Senior Systems Engineer – Mission Engineering, Modeling & Simulation

For our client, we are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer – Mission Engineering, Modeling & Simulation to join the team of a leader in the Technical Services space.

This role will lead mission engineering efforts that shape acquisition decisions through rigorous analysis, digital architecture development, and mission-level modeling. The position sits at the intersection of systems engineering and decision support, translating operational needs into traceable mission outcomes and system requirements. You will work across architecture, simulation, and stakeholder teams to assess capability gaps and support transition planning. The work is highly analytical and will influence how mission architectures are defined, evaluated, and realized.
