Standard Job Description

You will be the System Engineer for the Missiles & Fire Control (MFC) Systems team. Our team transforms customer and product requirements into complete, reliable missile‑system solutions, delivering on schedule, within budget and with the highest level of performance and supportability.

• Generating and executing subsystem‑ and system‑level integration and test procedures, ensuring they meet cost, schedule and risk constraints.
• Preparing test equipment and facilities, coordinating with test labs to support Design Verification Tests (DVT), Environmental Stress Screening (ESS), Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Functional Acceptance Test (ATP) events.
• Supporting failure investigations, diagnosing hardware, software or test‑equipment anomalies and driving corrective actions to closure.
• Providing engineering evaluations for redesigns or upgrades to existing missile hardware, assessing impact on performance, cost and schedule.
• Maintaining configuration control and documentation of test results, verification reports and lessons‑learned artifacts.
• Collaborating with cross‑functional teams—systems, software, hardware, test, manufacturing and quality—to ensure seamless integration and compliance with program milestones.
• Traveling domestically to support program test events, customer briefings and technical meetings.
