Systems EngineerMount Indie is seeking a Systems Engineer who thrives in innovative, integration-driven environments and is passionate about reducing uncertainty early in the development lifecycle. This role supports the definition, design, and de-risking of complicated tactical communication systems composed of hardware, software, networking, and RF components.Key ResponsibilitiesDefineContribute to refinement of mission intent and system scopeSurface assumptions and risks early in developmentSupport decomposition of customer requirements into system-level behaviorsDesignSupport system architecture and interface definitionCreate and maintain system diagrams and interface documentationParticipate in trade studies and cross-discipline collaborationDe-riskSupport modeling, simulation, and integration experimentsAssist in planning and executing integration and test eventsCapture expected vs. observed behavior during testingSupport hypothesis testing through integration activities and capture expected vs.
observed system behaviorSurface deviations that invalidate architectural assumptions and feed them back into system refinementDeliverSupport formal integration and system verification eventsEnsure system behavior aligns with defined mission intentAssist in documenting expected vs. observed outcomesParticipate in root cause analysis and corrective action planningHelp maintain traceability from mission threads through validation artifactsRequirementsBachelor's Degree in Engineering or related technical field or equivalent experience4–6 years of experience in complicated system developmentExperience integrating hardware, software, and networking systemsDemonstrated ability to work in iterative, fast-paced development environments where requirements and architecture evolve as uncertainty is reducedExperience integrating across hardware, software, networking, and RF domains in environments with shifting technical constraintsExperience working within a hypothesis-driven development environment where architectural assumptions are progressively tested through integration and test eventsAbility to link detailed execution work to higher-level mission intent and architectural hypothesesActive U.S. Secret ClearancePreferred QualificationsExperience with SysML, Cameo, or MBSE practicesExperience supporting modeling and simulation activitiesExperience with requirements management tools (e.g., Jama, DOORS) and maintaining bidirectional traceability between requirements and validation artifactsFamiliarity with issue tracking and work management tools (e.g., Jira)Experience working within digital engineering or model-informed development environmentsFamiliarity with agile development environments
