About The Position

SRC, Inc. is seeking a Staff Systems Engineer for an upcoming position contingent on task award. The role supports the Department of War’s efforts to identify and defeat hard deeply buried targets (HDBT). It requires a strong technical foundation in analysis of alternatives (AoA) and systems engineering process management, and involves coordinating across manufacturing, testing, and operational organizations as technologies are integrated into end-to-end WMD/HDBT programs. The engineer will also assist with transition strategies through Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and collaborate with multidisciplinary government, military, and contractor teams. The position supports AoA and trade-off analysis, vulnerability and exploitation assessments, systems engineering process and schedule management, modeling and simulation capability gap analysis, and assessment of design limits and margins. The role is based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico; the posting gives an anticipated annual salary range of $107,000 to $130,000, with actual compensation varying based on experience, skills, abilities, location, and organizational needs.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in systems engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a STEM-related field.
Eight or more years of experience.
Active Top Secret / SCI security clearance, or eligibility for SCI at the time of application.
Proven experience conducting vulnerability analysis, analysis of alternatives, gap analysis, and trade-off studies within a DoD or government contracting framework.
Proficiency in uncertainty quantification and statistical analysis methodologies applied to complex engineering systems.
Ability to develop and manage systems engineering master schedules and technical baselines in compliance with DoW standards, such as MIL-STD and DoDAF.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce and present technical deliverables to government stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with JMEM, AMSAA, or other DoW weapons-effectiveness and lethality modeling frameworks.
Experience with autonomous systems.
Experience with digital engineering tools and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) platforms such as Cameo, DOORS, or equivalent.
Prior experience supporting OSD, DARPA, ARL, or service-level acquisition programs.
INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) or equivalent professional certification.
Experience with conventional weapons effects models and associated simulation toolsets used in national defense environments.

Responsibilities

Support analysis of alternatives (AoA) and trade-off analysis to inform design decisions, requirements development, and program risk management.
Conduct vulnerability analysis and exploitation assessments, applying conventional weapons effects models to evaluate system performance and survivability across operational scenarios.
Develop and maintain the Systems Engineering process framework and master schedule, aligning them with program milestones, deliverables, and government customer expectations.
Perform gap analyses of modeling and simulation capabilities, tools, and methodologies, and propose solutions to address identified deficiencies.
Assess predictive capabilities of design limits and margins, and provide data-driven recommendations for engineering decisions and risk mitigation.
Liaise across manufacturing, testing, and operational organizations to support technology integration into end-to-end WMD/HDBT programs.
Assist with technology transition strategies through Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs).
Collaborate across multidisciplinary government, military, and contractor teams.
