Systems Engineer (Experienced, Lead, or Senior) - Huntsville Recruiting Event - March 2026

Company:

The Boeing Company is seeking Systems Engineers to join our team in Huntsville, Alabama.

Come be part of something exciting! Our Huntsville based teams are responsible for providing MDA with system-level concepts, architectures, requirements, and assessments to enable development and deployment of incremental upgrades to America's Missile Defense System, and development efforts for the Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) RF seeker.

Our teams are currently hiring for a range of experience Systems Engineering disciplines including Experienced, Lead and Senior Level:

• Modeling & Simulation
• System Architecting, Requirements & Interfaces

Position Responsibilities:

• Lead cross-functional teams to develop system level architecture and requirements to influence Missile Defense Agency (MDA) incremental capability
• Use Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to evaluate architectural impacts through functional and behavior analysis for the defeat of conventional and advanced Threats (i.e., ballistic, aero-maneuvering, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.) systems within the (MDA) mission areas
• Collaborate in an MBSE environment to develop system-of-systems requirements via system/component trade studies and analysis, and lead the development of Change Notices (CNs) to MDA's system specification to include functional, interface and performance requirements, architectural models, interface definitions, and support Trace verification from System to Element level requirements
• Develop and deliver products (i.e., technical briefings, CNs) to support internal and MDA stakeholder reviews
• Utilization of MBSE tools such as CAMEO or DOORS, System Architect and mathematical modeling and simulation to provide thought leadership and lead trade studies in assigned areas
• Requirements and architecture development in support of MDS systems
• Work in close coordination with the customer
• Provide subject matter expertise in support of algorithm development for radar signal processing techniques such as Kalman filtering, probabilistic and statistical modeling, and measurement processing from pulsed-Doppler waveforms.
• Design of algorithms that process signal returns into discriminated targets and track targets through mission timeline.
• Define system performance requirements and ensure interface definition supports various functional components of the seeker's and missile's architecture.
• Conduct analysis to optimize total system-of-systems performance and/or system architecture as applied to algorithmic functionality pertaining to the acquisition and tracking of targets.
• Conduct analysis on seeker simulation data to identify areas of improvement and guide recommendations for system robustness in the presence of challenging operational environments
• Review and modify the application of general digital signal processing techniques to the processing of reradiated signal content to ensure accurate signal characteristic identification.
• Support the tactical implementation of algorithm designs into Ada or C++ software.
