Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Systems Engineering Practitioner to support integrated defense systems implementing a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to design, integrate, and manage complex systems that protect assets from threats across various domains, including air, space, and cyberspace. The practitioner balances a system's cost, schedule, performance, and risk throughout its entire lifecycle—from concept development through deployment, sustainment, and retirement. This involves translating high-level requirements from military and defense stakeholders into actionable technical specifications for specialized engineering teams and ensuring that all disparate subsystems, such as radar, communications, and weapons, work together seamlessly. Ultimately, their role is to ensure the delivered defense capability is resilient, effective, and dependable for the warfighter by managing the technical complexity and coordinating the efforts of diverse teams.

Requirements and architecture development: Lead the creation of detailed system requirements, architectures, and design specifications using SysML and UML
Modeling tool proficiency: Utilize MagicDraw (or similar tools) to create, manage, and execute model-based engineering projects
Defense systems knowledge: Apply a thorough understanding of the military's DOTMLPF-P framework
Stakeholder engagement: Collaborate with program managers, engineers, logisticians, and military personnel
Documentation and reporting: Develop and deliver comprehensive documentation, technical reports, and briefings
Analysis and assessments: Perform gap analysis, impact assessments, and trade studies using model-based methods
Mentorship and guidance: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers
Process improvement: Contribute to the development and enhancement of MBSE processes and methodologies
Problem-solving: Troubleshoot and resolve complex systems engineering challenges

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineering
10 years of experience in systems engineering
5 years in a Lead or Principal role
Demonstrated experience with the full lifecycle development of complex defense sensor systems
Experience with system architecture development and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) principles and tools
