Sr Systems Engineer

SNC is on the lookout for a Systems Engineer with expertise in sensor systems to support the design, integration, and validation of advanced mission systems on airborne platforms. In this dynamic role, you will engage in the full lifecycle of these systems, from initial concept development and lab verification to testing and deployment of qualified flight hardware. You will collaborate with diverse, cross-disciplinary teams, oversee supplier subcontracts, manage system requirements, and deliver innovative solutions that meet stringent performance, safety, and certification standards.

What to look forward to:
The ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area is a leader in ISR and aviation, it is a leading prime manned and unmanned aircraft systems integrator for innovative, high-performance ISR and aviation systems. Its end-to-end Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities encompass design, integration, test, certification, ground/flight training and complete logistics support. IAS tailors solutions to customer cost, performance, and schedule requirements and designs to consistently exceed expectations – with an unrivaled record of on time and on (or under) budget deliveries.
