Senior Systems Engineer

This is a Systems Engineering role focused on submarine Fire Control Systems at General Dynamics Mission Systems; it sits at the boundary of systems/hardware engineering and software integration rather than squarely in a single SOC — 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest match, with 15-1299 as a runner-up given the defense/embedded systems context.

The role title is 'Advanced Systems Engineer' with no explicit seniority level in the title; 'Unspecified' is used for advertised seniority. The 5+ years requirement and cross-functional technical leadership scope support a Senior classification.

All listed technical skills (Fire Control Systems experience, requirements management, system modeling tools, hardware/software integration, Agile) appear under a 'preferred skills or experiences' section — none are hard-gated in the Basic Qualifications, which state only a degree and years of experience.

The clearance requirement is 'must be able to obtain a Secret clearance' — the candidate need not hold one at hire, but it is a hard gate on eligibility.

U.S. citizenship is explicitly required due to the nature of the work.

The position is fully on-site in Pittsfield, MA, with a possible future flex option; it is not remote.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): requirements management.

Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
