Job Overview:

INflow Federal is seeking a experienced, self-motivated Senior Systems Engineer who understands how SIGINT tasking and collection actually works at the IC/COCOM level, sits onsite with those users, and turns what they need into requirements, SysML models, and user stories that a development team builds into a space-ground cloud application. 

The individual should be technically literate in order to collaborate effectively with developers on cloud, DevSecOps, and Linux - because on this program, the mission requirements and the platform constraints are the same conversation - but you would be specifying and reviewing the system, not standing it up.

Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and/or the requirement to perform all work onsite due to the nature of this particular role, it will be performed full-time on site.
