- Conduct rigorous systems analysis and technical configuration for emerging mission-critical infrastructure.
- Evaluate and recommend emerging technologies for mission applicability, ensuring long-term scalability and sustainability.
- Produce high-level technical artifacts, including architecture diagrams, implementation plans, and Disaster Recovery strategies.
- Provide mentorship and technical leadership to engineering teams, ensuring quality assurance and adherence to best practices.
- Collaborate directly with government stakeholders to translate mission objectives into robust, modern technical roadmaps.
Required Experience/Clearance
- Active TS/SCI security clearance.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM field.
- 8+ years of experience in systems engineering, including the design and integration of enterprise-scale systems.

- Advanced proficiency in creating technical documentation, including SOPs and system administration guides.
Desired Experience
- Experience engineering solutions across a variety of platforms including macOS, iOS, Android, and Windows.
- Familiarity with high-level and low-level programming languages such as Python, C, Go, or Java.
- Strong understanding of networking architectures, communication protocols, and internet technologies.
- Experience with containerization (Docker, Podman) and virtualization technologies.
- Familiarity with cloud-native technologies and distributed system architectures.
- Previous experience working in highly classified, fast-paced operational environments.
