About the Job
Job Description
Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a hybrid work format, with time split between working onsite and remotely.
See what you're missing. Our employees work on the world's most advanced electronics - from detecting threats for F-35 pilots to illuminating the night for soldiers. Spanning air, land, sea, and space, we are developing the technology of tomorrow, delivered today. Drawing strength from our differences, we're innovating for the future. And you can, too.
In Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Systems, you'll help develop systems that sense, control, exploit and disseminate actionable information to warfighters supporting a variety of missions. C4ISR Systems is developing innovative capabilities across the C4ISR mission domain for Advanced Analytics, Adaptive Electronic Warfare / Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) /Cyber, Combat identification, Imagery Sensing and Exploitation, Space Security, and Undersea Warfare. We are a pathfinder in our defense and intelligence markets, focused on delivering disruptive technology to give our customers the edge they need.
Mission Systems Product Line is looking for an experienced, self-motivated mission engineer to support a collaborative approach to the design and implementation of battle management systems. The mission engineer focuses on working directly with customers, end users and development engineers to conceptualize, architect and present solutions that solve the toughest mission needs. We are seeking a candidate with real-world experience as a Battle Manager: managing and operating C2 Battle Management systems, conducting mission planning, and operate/understand radar and electronic countermeasure systems. The mission engineer plays a key role as the interface between the end users and the development team to ensure that the delivered product meets or exceeds the users' needs.
