SYSTEM ENGINEER

About the position

The position involves managing system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with defined system architectures such as the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and Service-oriented Architecture (SOA). The role requires contributing to the development of various systems engineering documentation, including System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents. Additionally, the candidate will assist in developing system requirements and functional requirements, allocating them to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components. Coordination of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews is also a key responsibility, requiring cross-discipline collaboration. The candidate will participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based on evaluations of necessary development and operational considerations. Responsibilities also include allocating real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components, generating alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions. The role requires defining methods, processes, and evaluation criteria for verifying systems, subsystems, and work products against their requirements in a written plan. Finally, the candidate will develop system design solutions that satisfy system requirements and fulfill functional analysis, as well as review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structures (WBS), work packages, and the integrated master plan (IMP).

Responsibilities

• Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems compatible with defined system architectures.
• Contribute to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
• Assist with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components.
• Coordinate the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination.
• Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations.
• Allocate real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components.
• Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions.
• Define the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan.
• Develop system design solution that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis.
• Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages and the integrated master plan (IMP).

Requirements

• Fourteen (14) years' experience as a Systems Engineer in programs and contracts of similar scope, type and complexity is required.
• Five (5) years of additional Systems Engineering experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
