Mission:


We are looking for a Senior Mission Kit Integration Engineer with 7+ years of experience in military vehicle systems integration, vetronics, communications, or related defense engineering disciplines.
The role is responsible for the technical integration of mission systems onto military vehicles, with a primary focus on radio and communication systems, GPS/GNSS, vetronics, and associated mission electronics.
The engineer will work across vehicle, electrical, electronic, communication, and mission-system domains to ensure that the complete mission kit is correctly integrated, interoperable, testable, and ready for qualification and field deployment.
The position requires strong systems-engineering skills, hands-on integration experience, and the ability to coordinate technical activities across multiple suppliers, engineering teams, and military end users.

• Review and approve technical documentation, including interface control documents, system specifications, test procedures, integration reports and configuration documentation.
• Ensure configuration management and traceability of mission equipment and vehicle interfaces throughout the project lifecycle.
• Participate in technical reviews with customers, military users, suppliers and internal engineering teams.
• Provide technical leadership to less-experienced engineers and integration technicians.

Profile:

• 7+ years of professional experience in systems integration, vehicle electronics, vetronics, military communications, or a closely related field.
• Engineering degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or equivalent technical experience.
• Demonstrated experience integrating complex electronic and communication systems into vehicles, preferably military or special-purpose vehicles.
• Strong understanding of at least 3 of the following topics:

  • Tactical/military radio systems
  • Voice and data communication architectures
  • Intercom systems
