System Engineer (Mid)

Issac, LLCHuntsville, AL
$140,000 - $170,000Onsite

About The Position

The System Engineering & Integration Team (SE&IT) is seeking a Responsible Systems Engineer (RSE) to join the System Concepts and Requirements (SC&R) team in Huntsville, AL. The successful candidate will lead cross-functional teams to develop system level architecture and requirements to influence Missile Defense Agency (MDA) incremental capability. The candidate will use Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to evaluate architectural impacts through functional and behavior analysis for the defeat of conventional and advanced Threats (i.e., ballistic, aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.) systems within the (MDA) mission areas. The RSE will collaborate in an MBSE environment to develop system-of-systems requirements via system/component trade studies and analysis, and lead the development of Change Notices (CNs) to MDA's system specification to include functional, interface and performance requirements, architectural models, interface definitions, and support Trace verification from System to Element level requirements. The RSE will develop and deliver products (i.e., technical briefings, CNs) to support internal and MDA stakeholder reviews.

Requirements

  • Strong technical background in architecture development, functional decomposition and allocation of requirements (performance, functional and interface definition) with system-modelling tools.
  • Strong prior experience with use of MSOSA (Cameo) and DOORS.
  • Demonstrated knowledge in any of the MDA domain areas; including Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF).
  • Ability to think critically and capture concepts in papers, presentations and discussions.
  • Good communication/presentation skills.
  • Capable of working both independently and within a small team environment.
  • Work in close coordination with the customer.
  • Secret clearance.

Nice To Haves

  • Demonstrated experience modeling or simulating missile defense applications or similar domains (air combat, air defense, intercept of ballistic targets, intercept of non-ballistic targets, space vehicles, sub-orbital mechanics, etc.).
  • Knowledge of ballistic and advanced threat systems (i.e., aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.).
  • Modeling and analysis experience in aspects of the missile defense system (e.g., Aegis Weapons Systems, Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF), kill vehicles, interceptors, countermeasures).
  • Systems engineering experience with large, complex systems.

Responsibilities

  • Lead cross-functional teams to develop system level architecture and requirements.
  • Use Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to evaluate architectural impacts through functional and behavior analysis.
  • Collaborate in an MBSE environment to develop system-of-systems requirements via system/component trade studies and analysis.
  • Lead the development of Change Notices (CNs) to MDA's system specification.
  • Develop and deliver products (i.e., technical briefings, CNs) to support internal and MDA stakeholder reviews.
