Job Description

We are seeking several Systems Engineers, L1-L4, to support the development of complex aerospace and defense systems throughout the product lifecycle. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career engineer who wants exposure to the full systems engineering process and enjoys working across multiple technical disciplines. The Systems Engineer I serves as a "jack-of-all-trades" within the engineering organization, helping connect teams, requirements, subsystems, and technical deliverables to ensure a cohesive system solution. In this role, you will support traditional systems engineering activities using the V-Model development process, including requirements decomposition, requirements traceability, technical risk identification, system integration, verification, and validation. You will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to help define, develop, test, and deliver mission-critical systems while gaining exposure to all phases of system development.

This position is an initial 6-month contract with the opportunity to extend and convert. The hourly rate is based on experience, ranging from $45-80/hr. This is an onsite position, working a 9x80 schedule.
