Job Details:

Lead Systems Engineer – Radar & Remote Sensing Technology

Longmont, Colorado | Relocation Assistance Available

Are you the type of engineer who enjoys solving problems that most companies won't even attempt?

We are seeking a highly motivated Lead Systems Engineer to help drive the development of advanced radar and remote sensing technologies from concept through deployment. This is a rare opportunity to join a growing R&D-focused organization where your technical expertise, leadership, and innovation will directly influence next-generation sensing systems and future company growth.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys wearing multiple hats—system architect, technical leader, mentor, innovator, and business contributor. You'll work closely with hardware, firmware, software, and leadership teams to develop sophisticated sensing solutions while helping shape the future direction of the organization.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Direct impact on cutting-edge radar and remote sensing technologies
High visibility role with significant influence on technical direction
Opportunity to lead programs from concept through verification and deployment
Work alongside a collaborative and highly technical engineering team
Ability to contribute to business growth through new technology development and proposal efforts
Leadership opportunities as the engineering team continues to expand
Beautiful Longmont, Colorado location with relocation assistance available

What You'll Be Doing

Systems Engineering & Architecture

Lead the development and analysis of advanced radar and remote sensing systems
Perform system-level modeling, simulation, and performance analysis
Develop system architecture, block diagrams, interface definitions, and technical documentation
Translate customer and program requirements into detailed subsystem requirements for hardware, firmware, and software teams
Develop and maintain compliance matrices to ensure complete requirements traceability

Verification & Validation

Create comprehensive verification and validation plans for systems and subsystems
Lead verification testing activities and analyze test results
Ensure technical performance objectives are achieved throughout the product lifecycle
Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis during development and testing

Program Leadership

Develop and maintain engineering schedules and milestones
Identify risks and implement creative workarounds to keep programs on schedule
Collaborate across multiple disciplines to ensure successful execution
Serve as a technical resource and mentor for junior engineers

Innovation & Business Growth

Stay current on emerging technologies, industry trends, and competitive products
Research and evaluate new technical approaches that enhance company capabilities
Contribute to technical publications, white papers, and marketing articles
Identify and support proposal opportunities for future business development efforts
Help grow the engineering organization through mentoring and future hiring initiatives

What We're Looking For

Master's Degree in Engineering with emphasis in Remote Sensing, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline
10+ years of experience in radar systems, remote sensing, aerospace, defense, or advanced sensing technologies
Strong systems engineering background with experience in requirements development, architecture, verification, and validation
Experience with software and firmware development processes
Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering efforts
Strong communication and technical documentation skills
Ability to balance hands-on engineering work with strategic leadership responsibilities

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary: $100,000 - $140,000+ depending on experience, education, and technical expertise

Benefits Include:

Relocation Assistance Available
Comprehensive Medical Insurance
401(k) Retirement Program
Paid Time Off
Paid Holidays
Professional Development Opportunities
Opportunity for long-term career growth and leadership advancement

Location

This position is based in Longmont, Colorado and requires an onsite presence. Due to the collaborative nature of the work and the size of the engineering organization, candidates must be able to work in the office a minimum of 40 hours per week, five days per week.

If you're excited by complex engineering challenges, advanced radar technology, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a growing R&D environment, we'd love to hear from you.
