We’re looking for a mission-focused Systems Engineer ready to tackle complex technical challenges that directly impact national security. In this role, you’ll apply a multi-disciplinary approach to support critical efforts across the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG), Allied System for Geospatial-Intelligence (ASG), and partner federal agencies.

You’ll play a key part in shaping geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) capabilities—ensuring they stay agile, resilient, and aligned with fast-changing mission needs. From defining requirements to evaluating performance and supporting integration, your work will directly contribute to delivering timely, accurate intelligence.

What You’ll Do

• Apply systems engineering across the GEOINT enterprise, including requirements, solutions design, scheduling, testing, and integration.
• Translate mission and customer needs into actionable technical requirements and system capabilities.
• Perform requirements analysis and traceability across user needs, architectures, and processes.
• Evaluate and improve system reliability, maintainability, and resilience—especially in cloud and service-oriented environments.
• Support the design and assessment of new technical solutions and help mentor junior engineers in doing the same.
• Contribute to key engineering efforts such as:
• Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs)
• Trade studies and course-of-action evaluations
• Integration planning and strategic technical reviews
• Assist in systems integration, performance engineering, risk management, and interface design for evolving GEOINT systems.

What You’ll Bring

• Active TS/SCI clearance with CI Polygraph
• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, a related STEM field, or 9+ years of Systems Engineering experience in lieu of a degree
• 6+ years of experience in government or industry in one or more of the following areas:
• DoD/IC acquisition or requirements processes
• PPBES processes
• System engineering for large-scale systems or cloud-based architectures

Ideally, You’ll Also Have

• Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and methodologies
• Understanding of Software Development Frameworks
• INCOSE ASEP certification
• Experience supporting geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) missions
• Background or interest in:
• Photogrammetry, remote sensing, image science, GIS, or related technical fields
• Professional organizations such as ACSM, ASCE, ASPRS, OGC, SAREM, or USGIF
• Knowledge of the current NSG/ASG and NRO technical landscape
