate, test, validate, and troubleshoot complex electronic and sensor systems
• Use Python and/or MATLAB for modeling, engineering analysis, and test-data processing
• Plan and execute laboratory and system-level testing
• Analyze performance data and identify practical, data-driven solutions
• Troubleshoot hardware, software, and system-interface issues
• Support system architecture and product-development decisions
• Collaborate with electrical, software, RF, product, and program teams
• Document test results, conclusions, and engineering recommendations

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related technical field
• Approximately 5–10+ years of relevant engineering experience
• Strong hands-on experience with system integration, testing, validation, or troubleshooting
• Practical experience using Python and/or MATLAB
• Experience with complex electronic, sensor, communications, hardware/software, or defense-related systems
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and effectively within a cross-functional engineering team
• Due to the nature of the work, U.S. citizenship is required

Preferred Experience

• Experience with radar, surveillance systems, defense/aerospace products, MIL-SPEC electronics, communications, signal processing, software-defined radio, or sensor-system integration is highly valued
• Direct radar experience is preferred but not required
• Candidates with strong engineering fundamentals and transferable experience will be considered
