About The Position

Systems Engineers help drive the architecture, design, and modernization of mission applications. The role bridges high-level operational concepts and technical execution by analyzing user requirements, designing functional solutions, and generating systems engineering artifacts such as CONOPs, ICDs, and User Guides. The engineer collaborates with cross-functional development teams, subject matter experts, and stakeholders at all leadership levels to decompose requirements into actionable epics and user stories. The position provides systems engineering expertise across architecture, design, development, modernization, requirements analysis, data flow, testing, and implementation of mission applications. It requires 14 years of systems engineering experience on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity, and a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or five additional years of systems engineering experience in lieu of the degree. A TS//SCI with FSP clearance is required. The work schedule is five days per week, eight hours per day. The stated compensation range is $204,000–$225,000.

Requirements

Fourteen years of experience as a systems engineer in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.

TS//SCI with FSP security clearance.
Experience working with software deployment teams and subject matter experts.
Experience with agile methodologies and capturing system requirements and decomposing them into derived requirements, functional requirements, epics, use cases, user stories, and test cases.
Experience managing requirements to ensure delivery of products and systems compatible with system architectures.
Experience creating and/or editing technical documentation such as CONOPS, ICDs, test plans and results, user guides, and system diagrams.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to communicate with stakeholders at all levels of knowledge and leadership.
Ability to apply critical thinking to information and recommend appropriate actions.

Responsibilities

Provide systems engineering expertise in the architecture, design, development, modernization, requirements analysis, data flow, testing, and implementation of mission applications.
Analyze mission, user, and operational requirements, CONOPs, and high-level system architectures to develop system requirements specifications.
Design and implement solutions that address how functional needs are incorporated within the product suite.
Identify how capabilities can be integrated across new baselines.
Work with development teams in an agile framework to create epics, features, user stories, tests, and tickets.
Identify dependencies across requirements and customers for product development.
Use the Atlassian tool suite, including JIRA and Confluence, to track requirements.
Create and maintain systems engineering artifacts, including CONOPS, ICDs, test plans and results, user guides, and system diagrams.
