Position Overview
Alexandria Insights is seeking Software Systems Engineers (Mid-Level and Senior-Level) to support a U.S. Marine Corps acquisition program in Stafford, VA.

• Support development and review of system-level artifacts (e.g., ICDs, specifications, test plans)
• Analyze software integration, interoperability, and cybersecurity impacts across systems
• Participate in Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), technical reviews, and SETR events (SRR, SFR, etc.)
• Support test planning, execution, and evaluation
• Provide recommendations to the government on software readiness, risks, and compliance posture

• Executes technical reviews of SVDs and software documentation with guidance

• Provides recommendations on software readiness and risk to government stakeholders

• Guides IPT discussions and mentors junior engineers
• Interfaces directly with government leads and vendors to resolve technical issues
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field (experience may substitute)
• Mid-Level: 5–9 years | Senior-Level: 10+ years
• Experience with DoD acquisition processes and lifecycle documentation
• Familiarity with SVDs, CDRLs, and systems engineering artifacts
• Understanding of software integration within hardware-based systems
• Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience supporting USMC, Navy, or DoD tactical systems
