As a Senior Systems Integration Engineer, you'll be at the center of complex technical integration connecting applications, services, infrastructure, data, interfaces, and mission capabilities into a cohesive operational solution. You'll work across engineering disciplines to identify integration challenges early, lead technical troubleshooting, and ensure capabilities work together as intended.

The Senior Systems Integration Engineer will provide technical leadership for the integration of software, hardware, infrastructure, data, and mission capabilities supporting the application. The engineer will work closely with software engineering, systems engineering, DevSecOps, test engineering, security, architecture, program management, and customer stakeholders to plan, execute, troubleshoot, and validate complex system integrations.
