Systems Engineer

Archarithms Inc•Huntsville, AL

4h•Hybrid

About The Position

Arcarithm is a company focused on artificial intelligence, optimization, and data analytics, working with customers like Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, the Missile Defense Agency, and NASA on cutting-edge technologies including machine learning, augmented and virtual reality, and big data analytics. The company is located in Huntsville, AL, and fosters an environment of integrity, open communication, work-life balance, and career development. The System Engineering & Integration Team (SE&IT) is seeking a Responsible Systems Engineer (RSE) to join the System Design and Requirements Capability team in Huntsville, AL. This role involves leading cross-functional teams to develop system-level architecture and requirements to influence Missile Defense Agency (MDA) incremental capability. The successful candidate will use Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to evaluate architectural impacts through functional and behavior analysis for the defeat of conventional and advanced Threats within the MDA mission areas.

Requirements

Must have an active and transferable DoD security clearance with current investigation at the required level
Must be able to maintain the required clearance
Degree in an engineering classification, mathematics or physics: Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD
Minimum of 10-20 years of increasingly responsible Systems Engineering experience
Demonstrate a strong technical background in architecture development, functional decomposition and allocation of requirements (performance, functional and interface definition) with system-modelling tools
Strong prior experience with use of MSOSA (Cameo) and DOORS
Demonstrated knowledge in any of the MDA domain areas; including Aegis Weapons Systems, Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF)
Demonstrate the ability to think critically and capture concepts in papers, presentations and discussions
Possess good communication/presentation skills
Capable of working both independently and within a small team environment

Nice To Haves

Demonstrated experience modeling or simulating missile defense applications or similar domains (air combat, air defense, intercept of ballistic targets, intercept of non-ballistic targets, space vehicles, sub-orbital mechanics, etc.)
Knowledge of ballistic and advanced threat systems (i.e., aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.)
Modeling and analysis experience in aspects of the missile defense system (e.g., Aegis Weapons Systems, Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF), kill vehicles, interceptors, countermeasures, Systems engineering experience with large, complex systems

Responsibilities

Lead cross-functional teams to develop system level architecture and requirements to influence Missile Defense Agency (MDA) incremental capability
Use Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to evaluate architectural impacts through functional and behavior analysis for the defeat of conventional and advanced Threats (i.e., ballistic, aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.)systems within the (MDA) mission areas
Collaborate in an MBSE environment to develop system-of-systems requirements via system/component trade studies and analysis
Lead the development of Change Notices (CNs) to MDA’s system specification to include functional, interface and performance requirements, architectural models, interface definitions, and support Trace verification from System to Element level requirements
Develop and deliver products (i.e., technical briefings, CNs) to support internal and MDA stakeholder reviews
Work in close coordination with the customer
