About The Position

Peraton is seeking a Systems Engineer to lead end-to-end systems engineering efforts - from researching and documenting SIGINT findings to developing system requirements, guiding analytics implementation, and producing DoDAF-compliant architectures. You will work closely with Cryptologic Intelligence Analysts (CRIAs) and Target Digital Network Analysts (TDNAs).

Requirements

14 years of Systems Engineering experience on programs of similar scope, type, and complexity
Demonstrated experience planning and leading Systems Engineering efforts at the program level
Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or a related discipline
Active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph required

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with SIGINT tradecraft and digital network analysis methodologies
Experience working alongside Cryptologic Intelligence Analysts (CRIAs) or Target Digital Network Analysts (TDNAs)
Prior experience on intelligence community programs with similar mission scope
Additional 4 years of SE experience may be substituted in lieu of degree

Responsibilities

Research SIGINT datasets relevant to the mission; document findings and translate them into system requirement specifications for implementation in analytics and knowledge bases
Lead and guide systems engineering efforts for digital network analysis functions, including requirements elicitation, functional allocation, and end-to-end flow analysis
Develop operational view (OV), technical standards view (TV), and systems & services view (SV) architectures in accordance with DoDAF standards
Support fingerprinting/schema development, Lenses functionality, and CRIA/TDNA Persona capabilities
Design and develop comprehensive Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions
Conduct and approve end-to-end system trade analyses to optimize performance, cost, and lifecycle balance across non-functional requirements
Develop system design alternatives weighing lifecycle cost, reuse, complexity, risk, and growth potential
Apply validated models, simulations, and prototyping to mitigate risk and reduce development cost
Lead risk management activities — develop courses of action, workarounds, and fallback positions; monitor risks using Earned Value Management (EVM) data
Support Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) efforts; recommend preferred solutions based on technology constraints, environmental impact, and lifecycle cost
Oversee configuration management across hardware, software, and documentation throughout the system lifecycle; serve as a member of the Configuration Control Board (CCB)
Provide technical direction for development, integration, and testing of complex hardware/software systems, including interface standards and concept of operations (CONOPS) development
