About The Position

Peraton is seeking a Systems Engineer to manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems compatible with defined architecture frameworks. The role involves contributing to systems engineering documentation, assisting with requirement development and allocation, and coordinating the resolution of action items from various review meetings. The Systems Engineer will participate in Integrated Product Teams to design new capabilities, allocate process budgets, generate alternative system concepts, and define verification methods. This position also includes developing system design solutions, reviewing work breakdown structures, participating in interface definition, deriving lower-level requirements, and developing derived requirements for Information Assurance Services and Security Mechanism Technology.

Requirements

Ten (10) years experience as a SE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type and complexity is required.
Bachelor's degree in System Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required.
A current TS/SCI w/ Poly is required.

Nice To Haves

Five (5) years of additional SE experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
Experience in developing system performance, availability, scalability, manageability, and security requirements for mid-to-large scale systems.
Experience in developing technical documentation for issues and/or training.
Experience using agile and/or spiral development models.
Experience developing solutions integrating and extending COTS products.
Experience integrating COTS and GOTS products from multiple vendors.
Knowledge and experience with developing distributed storage routing and querying algorithms.
Experience implementing storage area networks, data warehouses and data marts.

Responsibilities

Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) - Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), etc.
Contribute to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
Assist with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components.
Coordinate the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination.
Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations.
Allocate real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components.
Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions.
Define the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan.
Develop system design solution that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis.
Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages and the integrated master plan (IMP).
Participate in the development of system engineering documentation, such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
Participate in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle.
Derive from the system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness.
Derive lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensure these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable.
Participate in establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers.
Develop derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Non repudiation, and Availability); Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability); and Security Mechanism Technology (Passwords, cryptography, discretionary access control, mandatory access control, hashing, key management, etc.).
