Description

MATLOK Innovation is seeking a Systems Engineer to provide Systems

Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support to a Department of

War (DoW) customer. This role offers the opportunity to solve

challenging technical problems and help develop realistic, technically

sound environments for cybersecurity testing, training, and

experimentation.

Working directly with government personnel and technical teams, you

will translate customer objectives into requirements, system

architectures, and practical technical solutions. You will help define

and evaluate test environments, assess interfaces and dependencies,

identify integration challenges, and ensure proposed solutions support

the intended mission. The work requires understanding how hardware,

software, networks, and operational processes interact—and how those

interactions affect the validity and usefulness of test results.

Responsibilities include reviewing technical requirements and designs,

supporting integration and troubleshooting, evaluating technical

tradeoffs, and developing clear documentation and recommendations. You

will help teams resolve gaps and inconsistencies across complex

systems and communicate technical findings in terms that support

informed customer decisions.

We are looking for someone with strong technical fundamentals, sound

engineering judgment, and the initiative to work through unfamiliar

problems. Experience with cybersecurity, complex networks,

virtualization, embedded systems, automation, or test and evaluation

is valuable. Equally important are curiosity, the ability to learn new

technologies quickly, and a demonstrated record of turning complex

technical challenges into workable solutions.

About MATLOK: MATLOK Innovation delivers high-trust technical

expertise in direct support of national defense missions. We serve as

a trusted Force Multiplier for defense missions by delivering tailored

teams and digital solutions that amplify operational impact,

accelerate readiness, and maximize the effectiveness of every mission

resource. We are committed to delivering the right solution for the

customer, and we are building the team that will turn that commitment

into sustained mission success.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or a related

technical field, or equivalent relevant technical experience.

Demonstrated experience applying systems engineering principles to

complex technical systems, including requirements analysis,

architecture development, interface definition, integration, and

verification.

Ability to translate customer objectives into clear technical

requirements and evaluate whether proposed solutions meet those

requirements.

Practical experience integrating or troubleshooting systems

involving hardware, software, and networks.

Ability to evaluate technical tradeoffs, identify risks and

dependencies, and develop actionable recommendations.

Strong technical writing and communication skills, including the

ability to explain complex issues to technical and nontechnical

audiences.

Ability to work independently, collaborate across technical

disciplines, and quickly learn unfamiliar technologies.

Desired Skills

Experience supporting cybersecurity testing, training, or

experimentation.

Knowledge of enterprise networks, virtualization, cloud

environments, or distributed computing systems.

Experience integrating mission systems, embedded platforms,

industrial control systems, or other complex hardware and software

environments.

Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE), SysML, or

tools for managing requirements, architectures, and interface

documentation.

Experience using scripting or automation to support integration,

testing, troubleshooting, or data analysis.

Experience developing test plans, defining verification criteria,

and evaluating results against technical requirements.

Experience providing technical advice to government customers or

working in a SETA role.

Ability to connect system behavior and technical findings to mission

objectives and operational impact.

Candidates are not expected to have experience in every area listed

above. Demonstrated technical depth in relevant areas and the ability

to learn across disciplines are highly valued.

Compensation and Benefits

Pay range: $110,000 - $195,000 per year, depending on experience.

Compensation for this role is competitive and structured to reflect

technical seniority, mission impact, and individual performance. In

addition to base salary, bonus opportunities are aligned with customer

performance, company growth, and measurable contribution.

MATLOK Innovation provides comprehensive health, dental, and vision

coverage, a competitive retirement plan, and generous paid time off.

We support continued professional development through advanced

training, industry certifications, and relevant technical conferences.
