Albuquerque, United States Space Dynamics Laboratory Full time
Job ID 20961

Do you like Systems Engineering? Do you think hypersonic reentry vehicles are cool? Do you like space and satellites?

If so, the Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) is seeking an experienced and organized Senior Systems Engineer to come in on the ground floor and stand up the nation's future nuclear weapon systems. The Senior Systems Engineer is responsible for the architecture, technical trades, risk tracking, requirements tracking and development, and the technical progress and execution of the program. They must have the ability to understand the customer's vision and work with the team to translate that vision into a technical solution, work with program management to ensure technical requirements and performance are achieved, support interactions with customers, and provide technical support to related proposal efforts. This is not a cookie cutter assignment, this is an in-the-weeds Systems Engineering effort that will range from interacting with PhD scientists to upper level managers and act as a SME resource to Junior Systems Engineers both within the government and at SDL.

Required Qualifications:
  • At least a B.S. degree in a related technical field (e.g., Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering)
  • 7+ years of relevant Systems Engineering or advanced degree(s) in a related field
  • Familiarity with DoD requirements processes and subsystems design
  • Experience working with both scientists and engineers
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Ability to present clearly and succinctly to customers
  • Must be a U.S. citizen with a current active security clearance
  • Must be able to travel 25%
  • Concrete examples of technical mentorship experience

It would be even better if you have:
  • Knowledge about the U.S. strategic weapons enterprise
  • Knowledge about hypersonic reentry vehicles
  • Experience with CAMEO System Modeler
  • Experience with space hardware development and testing
  • Experience working with Special Program Offices
  • Understanding of risks and risk mitigations for DoD systems
  • Experience with Quality Assurance on DoD programs
  • Experience with implementing DoD Safety Requirements


At SDL, we support a variety of missions, including the Department of Defense's aim to protect our nation on the ground, in the air, and in space. Our sensors, satellites, software systems, and science and engineering play an essential role in some important missions you've heard of, and others that you haven't. Join our team in our seventh decade of delivering mission success.
