Systems Engineer- Sensor Integration

Program Overview

Engineering modernization and integration practices to include Digital Engineering and Agile at Scale for all of NGA, NSG, and ASG.

About The Role

We are seeking a Mid-Level Systems Engineer to support mission-critical initiatives across the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG), Allied System for Geospatial-Intelligence (ASG), and various Federal agencies. In this role, you’ll apply a multi-disciplinary approach to engineering and integration efforts that ensure the delivery of accurate, timely, and resilient GEOINT capabilities.

You’ll work closely with government stakeholders and technical teams to translate mission needs into innovative, scalable solutions—while supporting the full systems engineering lifecycle from concept through deployment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct systems engineering across disciplines: requirements development, solution design, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, service development, integration, testing, evaluation, and maintainability.

• Perform planning and analysis of user requirements , architecture traceability, and system workflows to optimize performance.

• Review cloud capabilities, workflows, and scheduling limitations to identify opportunities for system improvement or automation.

• Develop solutions designs based on requirements analysis and emerging technologies.

• Translate mission and customer needs into system and capability requirements.

• Support requirements allocation to architecture components and across execution programs.

• Perform system integration across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments.

• Assist in conducting Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs) , Course of Action (CoA) development, trade studies , and engineering assessments .

• Contribute to strategic technical planning , performance engineering, project management, risk mitigation, and interface design efforts.

Why Join Us:

This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll be part of a high-impact team supporting national security and intelligence missions. If you’re looking to grow your systems engineering career while contributing to meaningful projects at the intersection of technology and national defense, we’d love to connect.
