Position Description Job description ENSCO Inc. is a diverse engineering and technology company that provides engineering, science, and advanced technology solutions supporting mission success, safety, and security for government and commercial customers worldwide. We are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to work directly with Government mission leaders and program teams delivering critical space and defense capabilities. This role is intentionally broad. The engineer may move between mission analysis, architecture, interfaces, technical planning, integration, testing, troubleshooting, risk reduction, and transition activities as program needs evolve. The engineer will help translate operational priorities into executable technical work, connect independently governed efforts, expose weak assumptions, and create the evidence leaders need for timely decisions. Success requires sound technical judgment, intellectual curiosity, disciplined follow-through, and the ability to build trusted relationships across teams with different responsibilities, schedules, and views of the mission architecture. Government decision owners retain all formal authority. Primary Responsibilities • Translate mission needs into technical action. Clarify the operational outcome, mission thread, user workflow, constraints, dependencies, and evidence required for the next technical or acquisition decision. • Develop and assess architectures. Create, evaluate, and communicate architecture options, functional boundaries, interfaces, data flows, external dependencies, operational concepts, and technical baselines for complex multi-system capabilities. • Solve cross-disciplinary problems. Analyze issues spanning hardware, software, networks, data, cybersecurity, operations, test, infrastructure, and sustainment; identify likely causes, consequences, corrective options, and the evidence needed to proceed. • Integrate independently governed efforts. Work across program offices, technical teams, operators, laboratories, test organizations, security stakeholders, and industry partners to align interfaces, assumptions, commitments, and delivery timing. • Build trusted technical relationships. Understand each team's objectives and constraints, communicate facts without blame, follow through on commitments, and use technical credibility to influence decisions without relying on formal authority. • Frame decision-ready trade space. Compare options across mission effect, performance, cost, schedule, interoperability, cybersecurity, integration complexity, sustainment, time-to-field, and production scalability. • Design rapid learning activities. Define focused analyses, demonstrations, interface events, prototypes, simulations, and knowledge points that test critical assumptions and expose risk before expensive commitment. • Connect analysis to integration. Translate studies and design decisions into interface agreements, integration criteria, configuration boundaries, data exchanges, test objectives, action owners, and executable milestones. • Support testing and operational acceptance. Plan or participate in reviews, laboratory events, mission-thread tests, demonstrations, user evaluations, anomaly resolution, and acceptance activities
