ENGINEER III – SYSTEMS ENGINEER Location: Colorado Springs, CO Clearance: Active Secret clearance required; ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI eligibility
OVERVIEW Integrity Communications Solutions (Integrity) is seeking a Systems Engineer III (SE III) 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. 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 may involve collaboration 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 engineers with relevant experience in one or more systems engineering disciplines who are interested in expanding their technical breadth while contributing to delivery of mission-critical capabilities supporting the warfighter.
