Job Description:
Applies an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design, develop and verify complex lifecycle balanced system of systems and system solutions. Evaluates customer/operational needs to define and coordinate system performance requirements, integrate technical parameters and assure compatibility of all physical, functional and program interfaces. Performs various analyses to optimize total system of systems and/or system architecture. Performs analyses for affordability, safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, human systems integration, survivability, vulnerability, susceptibility, system security, regulatory, certification, product assurance and other specialties quality factors into a preferred configuration to ensure mission success. Develops, maintains and identifies improvements for the planning, organization, implementation and monitoring of requirements management processes, tools, risk, issues, opportunity management and technology readiness assessment processes. Resolves cross-functional technical issues.
This position will be responsible for helping drive the program systems engineering effort and be a key leader on the team tasked with owning overall system definition and functional design. Key aspects of this work include leading functional/behavioral decompositions, requirements, interfaces, CONOPS, and system parametrics, and then working across the program engineering teams to link them all together in the MBSE tool suite.
Position Responsibilities:
* Lead the development of system functions, requirements, architectures, and allocations to hardware, software, and personnel components in a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) context.
* Lead the coordination efforts between a range of engineering disciplines to define system functions and requirements related to system development and lifecycle engineering.
* Apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design, develop and verify complex lifecycle balanced system of systems and system solutions.
