# System Engineer- LA

Description About the role You'll be the connective tissue of our engineering team - owning the system-level architecture, requirements, and integration strategy across hardware, software, and mechanical subsystems.

Identify and track system-level risks; develop mitigations before they become fielding problems. Serve as the technical lead in design reviews, interface control discussions, and customer/government tec
