About The Position

Serving as a Systems Engineer supporting the System of Systems Integration (SOSI) Team, the ideal candidate will be leading on system of systems architecture design, integration, testing, validation, and troubleshooting for current and future capabilities and providing engineering support, technical guidance and recommendations to Senior Leadership. Successful candidate will act as a liaison between PM Tactical Radios (PM TR) Technical Management Division (TMD), C5ISR Center, O5 Product Managers from across ASA(ALT), and Army and Joint units, assisting in technology transitions and capability integration within system of systems architectures across PM TR and PEO C3T. In addition, serving as a liaison between technical working groups within PM TR to integrate and assess current technologies and recommend new technologies in support of the Army’s Future Forces, the ideal Systems of Systems Integration Engineer will be expected to: Perform system of systems architecture design, integration, testing, validation, troubleshooting, and documentation for current and future capabilities for PM TR. Handle high level system architectures and interfaces for PM TR. Create roadmaps and plans for integration of current and future capabilities, including integrated test/assessment/analysis. Apply understanding of the Army’s C3T tactical network and apply system engineering principles to recommend technical insertions. Leverage deep understanding of the Army's Systems of Systems Architecture. Represent PM TR at exercise and experimentation events and prepare executive summaries. Demonstrate understanding of Army Acquisition and requirements processes (including MTA and JCIDS). Plan, manage and recommend emerging technologies, working with vendors to investigate and assess technologies for future adoption and transition to PM TR. Maintain awareness of current, evolving, and new technologies applicable to C3T systems. Interface with vendors to understand and troubleshoot integration of capabilities. Support development of tech insertion, experimentation plans, and fielding schedules for future system of systems architectures. Manage and develop recommended Network Basis of Issue (NBOI) and network diagrams for system of systems architectures. Interface with technical professionals in their respective fields for R&D work as well as in the writing, editing and publication of various types of documents to include test plans, test cases, reports and presentations. Conduct comprehensive assessments of the operational and technical requirements of products being brought in to support the program. Work proactively with team members to resolve project-related findings and the implementation of corrective actions. Develop test plans and execute testing in both lab and field environments.
