ENGINEER IV – SYSTEMS ENGINEER Location: Colorado Springs, CO Clearance: Active Secret clearance required; ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI eligibility preferred
OVERVIEW Integrity Communications Solutions (Integrity) is seeking an experienced Systems Engineer IV (SE IV) to support a Department of Defense (DoD) satellite communications (SATCOM) ground and system-of-systems development program. The selected candidate will support multidisciplinary systems engineering activities across one or more technical areas, which may include system-of-systems engineering, Ground Segment engineering, requirements development and management, architecture and interface definition, integration and verification, test engineering, digital engineering, cybersecurity engineering, configuration and data management, risk management, or technical planning and documentation. SE IV engineers are expected to take ownership of defined engineering scope and drive work through completion, coordinating across technical disciplines and resolving issues and dependencies within their area of responsibility. Assignments may involve ownership of a feature, workflow, subsystem, engineering product, verification area, or other defined technical problem space. Engineers may support either System-of-Systems Integration (SoSI) or Ground Integration (GI) activities depending on individual experience, strengths, interests, and program needs. Work may span system-level, segment-level, element-level, or component-level engineering and typically requires coordination with systems engineers, software developers, test engineers, cybersecurity engineers, digital engineering personnel, operators, and other technical stakeholders. Candidates are not expected to have experience in every technical area listed. Integrity is seeking experienced engineers with demonstrated capability in one or more systems engineering disciplines who can independently own technical work, coordinate across teams, and contribute to delivery of mission-critical capabilities supporting the warfighter.
