Systems Engineer jobs in Fort Meade, MD
Systems Engineer
System design, component integration, interface requirements, optimization, modeling, and acceptance testing.
Apply for this RoleGS Consulting Environment
Engineering for the Full Life Cycle
At GS Consulting, we build technology that must survive real operational pressure. In the Intelligence Community, piecemeal development creates system failure. We rely on Systems Engineers to maintain the complete vision of complex capabilities and make sure every hardware and software component integrates to solve the operational problem.
As a Systems Engineer with GS Consulting, you will own the engineering life cycle from initial concept and high level design to fabrication, testing, installation, operation, and disposal. You will optimize complex engineering systems, define strict interface requirements, and make sure what we build performs when it matters most.
Mission and Responsibilities
Core Responsibilities
Our Systems Engineers perform rigorous systems engineering functions for DoD and Intelligence Community programs. Depending on your LCAT level, you will be expected to:
- Perform comprehensive high level system design for complex intelligence platforms.
- Specify precise system and component performance metrics and define strict interface requirements.
- Develop and execute detailed installation, integration, and acceptance test plans.
- Design engineering systems, improve operational optimization, and use advanced modeling techniques.
- Oversee the entire capability life cycle from concept, design, fabrication, and test through installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal.
Technical Domains
Required Technical Domains
Successful Systems Engineers at GS Consulting must bring authoritative practical experience across the following domains:
- Traditional systems engineering and life cycle management
- High level system design and component performance specification
- Development of integration and acceptance test plans
- System optimization and modeling
Preferred Degree Fields
Because traditional systems engineering requires a broad foundation in the hard sciences, degrees must be from an accredited institution in Professional Engineering, Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Architecture, Computer Science, Mathematics, Hydrology, or Geology.
