- Relevant MA/MS/ME degree.
- Skilled in development and fielding cryptographic and satellite communication systems.
- Understanding of space operational environment and corresponding mission user needs.
- Knowledge of space mission payload engineering, development, and manufacturing.
- Experience in DoD program management including program development and transition.
- Experience with Integrated Master Schedules, and risk management
- Experience with Statements of Work (SOW) and Performance Work Statements (PWS).
- Active TS clearance with in-scope T5/SSBI is required, along with SCI eligibility and participation in Continuous Evaluation.
- Must meet all requirements for SCI and SAP access and be willing to undergo a polygraph examination.
- Travel up to 30% of time within the continental United States.
Desired Qualifications:
- Five (5) years of relevant DoD and/or Industry work experience with SAP/RSV and/or SCI.

Mid Level Systems Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level systems engineer job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just contribution. Highlight projects where you drove outcomes independently, made architectural or integration decisions, and resolved complex technical problems without constant guidance. Tailor your resume to show scope growth across your career so far, and emphasize cross-functional collaboration, documentation, and any work where you supported or guided junior engineers.
Which companies hire mid level systems engineers?
Companies hiring mid level systems engineers right now include Amazon, Delta Electronics (Americas), and Apple, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including defense contractors, cloud infrastructure providers, aerospace firms, and enterprise technology companies building or scaling complex systems.
Are there remote mid level systems engineer jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by industry and employer. About 23% of mid level systems engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with defense and government-adjacent roles more likely to require on-site presence due to security clearance requirements, while commercial tech and software-heavy roles offer more flexibility.
How do I move up to a mid level systems engineer role?
The path from entry level to mid level is built on deepening ownership. Start by taking on full ownership of smaller subsystems or features, then expand to cross-team integration work and design decisions. Measurable impact matters: document system improvements, reliability gains, or performance wins. Consistently demonstrating that you work independently and bring solutions rather than problems accelerates that progression.
Which industries hire the most mid level systems engineers?
Mid Level systems engineer roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Technology & Software, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they depend on robust, complex systems that require experienced engineers who can own integration, performance, and reliability without close supervision.
