Senior Systems Engineer

What You'll Do:

As the Senior Systems Engineer, you will provide technical leadership for the design, integration, testing, and sustainment of advanced Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training systems supporting Navy and coalition warfighter readiness. The selected candidate will lead systems engineering efforts across a complex environment that integrates operational platforms, simulation technologies, secure networks, and mission systems to deliver realistic, high-fidelity combat training against emerging threats.

This position will be based at the NAS Oceana Dam Neck Annex in Virginia Beach, VA.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support modeling and simulation environments that replicate advanced threat systems.
• Integrate sensor, command-and-control, and weapons-system representations into training events.
• Enable distributed exercises connecting ships, aircraft, tactical operations centers, and simulators across multiple locations.
• Ensure realistic data feeds, threat representations, and training scenarios accurately reflect current operational environments.
• Lead the design, integration, and sustainment of complex LVC training systems and supporting infrastructure.
• Develop system architectures, interface requirements, and technical roadmaps to support evolving training capabilities.
• Analyze operational requirements and translate them into system-level technical solutions.
• Oversee integration of live platforms, virtual simulators, and constructive simulation environments.
• Manage system requirements throughout the lifecycle, ensuring traceability from mission needs to implementation.
• Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including system specifications, interface control documents, and design artifacts.
• Conduct technical reviews, design reviews, and engineering assessments.
• Support configuration management and change control processes.
• Ensure infrastructure can support large-scale, geographically dispersed exercises involving multiple participants and simulations.
• Coordinate with fleet representatives to ensure training capabilities align with operational needs.
• This position may require up to 25% annual travel.
