Job Description

Systems Engineer

The Opportunity:

Successful systems projects demand more than technical know-how, they require vision. As a Systems Engineer, you bring both strategic foresight and engineering precision, guiding technical teams through every phase of the system's lifecycle, from concept to delivery.

You'll begin by working closely with stakeholders to uncover mission needs, translating those insights into structured technical requirements. You'll lead the design process alongside architects to build solutions that meet operational demands, while driving implementation forward with steady oversight-ensuring each milestone is achieved with purpose and accuracy.

Your expertise will also shape a comprehensive Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) strategy aligned with broader mission objectives. You'll define KPIs and performance goals, assess EMS technologies like radar, satellite communications, and wireless systems, and identify emerging threats, including jamming, spoofing, and eavesdropping.

Additionally, you'll support the full spectrum of flight test activities-from planning to execution-and guide personnel training in Electronic Warfare (EW) tactics, techniques, and procedures. Your assessments of current aircraft defensive systems will ensure readiness and resilience across the force.

Driven by curiosity, strategy, and hands-on engineering experience, you'll help the Department of Defense enhance its capabilities to safeguard national security and protect the warfighter. If you're ready to tackle real-world challenges and lead mission-critical efforts, there's a place for you here. At Booz Allen, your work will make an impact-and we'll make an investment in your future.
