We are looking for a Systems Engineering, Integration & Test (SEIT) Lead to own the technical execution of software demonstrations for classified government customers. You will turn customer mission needs into demo-ready capability. That means defining requirements and architecture, running integration and test, and delivering demonstrations on tight timelines in secure environments.

- Partner with the Chief Engineer and Chief Architect to own the system architecture and interface definitions (ICDs), and coordinate across software, data, and third-party/GFE components
- Build and run integration and test plans, test procedures, and verification matrices (RVTM)
- Plan and run demo events: environment setup, dry runs, rehearsals, go/no-go reviews, and on-site support
- Partner with the infrastructure and engineering teams to maintain integration and test environments on classified networks and in SCIFs, working with security and IT on accreditation needs
- Lead technical reviews (system requirements reviews, test readiness reviews) and present to customer stakeholders at the right level of technical depth
- Manage technical risk, configuration baselines, and change control across fast-moving development cycles for critical demonstrations
Must Haves:
- An active TS/SCI clearance
- 10+ years of systems engineering experience, with 5+ years in integration and test of software-intensive systems
- 3+ years in a technical lead role on DoD or IC programs
- Hands-on experience delivering software demos, prototypes, or rapid capability efforts to government customers
- Strong command of requirements management, verification and validation, and interface control
- Experience working in classified environments (SCIFs, air-gapped networks, cross-domain constraints)
- Comfortable presenting to senior government and military stakeholders
- Knowledge of risk management framework (RMF) / authority to operate (ATO) processes
