System Engineer

Join a mission-focused team delivering cutting-edge engineering and operational support for intelligence collection capabilities. This role supports advanced Radio Frequency (RF), cyber, and SIGINT mission systems that enable rapid-response operations in both CONUS and OCONUS environments, including austere and hazardous duty locations.

The ideal candidate will contribute across the full systems lifecycle — from modernization, integration, testing, deployment, and sustainment to quick-reaction capability development supporting evolving national security objectives. Working alongside elite technical and operational teams, you will help enhance next-generation collection and bridging solutions that directly support the cryptologic enterprise.
