The candidate will perform as a Systems Engineer within the NavMPS (Naval Mission Planning System) IPT with a focus on modernizing the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) Expeditionary mission planner. The program focuses on the replacement of legacy mission planning software and system architectures to achieve real-time collaboration, automation, and enhanced mission capabilities for Marine Corps aircrew and expeditionary planners. The program is applying innovative software technologies, large scale Agile, and SecDevOps to revolutionize mission planning solutions and the deployment of those solutions to operational environments. You will be part of a dynamic and diverse team that will bring modern digital technologies to the planning, execution, and post-mission analysis for U.S. Marine Corps Expeditionary Forces. This position allows for hybrid (mixed on-site and telework) efforts. Requires travel approximately 6 times per year. Current Secret clearance is required. The selected candidate will be responsible for but not limited to: Apply systems engineering processes to the analysis, planning, development, verification, deployment, and documentation of modern mission planning software. Analyze a variety of current and next generation mission operation domains in order to translate these into requirements and system views using MBSE. Engage directly with Naval aircrew and Project Officers to evaluate gaps and identify improvements to the Next Gen mission planning solutions, and translate those into requirements, digital representations (Models, Use Cases, Interactions, etc), and recommendation briefs. Collaborate with leadership, other engineers, vendors, and software project leads in a large scale Agile SAFe workflow software development process to evolve user requirements into solutions that enhance the mission planning. Participate or lead working groups to address system safety and certification requirements and documentation for the software.
