Systems Integration Engineer with Security Clearance

The Opportunity NTS is seeking an experienced Systems Integration Engineer to design, integrate, test, deploy, and sustain mission-critical video, networking, and communications systems supporting U.S. Department of State (DoS) operations. This position supports a diverse range of technologies operating across mobile, tactical, and enterprise environments, including vehicle-mounted systems, deployable field solutions, and fixed infrastructure.

The engineer will help ensure that video, network, computing, and communications technologies work together to deliver reliable, secure, and effective mission capabilities. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, technically versatile engineer with a strong foundation in systems integration and IP networking, an understanding of video technologies, and the ability to troubleshoot complex systems involving multiple hardware, software, and communications components.

The Systems Integration Engineer will work directly with government customers, engineering teams, and industry partners to evaluate emerging technologies, develop engineering solutions, establish technical standards, and support system deployments. This position supports domestic and international operations, including potentially high-threat and austere environments. Travel of up to 20%, including extended temporary duty (TDY) assignments, may be required.
