Booz Allen Hamilton•Usa, MD

10d

About The Position

The Senior Systems Engineer supports U.S. Navy munition and energetic programs, providing technical leadership throughout the system development lifecycle to meet program technical objectives. The role applies systems engineering principles across all phases of the DoD 5000 acquisition process, from defining system requirements, interfaces, and Design Reference Missions (DRMs) through refining them during system design and development. The engineer participates in Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), develops and maintains systems engineering plans, Systems Engineering Technical Reviews (SETRs), certification efforts, and specialty engineering tasks. The position leads system-of-systems integration and addresses mission and capability planning, reliability and maintainability, human factors, and model-based systems engineering. It also supports system development and optimization through recommendations, risk assessment, and modeling and simulation. The role oversees integration and test activities, including developing test plans and reports, verifying and tracing requirements, witnessing tests, and maintaining verification accounting. The engineer produces technical documentation for technical and non-technical stakeholders, supports program artifacts, and manages configuration and risk throughout the program lifecycle. A Secret clearance and a bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics are required.

Requirements

12+ years of experience solving complex systems engineering problems using standard methodologies.
Experience supporting the design, development, and review of systems engineering design artifacts, including System Requirements Documents, Subsystem Requirements Documents, and Test Requirements Documents.
Experience with requirements analysis, interface design, system architecture development, systems hardware and software design, and system performance analysis.
Knowledge of the systems engineering lifecycle.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics.
Secret clearance required; selected applicants are subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for classified access.
