• Must be a US Citizen and have a STAR ID.
• Ability to function in a self-directed dynamic work environment as an effective team member, willing to assume a leadership role in the SLS element systems engineering effort.
• Experience in developing systems requirements, verification strategies, and verification planning as well as facilitating the successful completion of verification compliance activities.
• Familiarity with Systems Engineering policies and procedures related to verification and experience with using tools/systems to manage verification compliance data.
• Demonstrated experience working across organizational boundaries and engineering disciplines to facilitate and execute program systems engineering tasks and resolve systems integration issues.
• Demonstrated experience developing and delivering executive-level briefings, excellent oral, written, and customer relation skills, and proficiency using Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook).
• Experience with Digital Engineering tools, such as: DOORS Next Generation, Jira, MagicDraw, or similar tools.

Nice To Haves

• Demonstrated experience in effective technical leadership of an engineering team.
• An understanding and knowledge of the current SLS program and a working understanding of the SLS Element interfaces.
• Knowledge of launch vehicle programmatic planning processes and experience performing oversight of prime candidate hardware production, test, and certification efforts.
• Familiarity with NASA Systems Engineering policies and procedures.
• Familiarity with aerospace vehicles and system design.
• Experience with defining and managing interfaces, interface requirements, and interface verification.
• Certification in Model Based System Engineering (MBSE), particularly Object Management Group® (OMG)-Certified Systems Modeling Professional™ (OCSMP™) Certification.

Responsibilities

• Support development of SLS element requirements and verification products and ensure compliance with these requirements during development, testing and evaluation of SLS sub-elements.
• Provide technical integration with other engineering disciplines, the SLS element, and cross-program elements, including risk-based insight/oversight through assessment of requirements and verification activities.
• Support the SLS element Lead Systems Engineer (LSE) and Engineering Discipline Lead Engineers (EDLEs) to evaluate prime contractor deliverables, including assessments of element Detailed Verification Objectives and verification of allocated end item specification requirements.
• Support for performing systems engineering tasks and assessments to support the SLS Program elements through reviews, meetings, working groups, trade studies and development of key systems engineering products to support program milestones.
• Support for developing integrated schedules and other tracking mechanisms to manage the work and identify risks and opportunities.
• Support for implementing Digital Engineering best practices, approaches, techniques, and tools.
• Support for requirement V&V including V&V planning, execution, coordination, and integration for system level requirements to assure design compliance.
• Communicate technical issues, risks, best practices and lessons-learned related to products, technical positions, requirement management, and V&V practices and develop integrated schedules and other tracking mechanisms to manage systems engineering tasks.
• Identify, describe, and communicate potential risks related to the products, processes and interactions in the systems engineering processes and document them in the NASA Risk Management System.
