About the role

  • Silvus is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior R&D Systems Engineer to join our Research & Development team.
  • The successful individual in this role will bridge the gap between complex RF hardware, advanced signal processing software, and distributed networking architectures.
  • You will work within a multi-disciplinary R&D team to architect systems that not only detect and counter threats but coordinate these effects across a mesh of intelligent nodes.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the architectural definition of networked EW systems, decomposing high-level mission requirements into detailed hardware, software, and firmware specifications.
  • Author and maintain critical engineering artifacts, including System Design Descriptions (SDD), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), ConOps, and Test Plans.
  • This position requires a rigorous systems engineering approach to capture designs, manage requirements, and ensure mission success in contested RF environments.
  • System Architecture & Design: Lead the architectural definition of networked EW systems, decomposing high-level mission requirements into detailed hardware, software, and firmware specifications.
  • Technical Documentation: Author and maintain critical engineering artifacts, including System Design Descriptions (SDD), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), ConOps, and Test Plans.
  • Performance Analysis: Develop simulation models (MATLAB/Python) to predict system performance under realistic channel conditions and validate these models against field test data.
  • We are proud of our people-first and community-focused culture, empowering every Motorolan to be their most authentic self and to do their best work to deliver on the promise of a safer world.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
  • Minimum of 5+ years of experience in systems engineering for complex hardware/software systems, with a strong understanding of the V-model, requirements decomposition, and lifecycle management.
  • Proven experience in one or more following domains: Electronic Warfare (EA/ES/EP), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Tactical Radios / Wireless Communications (MANET, MIMO, Mesh), or Radar Systems.
  • Hands-on experience with modern systems engineering and requirements tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw), IBM DOORS / DOORS Next Gen, Jama Connect, or Sparx Enterprise Architect.
  • Security Clearance: Active U.S. Government SECRET clearance or the ability to obtain one within 12 months of hire.
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen due to clients under U.S. government contracts.
  • MBSE Mastery: proficiency in SysML (System Modeling Language) and experience creating executable system models.
  • knowledge of RF propagation, link budgets, and modulation techniques.
  • Familiarity with networking protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, multicast) and tactical data links (e.g., Link 16, ATAK integrations).
  • NOTE - As a US Federal Contractor, Silvus Technologies requires that ALL candidates being considered for employment for any position (regardless of level) MUST be a U.S. Person (permanent resident or citizen).

Skills

  • Master of Science degree Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
