Systems Engineer: HSV-26105

deciBel ResearchHuntsville, AL
Onsite

About The Position

The successful candidate serves as a Systems Engineering point of contact for product capabilities within one or more agile development teams supporting Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Modeling and Simulation (M&S) efforts.

Requirements

  • 2-5 years of professional experience supporting Modeling and Simulation (M&S) products or related technical systems
  • Hands-on experience with scripting languages (primarily Python); familiarity or ability to quickly learn compiled languages such as C++ is a plus
  • Demonstrated experience defining, deriving, and verifying system/software requirements in an M&S environment, including traceability and verification/validation activities
  • Applied Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles and techniques across software/system lifecycles (tool-agnostic approach preferred; SysML familiarity a plus)
  • Experience collaborating on logical software architecture, supporting detailed design and implementation efforts, and working in agile software development environments (iterative cycles, Scrum/Kanban or similar, clear Acceptance criteria)
  • Practical understanding of natural physics simulation concepts and integration/testing of M&S products within System-of-System (SoS) environments.
  • Proven ability to produce technical reports, briefing materials, and communicate complex concepts effectively (written and oral)
  • Working familiarity with lifecycle management tools such as Jira and Confluence
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen.

Nice To Haves

  • Experience authoring and maintaining governance artifacts such as Use Cases, interface control documents/specifications, and executable specifications.
  • Prior involvement in development and production of technical Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) deliverables for DoD programs.
  • Hands-on experience with real-time and/or non-real-time testing of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) products.
  • Familiarity with Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) principles and their application in defense or simulation systems
  • Exposure to additional MBSE diagramming tools or techniques (beyond core requirement tools) as needed for clarification or stakeholder communication
  • Willingness and ability to contribute directly to software implementation or testing tasks to support team velocity

Responsibilities

  • Authors, maintains, and refines system-level requirements and associated governance artifacts using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles in collaboration with Product Owners and development teams
  • Leads or significantly contributes to system architecture decisions, CONOPS development, interface definition, logical software structure, trade studies, technical risk evaluations, and gap analyses
  • Drives detailed requirements derivation, test case construction and traceability, integration planning, verification/validation, and System-of-System (SoS) integration of M&S capabilities throughout the development lifecycle
  • Ensures the Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) and associated artifacts (traceability matrix, verification & validation plans, interface specifications, etc.) are maintained, applied, and continuously improved within agile workflows and product lifecycles
  • Drives adoption of agile systems engineering best practices
