Sr. Principal Systems Engineer (RF Communications)

We are seeking a cleared or clearable Sr. Principal Systems Engineer for a critical leadership role in our Systems Engineering Group as a key contributor to the successful completion of RF Communications projects. Professionals who want to solve the challenges that make a difference to our nation’s security. This position is perfect for a candidate that can manage requirements and lead design efforts to produce new hardware products at the Xetron facility that support National Defense partners. The products produced at this facility support all domains of intelligence and defense battle-spaces including land, sea, air and space. Many of the problem-sets our customers expect us to solve do not have known solutions, so ingenuity is essential. Ideal candidates for this position have substantial breadth and depth of knowledge in all aspects of engineering with a focus in producing deployable hardware products. Less experienced candidates that demonstrate high technological aptitude with a willingness and desire to learn are equally qualified for this position. All of our best system engineers started from a position where they did not have extensive knowledge but through their own initiatives and internal training have become the best of the best. Each of the two class of candidates must have the ability to independently form innovative solutions to difficult problems and lead teams of highly skilled engineers to execute these solutions. Typical teams are 5-10 people and require our engineers to have diverse skill-sets that apply to the entire lifecycle of a program. This position allows the candidate to have direct contact with our end customers and end operators of our products, which allows for pragmatic and early feedback from the user community during the design process. Preferred technical background includes experience with design improvements, especially in relationship to reliability, maintainability, and supportability.
