Auria Space
Auria is looking to hire a
Senior Systems Engineer
to support the Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program. This role is
ON-SITE
and is based in
Colorado Springs, CO , or
Huntsville, AL . It is essential in supporting the U.S. President, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO DO The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is a vital part of the Missile Defense System. It provides a critical operational platform that allows the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and tactical levels to systematically plan missile defense operations, monitor battle progress, and actively control networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC offers a layered missile defense capability, providing an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It functions as a force multiplier by connecting, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations both worldwide and locally to improve overall performance. Additionally, C2BMC is a key component of all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate the missile defense system's current and future capabilities.
The Interface Engineer will lead the development of
ICDs
and
IDDs . This includes establishing new interfaces between external components, such as sensors, and other Command and Control Systems. The engineer will ensure that the ICDs and IDDs meet the program's required standards. Additionally, they are expected to develop various behavioral diagrams to understand and document the requirements. The engineer will create detailed requirements in
DOORS
to communicate with the implementation teams clearly. This position will be assigned to the C2BMC Systems Engineering Team within SEIT. The Interface Engineer is a Systems Engineer and may also be called upon to support non-interface systems engineering activities.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
Will have significant experience in authoring ICDs and IDDs that are DID‑compliant and to DoD Standards
Must be able to function as part of an experienced team in developing systems engineering products and artifacts while adhering to the program Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) and other processes
Will develop and update multiple Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs)
Will attend interface working group meetings with MDA customers and representatives of the assigned external element engineering organization, as well as support program integration and test‑related efforts for the associated interface
May also be assigned to provide support:
Other interface engineers involved in developing ICDs for additional BMDS Elements
Support requirements engineering
Developed Use Cases
Perform logical architecture modeling tasks as required by the SE department
Will support spiral leadership to ensure interface artifacts and system assessment tasks required for the assigned sensor interface are completed when needed
REQUIREMENTS
Mission‑Driven Professional: Collaborative contributor motivated by the opportunity to develop cutting‑edge solutions that protect and serve both the nation and the world.
Must possess an understanding of the systems engineering process and its principles
Should have a proven track record of successfully applying system engineering principles to develop product solutions
Must have experience in requirements elicitation, including the use of behavior diagrams as an analysis tool to understand and decompose requirements
Requirements engineering and development of behavioral models and diagrams are required, including:
Use cases
Sequence diagrams
Activity diagrams
Excellent communication skills, both written and oral, are a must
Bachelor’s Degree in
STEM
Science, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field from an accredited university is preferred, along with 8 years of experience; or a Master’s degree (preferred) in a
STEM
related field with 6 years of relevant work experience; or a PhD in a related field with 4 years of relevant work experience
Applicants must have a current, active in‑scope DoD‑issued
Secret
security clearance at the time of application, which is required to start
Willingness and ability to travel up to 10% to support business needs
Demonstrated Systems Engineering expertise with interface engineering, including creating Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs), among other responsibilities:
Message definition and processing rules
Message formatting (e.g.,
XML, VMF , et al)
Physical/network specifications and models, to include the
ISO OSI model
Physical/network topologies and devices
Network protocols (e.g.,
TCP/IP, UDP , etc.) are a must
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Master's Degree
in Systems Engineering
Certification:
INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) Certification
Certification:
Object Management Group Certified Systems Modeling Professional - Model Builder Fundamental (OCSMP - MBF)
Experience with authoring Missile Defense System (MDS) ICDs and IDDs is highly desirable
Experience in authoring Complex Command and Control Systems ICDs and IDDs is highly desirable
Requirements engineering, including experience with IBM Rationale's Dynamic Object‑Oriented Requirements System (DOORS), is highly desirable
Risk Management Framework (RMF)‑based cybersecurity and familiarity with Agile or Iterative Development Methods are a plus
PAY TRANSPARENCY The salary offered will be based on the selected candidate's qualifications - skills, education & experience - and the position level.
$121,000 - $133,000
APPLICATION DEADLINE The deadline to apply is October 31, 2025.
