Systems Engineer - Open Mission Systems

An employer is seeking a Systems Engineer with a focus on Open Mission Systems (OMS) and Open Systems Architecture (OSA) to support the full lifecycle development of modular, interoperable mission systems, from conceptual design through product phase-out. In this role, you will work in a fast‑paced, deliverable‑driven environment with a strong emphasis on system integration, verification, and test (I&T) across standards-based architectures aligned to government OMS and MOSA initiatives.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams, vendors, and end customers to design, integrate, and validate open, plug-and-play mission capabilities leveraging frameworks such as OMS/UCI (Universal Command and Control Interface), FACE (Future Airborne Capability Environment), CMOSS, and GRA (Generic Reference Architecture), as well as modern digital engineering environments like VIDA and AMS.
The position includes hands-on involvement in integrating OMS-compliant subsystems, validating interface standards, executing interoperability testing, and troubleshooting system-level performance issues across hardware and software domains. You will support end-to-end system verification, integration events, and open architecture test campaigns, ensuring systems are scalable, interoperable, and aligned with evolving government architecture standards. Additional responsibilities include participation in design reviews, coordination with subcontractors, and support for on-site integration and test activities, with travel expected.

This role requires an active DoD security clearance and is ideal for a systems engineer with experience in Open Mission Systems, Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), and open architecture integration/test within complex environments, along with a strong understanding of systems engineering fundamentals, requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Jama), and the ability to deliver adaptable, future-ready mission system solutions.

This role offers $85-100/hr.
