Systems Engineer 2

This role is part of our Tactical Missiles and Integrated Defense Systems business, which designs and develops integrated missile and defense systems that support critical missions across air, land, and sea. We combine comprehensive analysis, engineering, and program execution capabilities to deliver mission-tailored solutions that reduce lead times, lower costs, and simplify complex multi-vendor supply chains.  Backed by decades of flight-proven and fielded performance, we design and build mission-critical technologies including launch systems, propulsion, payload integration solutions, UAV components, missile subsystems, and Safe & Arm systems.

In this role, you will provide technical guidance that supports the development of aerospace structures, mechanisms, and mechanical systems from concept through product maturation. You will help ensure system requirements are understood, validated, and met by coordinating technical execution across engineering disciplines, supporting system architecture decisions, and contributing to analysis, testing, documentation, and verification activities.

Responsibilities

• Supports program-level technical oversight to ensure final products meet all applicable requirements.
• Ensures engineering tasks balance design, analysis, and testing to achieve robust system performance.
• Contributes to system architecture development by modeling system behavior and assisting with requirement decomposition.
• Verifies and documents system compliance to requirements.
• Contributes to development of test plans to validate system performance.
