About The Position

As a Systems Engineer II, you will build on foundational skills and perform intermediate work in requirements engineering, systems integration, Verification & Validation (V&V), and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). You will conduct system and decision analysis, technical planning, and risk management with minimal supervision. You will contribute to and sometimes lead project tasks, applying working knowledge of architecture and design development, technical monitoring, and lifecycle management. Effective communication and collaboration with team members and stakeholders are essential to developing solutions and supporting organizational objectives. The role is within SNC’s Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance, Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area. IAS integrates manned and unmanned aircraft systems and delivers end-to-end C4ISR capabilities, including design, integration, test, certification, ground and flight training, and logistics support. The position requires the ability to work in a hybrid environment with occasional travel. Applicants must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret U.S. Security Clearance; U.S. citizenship is required for this position.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field; a higher-level relevant degree may substitute for experience.
At least 2 years of experience in systems engineering or a related field, unless substituted by a higher-level relevant degree.
Proficiency with systems modeling and simulation tools.
Practical knowledge of multiple engineering principles and practices.
Experience working in multidisciplinary design and development teams.
Knowledge of requirements management, functional requirements parsing, derivation and allocation; systems design and integration; technical risk identification and management strategies; and V&V principles.
