Systems Engineer

Leidos•Huntsville, AL
•$69,550 - $125,725•Hybrid

About The Position

Leidos’ Defense Systems is seeking a Systems Engineer to join a team of systems engineers developing hypersonic missile systems. In this role, the Systems Engineer will use Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML to develop requirements specifications, system architecture content (bdd / ibd), and system behavioral content (act / stm). This position does not necessarily require an MBSE Subject Matter Expert, but the role does minimally require experience working independently on MBSE models, some model customization, and the ability to communicate with non-Systems Engineering stakeholders who are less familiar with MBSE approaches. The Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization, which supports multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments. When the current program ends, the Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the portfolio. A candidate with experience in other engineering areas such as Test, Model-Based Systems Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. Success in this organization often leads to leadership positions in Model-Based Systems Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT).

Requirements

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university with 3+ years of experience or an MS with 1+ years.
  • Experience using MagicDraw, Cameo Systems Modeler and/or other Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) modeling tools.
  • Experience in deriving requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
  • Capable of performing in a collaborative engineering environment working closely with multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Demonstrated experience effectively communicating within a team environment.
  • Resident of the North Alabama area or willing to relocate to the Huntsville - North Alabama, AL area.
  • Possess a secret clearance or have the ability to obtain a secret clearance.

Nice To Haves

  • Master of Science in System Engineering from an ABET-accredited university.
  • At least 3 years of direct systems engineering experience.
  • Experience in other engineering areas such as Test, Model-Based Systems Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis.
  • Demonstrated experience effectively leading a team of engineers.
  • DOORS and/or other requirements database tools.
  • Understanding of the DoD acquisition processes and methods.
  • Experience supporting DoD, NASA, or DARPA programs.
  • Demonstrated experience accurately estimating the engineering effort (i.e. hours) associated with Systems Engineering tasks.
  • Object Management Group (OMG) Certified System Modeler Professional (OCSMP) certification.
  • INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification (ASEP or CSEP).

Responsibilities

  • Develop requirements specifications using Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML.
  • Develop system architecture content (bdd / ibd) using Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML.
  • Develop system behavioral content (act / stm) using Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML.
  • Work independently on MBSE models.
  • Perform model customization.
  • Communicate with non-Systems Engineering stakeholders.
  • Support multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments.
  • Transition to support different programs in the portfolio when the current program ends.
