About The Position

Arcarithm is seeking a Responsible Systems Engineer (RSE) for its System Design and Requirements Capability team in Huntsville, Alabama. The engineer will lead cross-functional systems engineering teams developing system-level technical solutions for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The role guides system-level architecture, requirements, and interfaces to influence incremental capability, using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to assess architectural impacts through functional behavior analysis across MDA mission areas and conventional and advanced threats. The RSE will collaborate in an MBSE environment to develop system-of-systems requirements through system and component trade studies and analysis. The engineer will lead 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 role also develops and delivers technical briefings, Change Notices, and other products for internal and MDA stakeholder reviews.

Requirements

Strong technical background in systems thinking, architecture development, functional decomposition, and allocation of performance, functional, and interface requirements using system-modeling tools.
Strong prior experience using MSOSA (Cameo) and DOORS.
Demonstrated knowledge in at least one MDA domain area, such as Aegis Weapons Systems, GMD, GPI, HBTSS, Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors, IBCS, SBI, NGI, OPIR systems, Cruise Missile Defense, or Air Defense.
Ability to think critically and capture concepts in papers, presentations, and discussions.
Good communication and presentation skills to communicate concepts and technical approaches to customers.
Ability to work independently, in a small team, and in close coordination with the customer.
Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in an engineering classification, mathematics, or physics.
Secret security clearance required.

Nice To Haves

Experience modeling or simulating missile defense applications or similar domains, such as air combat, air defense, intercept 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, or countermeasure threats.
Modeling and analysis experience with missile defense systems or components, including Aegis Weapons Systems, GMD, GPI, HBTSS, Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors, kill vehicles, interceptors, or countermeasures.
Modeling and analysis experience in air defense systems, including IRG-360, EX-BAR, ABADS, CBC2, or IBCS.
Systems engineering experience with large, complex systems.

Responsibilities

Lead cross-functional systems engineering teams to develop system-level technical solutions for the Missile Defense Agency.

Use MBSE to evaluate architectural impacts through functional behavior analysis for MDA mission areas and conventional and advanced threats.
Collaborate in the MBSE environment to develop system-of-systems requirements using 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.
