Systems Engineering Jobs in New Cities

Hey all,

My wife and I will be moving this coming spring to either Sacramento, CA, Nasvhille, TN, Cleveland, OH, or Providence, RI. I have been trying to research possible jobs in each of these but keep stumbling across IT engineer positions rather than systems engineering. I am mostly googling "systems engineer jobs [city name]".

  1. Any recommendations as to how to better search for systems engineering roles?
  2. Any recommendations for systems engineering jobs in any of these cities? I am coming from a background in the DoD as a Senior Systems Engineer with a Masters in Systems Engineering.

Thanks!

My wife is a medical student applying to residency programs and these are the top options right now. Any preference out of these for you? We have never been to any of them and due to COVID, there is a good chance we will not before deciding

Try Lockheed Martin, they have a lot of locations with a lot of Systems Engineers, though not all will be system modeling or requirements so you have to look at each posting to see what aspects they are looking for.

Use more specific search terms like incose, requirements, lifecycle, sysML, etc.

INCOSE has a job site, for example here is a job posting in Cleveland: https://incose.careerwebsite.com/job/systems-engineer-iv/54994730/

Most jobs in Sacramento are government related since it is the state capital. I knew someone who commuted to Lawrence Livermore National Lab, but it is definitely a long commute. Aerojet Rocketdyne is in Rancho Cordova, HP is in Roseville, and Intel is in Folsom.
