DCS Corp
Join to apply for the
Systems Engineer (Journeyman)
role at
DCS Corp Phalanx Griffon (PG) is the Air Force’s flagship airborne node connecting warfighters to decision-quality data across the
DAF BATTLE NETWORK . As
Journeyman Systems Engineer , you will own the digital thread that turns brilliant ideas into flight-ready capability for
Major Release 2 (FY 25 – 27) —driving requirements, architecture, and model-based systems engineering across hardware ( Nomad ), software ( Smith ), and operations ( Watch ). Essential Job Functions Architect & Model the System-of-Systems : Lead creation and upkeep of the government-owned SysML / CAMEO model, DoDAF views, and interface-control documents (ICDs) that capture Nomad-Smith-Watch interactions with the Digital Infrastructure (DI), SATCOM links, and cross-domain solutions. Required to input requirements into CAMEO. Ensure every requirement traces to a verification method and mission thread, supporting CJADC2 and Operational Imperative #2 objectives. Requirements & Baseline Management : Elicit, decompose, and manage stakeholder needs in DOORS-NG (or equivalent); chair requirements reviews, delta boards, and configuration-control boards. Maintain the Technical Baseline and drive change packages through digital workflows, preserving model / document synchronization. Integration Leadership : Partner with IPT leads to translate digital designs into Integration SIL builds; resolve cross-domain, crypto, power, and data-bus interface issues quickly. Feed lessons learned back into the model, ensuring the next sprint starts with an accurate baseline. Verification & Validation Alignment : Collaborate with Test & Flight-Test teams to develop the Verification Cross-Reference Matrix (VCRM) and ensure early “shift-left” validation of safety, cyber, and performance requirements. Provide pre-flight technical concurrence for Interim Authorizations To Test (IATTs) and air-worthiness packages. Risk, Metrics & Reviews : Maintain the technical risk register, conduct root-cause analyses, and brief burn-down plans to senior DAF leadership. Feed schedule, maturity, and performance metrics into the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) and digital dashboards. Mentorship & Culture : Coach mid-level engineers on MBSE best practices, Agile/SAFe workflows, and DevSecOps culture in a classified environment. Foster a collaborative, “model-first” mindset across Government and industry teammates. Required Skills Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required. A High School Diploma plus 15 years of directly related experience with proper certifications as described in the Functionally Aligned Job Descriptions,
5 of which must be in the DoD
or a BA/BS plus 10 years of experience in the respective technical/professional discipline being performed,
3 of which must be in the DoD . Active TS/SCI
clearance. MBSE Experience : Proficiency with
SysML modeling tools (CAMEO/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, or equivalent)
and requirements databases (DOORS, Jama). Demonstrated experience leading multi-disciplinary design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and managing technical baselines in a digital-engineering environment. Solid grasp of MIL-STD avionics power, data links (Link-16/22, TTNT, OMS/UCI), SATCOM, Type-1 crypto, and RMF / IA compliance. Desired Skills INCOSE CSEP / ESEP
or DAU ENG/SAE Level III certification. Prior work on
ABMS, CJADC2, or other open-architecture airborne networking
efforts. Familiarity with DevSecOps pipelines (Platform One / Iron Bank) and automated model validation (ModelCenter, Cameo Simulation Toolkit). Experience briefing SES / GO audiences and shaping acquisition strategy documents (AS, SEP, SEMP, TEMP).
