Full Job Description
Build bold. Deliver impact. Win together. At General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada, we’re not just engineering technology — we’re shaping the future of defence and security. Our teams design and deliver advanced, mission-critical solutions that enhance national security, strengthen communities, and protect the people we serve. If you’re looking for meaningful work that contributes to a safer, more secure world, you’ll find purpose here. Every day, your skills will directly impact programs that matter. The Air & Naval (A&N) Division delivers sophisticated, mission-critical systems for air and maritime applications. Our team specializes in areas such as integrated sonar systems, acoustic signal processing, training and simulation environments, and data management platforms. We work closely with defense partners to deliver reliable, effective, and operationally relevant solutions. We are currently hiring for a Senior System Engineer to join our A&N Division, focused on complex sonar architectures composed of multiple subsystems — including sonobuoys and processing, transmit and receive arrays, hull mounted sonars, Torpedo sonar intercept sensors, handling systems, and operator interfaces — into a unified, mission-ready capability. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to system-level integration and performance of advanced sonar solutions used in naval operations. You day to day could include: * Performing system requirements analysis and definition for new or evolving products from a system-of-systems perspective, ensuring alignment and interoperability among multiple sonar subsystems and supporting components * Designing system architecture, conducting trade studies, and defining system interfaces across integrated sonar suites (e.g., hull-mounted, towed, and variable depth sonar systems) * Planning and executing system integration, including lab setup, test planning, and troubleshooting at both subsystem and full-system levels to validate integrated sonar
