About The Position

The Staff Systems Engineer performs requirements analysis and management, technical planning, systems level design, systems integration, verification and validation, cost and risk management, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems. Also performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into systems specifications. Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal. Ensure the logistical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total system solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule and cost constraints. The Systems Engineer will provide guidance in the development of new defense systems and components functioning as part of a System / Integrated Product Team. Responsibilities and Tasks (listed in bullet format) in order of priority to be successful Perform requirements management, analysis, and allocations on complex systems design Lead complex systems level architecture design and perform system level modeling and simulation. Lead cost estimates to support engineering activities. Execute program while providing technical leadership. Recommend tools to improve systems engineering design of a product and procedures. Develop systems specifications, master test plans, and other necessary artifacts. Provide inputs into the integrated master schedules and track program progress. Assist in verification and validation responsibilities. Fully understand internal systems engineering procedures and mentor entry level engineers. Lead and execute transition of technologies from R&D/advanced concepts into production or program baselines. Lead and execute Software/hardware integration, including leading these efforts.
