EMW, Inc. is looking for a seasoned engineer to step in for a short-term, high-impact contract at a NATO facility in Belgium. If you hold a NATO Secret clearance and enjoy designing complex technical solutions for government infrastructure, this role offers a great chance to work on critical systems in a professional, secure environment.
Job description
Deadline Date: Monday 2 November 2026
Requirement: Senior Solution Engineer
Location: Braine-l'Alleud, BE
Full Time On-Site: Yes
Time On-Site: 100%
Total Scope of the request (hours): 300
Required Start Date: 14 December 2026
End Contract Date: 31 December 2026
Required Security Clearance: NATO SECRET
Duties & Role:
1. System and Solution Engineering
Analyse operational, functional & project requirements & translate them into implementable DCIS solutions.
Define the overall technical solution and system architecture using the established DCIS Node, Module & Service taxonomies.
Ensure that the resulting system delivers the required end-to-end functionality & emergent behaviour.
Perform technical trade-off analyses considering performance, interoperability, security, deployability, resilience, maintainability, cost, schedule & technological maturity.
2. Model Based Systems Engineering
Apply MBSE throughout the engineering lifecycle.
Map project requirements against existing Requirement Models, Implementation Guidelines & Implementation Constraints.
Maximise reuse of approved Modules, Services, architectures & engineering patterns.
Identify gaps where existing Requirement Models or standardized building blocks cannot satisfy project requirements.
3. Complex Systems Product Ownership – Operational Nodes
For designated Nodes already introduced into operational service, act as the Complex Systems Product Owner:
Maintain technical ownership and system-level design responsibility for assigned operational Nodes throughout their lifecycle.
Maintain an authoritative understanding of the Node architecture, configuration, interfaces, dependencies, capabilities & design constraints.
Ensure that modifications to individual Modules or Services do not compromise the overall coherence, interoperability, performance, security or operational capability of the Node.
Assess operational technical issues from an end-to-end system perspective & coordinate their resolution with the appropriate SMEs, Model Custodians & service organizations.
Analyse requests for change, obsolescence issues, technology refreshes, security changes & evolving operational requirements to determine their impact on the complete Node.
Define & maintain the technical evolution path & Node roadmap, aligned with Module & Service roadmaps & the wider DCIS Target Architecture.
Identify technical debt, architectural divergence, lifecycle risks & emerging obsolescence before they become operational constraints.
Initiate or recommend engineering activities required to maintain the technical viability of the Node.
Provide system-level technical guidance to operations, maintenance & service-management organizations where issues require design-level knowledge.
Ensure that operational experience & lessons identified are fed back into the Modularity Framework, Requirement Models & future system designs.
Maintain consistency between the as-designed, as-built and as-operated technical baselines of the Node.
Support configuration & change-control processes by assessing the system-level impact of proposed changes.
4. Multi-Domain Technical Integration
Integrate engineering contributions across DCIS technical domains, including as applicable: Network & Communication Access; WAN/LAN and network services; SATCOM & tactical communications; Radio systems; Infrastructure & Platform services; compute, virtualization & cloud technologies; storage & data services; cybersecurity & security services; identity & access management; Business Support Services; automation, orchestration & Infrastructure-as-Code; physical deployable infrastructure & associated supporting systems.
5. Technical Coordination
Act as the primary technical focal point for assigned projects & operational Nodes.
Coordinate the engineering contributions required from the different technical domains.
Translate system-level requirements & operational issues into clear engineering tasks & technical questions for the appropriate SMEs & Model Custodians.
Integrate the outputs produced by the different engineering disciplines into a single coherent solution.
Identify conflicting requirements, assumptions or design decisions & drive their technical resolution.
Specific Working Conditions: Possible travel to other Agency & NATO sites within Belgium up to 1 - 2 times per month
Skills, Knowledge & Experience:
The candidate must have a currently active NATO SECRET security clearance
University degree in Systems Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or another relevant discipline.
10 years of relevant professional engineering experience, including significant experience with complex ICT/CIS, defence, aerospace, telecommunications or other highly integrated technical systems.
Experience in Systems Engineering and/or Solution Architecture applied to complex systems.
Professional working proficiency in English, including the ability to produce and review complex technical documentation
Essential Professional Experience
Complex Systems Engineering: Significant experience in the architecture, design, integration, verification or lifecycle management of complex systems involving multiple technical domains. Demonstrated ability to translate operational or business needs into system requirements, architectures and implementable technical solutions. Experience defining and managing system boundaries; functional decomposition; interfaces; dependencies; constraints; non-functional requirements; system-level performance
Technical Leadership: Experience as a Technical Lead, Lead Systems Engineer, Solution Architect, System Architect or equivalent senior engineering role. Experience technically coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams and SMEs
Ability to provide clear technical direction: Experience resolving technical disagreements and driving engineering decisions across organizationa
