Title:

Systems Engineer - Hardware/Software Integration At KBR, we deliver science, technology and engineering solutions to governments and companies around the world. KBR employs approximately 37,000 people worldwide with customers in more than 85 countries and operations in over 28 countries. KBR is proud to work with its customers across the globe to provide technology, value-added services, and long-term operations and maintenance services to ensure consistent delivery with predictable results.

Trinzic is the future independent company to be created through the planned spin-off of KBR's Mission Technology Solutions business, expected in January 2027. Our people work at the frontier of what is possible, delivering solutions in challenging environments and advancing some of the world's highest-priority national security and space missions.

Backed by decades of mission success, deep expertise, and trusted partnerships, Trinzic will launch as a global organization with more than 18,000 employees supporting customers around the world. Join us at a defining moment and help shape the future of a company built to tackle complex challenges and make a meaningful impact.

Candidates who join KBR's Mission Technology Solutions business before the spin-off will transition to Trinzic when the separation is complete and will not need to reapply for employment.

Systems Engineer - Hardware/Software Integration

Position Overview As a Systems Engineer focused on Hardware/Software Integration, you will support the design, development, integration, and testing of complex airborne and mission systems composed of diverse hardware, software, communications, sensing, and control components. Working in a collaborative small-team environment, you will partner closely with software engineers, researchers, and system architects to rapidly prototype, integrate, test, and mature advanced capabilities from concept through demonstration.

This role combines systems engineering with hands-on technical development and integration. You will contribute to software development in C/C++, evaluate and integrate hardware devices and interfaces, develop hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop test environments, and support experimentation activities that reduce technical risk and accelerate capability development.

Success in this role requires a strong understanding of system architectures, hardware/software interactions, integration and troubleshooting methodologies, and the ability to work effectively within complex, multidisciplinary engineering efforts. You will collaborate with software engineers, hardware engineers, test engineers, program leadership, and government customers to define requirements, integrate system components, identify and resolve technical issues, and transition prototype capabilities into operationally relevant solutions.

Responsibilities

Support the design, development, integration, and testing of complex systems incorporating embedded hardware, sensors, communications devices, processing platforms, and software applications
Develop and maintain system architectures, interface definitions, and technical documentation for hardware and software subsystems
Collaborate closely with software engineers to develop, integrate, and test C/C++ applications supporting real-time and near real-time system functions
Design, implement, and maintain hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), and system integration test environments
Develop and integrate low-level software interfaces, middleware, drivers, and communication protocols supporting system functionality
Evaluate, integrate, and troubleshoot hardware devices including sensors, radios, cameras, control systems, compute platforms, networking equipment, and mission-related subsystems
Support laboratory, field, and flight-test activities including system setup, integration, experiment execution, data collection, and performance analysis
Conduct system verification, validation, and performance characterization activities to ensure technical requirements are met
Identify technical risks, integration challenges, and system deficiencies early in the development lifecycle and drive resolution activities
Analyze system behavior and performance using experimental data, logs, telemetry, and engineering analysis tools
Communicate technical findings, design recommendations, and test results to engineering teams, program leadership, and customers
Collaborate across multiple disciplines to mature prototype capabilities into robust operational solutions
Demonstrate technical ownership, initiative, accountability, and attention to mission success

Required Qualifications

Experience with autonomous systems, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), robotics, aerospace systems, or mission systems development
Experience designing or supporting hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), or digital engineering test environments
Experience integrating sensors, cameras, radios, navigation systems, flight controllers, or other mission hardware
Experience with Linux systems administration, scripting, and automation
Proficiency with Python and modern C++ development practices
Familiarity with real-time systems, distributed architectures, and multi-threaded software development
Experience with networking technologies, tactical communications, telemetry systems, and data transport architectures
Experience with laboratory, ground-test, and flight-test execution and data analysis
Experience using Git, CI/CD pipelines, Agile development processes, and collaborative software engineering tools
Experience supporting government research and development programs, rapid prototyping efforts, or advanced technology demonstrations
