MTSI is seeking a Mission Engineering and Cloud Integration Engineer SME / Cross-Disciplinary leader with deep expertise in Mission Engineering and proven capabilities in Cloud Architecture and Cybersecurity. This position requires a strategic systems thinker capable of holding the tension across these interconnected disciplines (Mission Engineering, Cyber, and Cloud) while weaving the strengths and trade-offs of each to achieve high-impact solutions.

The ideal candidate will inspire collaboration among subject matter experts and champion innovation in multi-domain operations. The successful candidate will align advanced technologies with operational needs and program objectives across domains such as autonomy, AI/ML, IoT, space operations, and cybersecurity.

This role combines technical leadership, analytical insight, and cross-disciplinary integration to deliver mission success for critical DoD initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Lead efforts to design, implement, and secure cloud-enabled architectures to meet mission-critical requirements in multi-domain environments.
• Develop and refine Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and Concept of Employment (CONEMP) frameworks, integrating operational needs and warfighter priorities.
• Apply advanced Systems Engineering methodologies and Operations Research techniques to analyze, optimize, and integrate solutions.
• Oversee the integration of emerging technologies, including AI/ML, IoT, autonomy, and cyber systems, while driving digital transformation and operational optimization.
• Facilitate collaboration across Mission Engineering, Cloud Architecture, and Cybersecurity disciplines, ensuring scalable and resilient solutions.
• Provide technical leadership to cross-functional teams, fostering innovation and mission-focused problem solving.
• Deliver system documentation, technical briefs, and analyses to stakeholders, ensuring alignment with program goals and customer needs.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Mission Engineering Expertise: Proven track record in leading Mission Engineering initiatives for multi-domain operations.
• Cloud Architecture Knowledge: Strong proficiency in secure cloud systems (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and scalable architecture design for DoD programs.
• Cybersecurity Acumen: Deep understanding of secure practices, frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, Zero Trust), and system resiliency principles.
• Ability to navigate across Mission Engineering, Cloud, and Cyber disciplines, balancing the tension between them to achieve optimal outcomes.
• Experience in designing CONOPS/CONEMP frameworks and integrating operational needs into technical solutions.
• Advanced Systems Engineering methodologies and Operations Research experience, including modeling and data-driven decision-making.
• Proven leadership and communication skills for collaborating with government stakeholders and technical teams.
  
  

Desired Skills

• Proven ability to manage cross-functional teams, develop technical roadmaps, and execute large-scale mission engineering efforts successfully.
• Experience in digital engineering initiatives, leveraging secure systems and connected architectures to optimize mission frameworks.
• Ability to lead simultaneous mission analyses while supporting both primary and ancillary program priorities.
• Knowledge of Space Force digital test environments or related operational scenarios.
• Familiarity with modern compliance frameworks, such as FedRAMP, ISO9001, or Zero Trust architectures.
  
  

Minimum Educational Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations Research, Physics, Systems Analysis, or related disciplines required.
• Master’s degree preferred.
  
  

Clearance Requirements

Active TOP SECRET clearance with SCI eligibility required.

Location:

Flexible, with priority posting in Ohio (OH), Virginia (VA), and Alabama (AL).
