Job ID: 708259BR Date posted: Oct. 21, 2025
Description:WHAT WE'RE DOING
• Advancing the Integrated Discrimination and Electronic Protection capabilities of the Missile Defense System (MDS)
• Leading systems engineering trades, analysis, and studies related to requirements generation
• Developing and delivering MDS capabilities and engineering artifacts into the Technical Baseline (TBL)

THE WORK
• Serve as the SE&I Deputy Chief Engineer specializing in Countermeasure Mitigation and Discrimination (CM&D),providing technical oversight and integration of SE&I Team electromagnetic warfare (EW) and discrimination related products, reporting to the SE&I Team Chief Engineer. SE&I Team's CM&D portfolio consists of system architecture concept development, evaluation, and maturation supporting System-level discrimination as well as modeling, simulation, and analysis eff orts to assess the impact of EW on System performance and developing mitigation concepts for evaluation.
•The CM&D Chief Engineer will participate in MDA design reviews, test reviews, and technical interchange meetings to ensure Agency-wide understanding of CM&D concepts and designs remain consistent and meet performance needs for the Missile Defense System. The CM&D Chief Engineer will additionally engage with SE&I Team Industry partners to bring forward technologies and concepts under IR&D to MDA's attention to ensure alignment between MDA capability pipeline development and Industry strategic investments.
• The CM&D Chief Engineer will support the planning and execution of CM&D-related SE&I Team tasks to ensure first time quality, timely delivery of products, and consistency across all SE&I Team portfolios, participating in CM&D-related project sprints, standups, and retrospective reviews. The CM&D Chief Engineer will ensure that System Design products are compatible with future inclusion of CM&D concepts in the MDS baseline, as well as maintaining knowledge of the capability gaps as defined in the MDA Capability Gap Tracker.
