Why choose between doing meaningful work and having a fulfilling life? At MITRE, you can have both. That's because MITRE people are committed to tackling our nation's toughest challenges—and we're committed to the long-term well-being of our employees. MITRE is different from most technology companies. We are a not-for-profit corporation chartered to work for the public interest, with no commercial conflicts to influence what we do. The R&D centers we operate for the government create lasting impact in fields as diverse as cybersecurity, healthcare, aviation, defense, and enterprise transformation. We're making a difference every day—working for a safer, healthier, and more secure nation and world. Our workplace reflects our values. We offer competitive benefits, exceptional professional development opportunities, and a culture of innovation that embraces diversity, inclusion, flexibility, collaboration, and career growth. If this sounds like the choice you want to make, then choose MITRE—and make a difference with us.Department Summary:MITRE National Security (MNS) brings together the full strength of MITRE’s national security work into one integrated organization in support of the Department of Defense (DoD), Intelligence Community (IC), and their partners. MNS helps our sponsors advance a broader vision of national security and address the most pressing challenges facing our country. MNS operates the National Security Engineering Center (NSEC) FFRDC. The MNS Integration & Operations Center leads efficient and effective execution of operations functions within MNS. MNS International works with the US security cooperation enterprise, partners, and allies. We provide systems of systems engineering to improve Joint Integration, coalition interoperability, and lethality for the US with allies and partners, to fight and win in CJADC2 contested environments.NSEC delivers mission-critical capabilities, promotes enterprise-level solutions, and enhances system interoperability within the DoD and IC and with coalition partners. The Intelligence Center under the NSEC FFRDC mission is to solve the IC sponsor problems through broad operational understanding, deep technical expertise, and an objective view of the technology landscape.The MITRE Corporation’s All-Domain Integration (ADI) Department (N163) supports development and delivery of integrated, agile mission capabilities that will enable the US and Coalition forces to operate at the speed of relevance. ADI’s focus is to (1) develop joint, all-domain operational concepts; (2) mature these concepts through realizable architectures; and (3) transition the developed capabilities to the warfighter. This involves the near-term modernization of fielded capabilities and development of next generation warfighter operations in all phases of systems evolution: from concept exploration, through experimentation and fielding. N163 is seeking a highly motivated multi-discipline System Engineer who wants to deliver innovative solutions to unique national challenges.This position is based out of the MITRE McLean, VA office but the majority of the work will be onsite at the sponsor facility located in Fairfax, VA.The technical work areas you will apply your skills to include:Support programs of record integration within the Mission Partner Environment (MPE)Conduct engineering analysis of ISR systems, Geospatial technologies, Full Motion Video capabilities, and data fusion systems and recommend improvements based on sound engineering principlesReview and recommend program enhancements to the existing cross domain architectureEvaluate automation, cyber, and targeting technologies and propose designs to integrate into existing systemsResearch and recommend technologies for processing and exploiting large data setsRecommend processes and technologies to improve data fusion across integrated programsDevelop and enhance program products applying engineering principlesContribute to the design and review of engineering products, associated components, and infrastructuresDetermine feasibility of proposed designs considering costs, time limitations, planning, and other technical and economic factorsUse analytic tools to review capabilities, identify shortcomings, and propose enhancementsCollaborate across multiple stakeholders to develop optimal solutions which incorporate multiple variables and perspectivesRemain current on the latest system / software engineering trends and technologies and apply them to enhance system performance and functionalityLead engagement with sponsor and collaborate across MITRE to bring appropriate expertise to taskBasic Qualifications:A Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 10 years of related experience; or 8 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with 5 years of relevant experience; or equivalent combination of related education and work experience.
