Why This Role Matters
The Senior Systems Engineer owns how TacSRT works end to end — the requirements, interfaces, and data models that connect tasking to collection to delivered product. You lead systems engineering for the TacSRT capability, work directly with CCMD, Space Component, and commercial provider stakeholders, and make the tradeoffs between sensor choice, timeline, and fidelity defensible. The system has to behave predictably in degraded conditions, not only when every sensor is available.
Lead systems engineering for the TacSRT collection-to-product capability end to end.
Own requirements, interfaces, and data modeling for that capability with clear traceability to mission need.
Perform and document trade studies — sensor selection, collection approach, commercial versus organic — with defensible rationale.
Define expected behavior in normal, degraded, and edge-case conditions, including denied collection and sensor unavailability.
Take capabilities from concept through requirements, architecture input, implementation support, and verification.
Manage cross-team dependencies and surface schema, interface, or tasking changes before they reach other teams.
Serve as the default point of contact for TacSRT system questions, and mentor Associate and mid-level engineers on requirements quality.
Compensation
$110,000 — $140,000 USD
