Systems Engineer (Jr)

Archarithms Inc•Huntsville, AL

About The Position

Arcarithm is seeking a junior Systems Engineer to join the System Design and Requirements Capability team within its System Engineering & Integration Team in Huntsville, Alabama. The role supports cross-functional teams developing system-level architecture and requirements to influence Missile Defense Agency (MDA) incremental capability. The engineer will use Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) for architectural impact evaluation through functional and behavioral analysis of systems addressing conventional and advanced threats in MDA mission areas. Working in an MBSE environment, the Systems Engineer will help develop system-of-systems requirements through system and component trade studies and analysis. The role also leads development of Change Notices to MDA system specifications, including functional, interface, and performance requirements, architectural models, interface definitions, and trace verification from system to element-level requirements. The engineer will develop and deliver technical products, such as briefings and Change Notices, for internal and MDA stakeholder reviews, working closely with the customer.

Requirements

Required Secret security clearance.
Technical background in architecture development, functional decomposition, and/or allocation of performance, functional, and interface requirements using system-modeling tools.
Prior experience using MSOSA (Cameo), DOORS, and/or demonstrated knowledge in an MDA domain area.
Ability to think critically and communicate concepts in papers, presentations, and discussions.
Good communication and presentation skills.
Ability to work independently and within a small team.
Bachelor's, master's, or PhD degree in an engineering classification, mathematics, or physics.

Nice To Haves

Experience modeling architectures or simulating missile defense applications or similar domains, such as air combat, air defense, interception of ballistic or non-ballistic targets, space vehicles, or sub-orbital mechanics.
Knowledge of ballistic and advanced threat systems, including aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, and countermeasures.
Modeling and analysis experience involving missile defense systems, including Aegis Weapons Systems, GMD, GPI, HBTSS, Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF), kill vehicles, interceptors, countermeasures, Air Defense systems, RIG-360, EXBAR, ABADS, CBC2, or IBCS.
Systems engineering experience with large, complex systems.
Experience with Atlassian tools such as JIRA and Confluence.

Responsibilities

Support cross-functional teams in developing system-level architecture and requirements for MDA incremental capability.
Use MBSE to evaluate architectural impacts through functional and behavioral analysis.
Collaborate in an MBSE environment to develop system-of-systems requirements through system and component trade studies and analysis.
Lead development of Change Notices to MDA system specifications, including functional, interface, and performance requirements, architectural models, and interface definitions.
Support trace verification from system-level to element-level requirements.
Develop and deliver technical products, including briefings and Change Notices, for internal and MDA stakeholder reviews.
Coordinate closely with the customer.
