Systems Engineering Lead

Description

The Digital Infrastructure Network Manager program within the Decision Advantage Business Area of Defense is looking for a cleared Systems Engineering Lead to support all aspects of the product lifecycle for agile development and deployment systems for the network.

Our team supports the Advanced Battle Management System's (ABMS) Digital Infrastructure Network Manager program. In this mission we support the Department of the Air Force (DAF) to field and operate the ABMS Digital Infrastructure, which is foundational in creating a unified command‑and‑control infrastructure connecting integrating sensors, data streams, and weapon systems across all domains (air, land, sea, cyber, and space). This will ultimately allow U.S. forces from all services – as well as allies and partners – to sense, make sense and act upon a vast array of data and information faster than adversaries can detect and respond to.

Ability to work in Northern Virginia, Dayton, OH, or Orlando, FL is highly preferred. Candidate working from remote locations will also be considered but must be willing and able to go onsite for meetings.
