Senior Systems Engineer, SME | U.S. Census Bureau
Help advance the U.S. Census Bureau’s technology modernization efforts as a Senior Systems Engineer supporting CenTAM’s Enterprise and Geospatial Transformation & Application Modernization (GeoTAM) program.
In this position, you will provide senior-level technical leadership and architectural oversight across enterprise and geospatial modernization initiatives. You will oversee the overall systems architecture, guide the integration of applications and technologies, and help drive cloud modernization efforts. Working with engineering teams and technical specialists, you will evaluate proposed solutions, establish technical direction, and ensure the overall approach supports business and mission requirements while following established architecture principles and engineering best practices.
This is primarily a technical leadership and oversight position, rather than a day-to-day hands-on engineering role.

Your leadership will help ensure the successful coordination and delivery of modernization initiatives that support the Census Bureau’s mission.
This opportunity is an excellent fit for an experienced systems engineering professional with a strong background in enterprise architecture, systems integration, and cloud modernization who is ready to apply that expertise at the broader program level.
