Position Description

**Secret Clearance Required to Start.**

This position will be responsible for helping drive the program systems engineering effort and be a key leader on the team tasked with owning overall system definition and functional design. Key aspects of this work include leading functional/behavioral decompositions, requirements, interfaces, CONOPS, and system parametrics, and then working across the program engineering teams to link them all together in the MBSE tool suite.

Position Responsibilities:
• Lead the development of system functions, requirements, architectures, and allocations to hardware, software, and personnel components in a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) context.
• Lead the coordination efforts between a range of engineering disciplines to define system functions and requirements related to system development and lifecycle engineering.
• Apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design, develop and verify complex lifecycle balanced system of systems and system solutions.
• Evaluate customer/operational needs to define and coordinate system performance requirements, integrate technical parameters and assure compatibility of all physical, functional and program interfaces.
• Resolve cross-functional technical issues.
• Interface with safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, survivability, vulnerability, susceptibility, system security, regulatory, certification, product assurance, and other specialty engineering groups to ensure a well-balanced system design early in the lifecycle.
• Manage the development of systems engineering material such as System Concept of Operations, System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements, Specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
• Plan, design, and develop lifecycle balanced system solutions for a highly complex system; allocate performance budgets and analyze system performance.
• Utilize understanding of engineering processes to collaborate with Program Management and Engineering functions to support Customer needs.
• Develop the planning, organization, implementation and monitoring of requirements management processes, tools, risk, issues, opportunity management and technology readiness assessment processes.
• Lead analyses and trade study activities to optimize total system definition and architecture.
