Requirements Systems Engineer

Noblis • Philadelphia, PA

7h • $78,900 - $123,300

About The Position

Noblis MSD's mission is to support the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) in enabling research, development, test and evaluation, acquisition, engineering, systems integration, in-service support, and fleet engineering with cybersecurity, comprehensive logistics, and life-cycle savings. We are seeking a Requirements Systems Engineer to support U.S. Navy machinery control and shipboard software efforts through requirements development, requirements management, and systems engineering analysis.

This role focuses on applying systems engineering principles to define, organize, and manage complex system and software requirements across the engineering lifecycle. The ideal candidate will support Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) activities, requirements traceability, and development of system context diagrams and architectural artifacts while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering OR Systems Engineering preferred, other STEM or technical writing/communications degrees will be considered based on experience
• 3+ years of professional experience supporting systems engineering, requirements development, technical documentation, or system integration activities
• Demonstrated ability to analyze technical systems and communicate requirements clearly and effectively
• Active DoD Secret clearance or ability to achieve DoD Secret clearance and US citizenship
• Must have a valid US passport or ability to obtain one upon position acceptance
• Ability to travel 5-10% of the time
• Employees working in naval industrial environments, whether shipboard or pierside, must meet certain physical requirements to safely perform essential job functions. Individuals must be capable of standing and walking for extended periods, often on uneven, wet, or slippery surfaces, and must be able to climb vertical ladders, stairs, and steep inclines while carrying tools or equipment. The position requires the ability to work in confined spaces with limited ventilation and restricted movement, including crawling through narrow passageways and working in overhead or below-deck areas.
• Workers must possess sufficient manual dexterity and grip strength to operate hand and power tools, manipulate controls, and handle materials weighing up to fifty pounds on a regular basis, with occasional lifting of heavier objects with assistance. The role demands the physical ability to bend, stoop, kneel, crouch, and reach overhead repeatedly throughout the workday. Adequate vision is necessary to read technical manuals, identify color-coded systems, and detect safety hazards, while hearing capability must be sufficient to perceive warning signals, alarms, and verbal communications in noisy environments, with or without hearing protection.
• Employees must be able to work in varying environmental conditions including extreme temperatures, high humidity, direct sunlight, and exposure to weather elements. The position requires the stamina to work extended shifts and the balance and coordination necessary to maintain stability on moving vessels. Workers must be capable of responding quickly to emergency situations, including evacuating confined spaces and moving to emergency stations. Reasonable accommodations may be available for qualified individuals with disabilities who can perform the essential functions of the position with or without such accommodations.
