About The Position

Become a part of something IMPACT-ful! Ground Missile Defense (GMD) is the heart of the Missile Defense System and a key element of our nation’s defense against ballistic missile attacks. The GMD Weapon System (GWS) processes data from multiple sensors to identify and characterize the inbound ballistic missile threat, plans the best defensive solution, and launches the intercepting missiles to negate the threat. The Systems Engineer Sr Stf responsibilities include software development and support of the Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA’s) Ground-Based Mid-course Defense (GMD) program. You will be responsible for developing and implementing system updates that best meet changing customer needs for new and existing features, collaborating with team members, and working in a cross-functional agile scrum team. The successful candidate will perform most typical Agile Product Owner (PO) responsibilities for the GWS GFC Threat State Algorithms and Analysis team, making sure that developed features and related sprint stories contain the appropriate closure criteria and that they meet those criteria prior to be closed. To fulfill this role, the candidate will lead and perform technical tasks to support the development and evaluation of Algorithmic candidates addressing new capabilities in the tactical product. This engineer/analyst will help ensure algorithmic design has been properly evaluated prior to implementation in the tactical product.
