Enterprise - System Engineer - JIRA, Documentation, Milestones

Erias Ventures•Annapolis Junction, MD

About The Position

Erias Ventures is seeking a Software Engineer who analyzes user’s requirements, concept of operations documents, and high-level system architectures to develop system requirements specifications. This role involves analyzing system requirements and leading design and development activities, guiding users in formulating requirements, advising on alternative approaches, and conducting feasibility studies. The engineer will provide technical leadership for the integration of requirements, design, and technology, and incorporate new plans, designs, and systems into ongoing operations. Responsibilities include developing technical documentation, system architecture, and system design documentation. The role also involves guiding system development and implementation planning through assessment or preparation of system engineering management plans and system integration and test plans. The engineer will interact with the Government regarding Systems Engineering technical considerations and associated problems, issues, or conflicts, holding ultimate responsibility for the technical integrity of work performed and deliverables associated with the Systems Engineering area of responsibility. Communication with other program personnel, government overseers, and senior executives is essential. The position contributes to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents. The role manages system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems compatible with defined system architectures (e.g., Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA)). Assistance with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and their allocation to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components is expected. The engineer will coordinate the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews requiring cross-discipline coordination. Participation in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based on the evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations is required. The role involves interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle. Allocation of real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components, and deriving lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions a system component must fulfill, ensuring these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable, are key aspects of this position. The engineer will generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions, and participate in establishing and gaining approval for the definition of a system or component under development. Defining the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which systems, subsystems, and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan, and developing system design solutions that satisfy system requirements and fulfill functional analysis are also part of the role. Additionally, the engineer will develop derived requirements for Information Assurance Services and Security Mechanism Technology, and review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages, and the integrated master plan (IMP).

Requirements
