Systems Planning & Analysis
Overview Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc. (SPA) delivers high‑impact, technical solutions to complex national security issues. With over 50 years of business expertise and consistent growth, we are known for continuous innovation for our government customers in the United States and abroad. Our exceptionally talented team is highly collaborative, producing results that matter and contributing to a clear‑sighted mission commitment.
The Integrated Warfare Systems Group (IWSG) comprises more than 100 staff that provide program and project management, systems and digital engineering, software, test & evaluation, product support, cybersecurity, international/Foreign Military Sales, strategic communications, and IT support to more than 100 Navy programs and projects. IWSG serves the Navy’s Program Executive Office for Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS) and supports customers at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Office of Naval Research, Missile Defense Agency, and the Navy’s Team Submarine Office.
Responsibilities We are seeking a dedicated Systems Engineer to support the Space Systems Development Department (SSDD), the primary space and ground support systems research and development (R&D) organization of the Naval Center for Space Technology (NCST), an organization within the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC. The role involves advanced research and development for scientific, technical, and engineering efforts associated with the development and integration of C4ISR systems. This full‑time onsite position will be based at the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC, with hiring scheduled for late 2025.
Qualifications
BS Degree in Mathematics, Engineering, or Computer Science.
DoD granted TOP SECRET security clearance with SCI eligibility.
Minimum relevant experience of fifteen (15) years.
Desired
Experience in the systems engineering sciences of satellite and communications systems, system development and integration, and Multi‑INT data production and fusion, with a primary focus assessing and demonstrating the effectiveness of new concepts and ideas for systems in achieving particular mission goals, formulating overall design concepts, developing criteria to establish the baseline for advancement of state‑of‑the‑art engineering efforts, and reviewing and assessing overall progress in the development effort phases, resolving technical challenges that can occur due to dynamic changes in characteristics, approach, criteria, and requirements, and integrating stakeholder requirements and multiple design approaches while addressing overall program risk, cost, and schedule constraints.
Demonstrated ability to plan, organize, and execute mission‑related advanced system planning for assigned missions or program areas.
Demonstrated experience conducting continuous analysis of present and future capabilities for assigned areas; establishing requirements, ground rules, and assumptions for future programs; and initiating changes to achieve objectives of programs. Includes generating and planning new concepts, methods, and techniques which can provide a significant technical advantage, operational impact, or breakthrough in the assigned area; advising and justifying the best feasible approach to be taken for each solution proposed; and formulating and recommending specific work requirements, priorities, and resource allocations necessary to accomplish long‑range plans for the assigned area.
Demonstrated ability developing system flow‑down requirements specifying top‑level system requirements and their flow‑down relationships with individual subsystems, utilizing broad knowledge of specialties within the engineering discipline to assure system integrity by establishing compatibility between equipment, other subsystems, and components.
Demonstrated experience providing overall leadership and direction of pioneering innovative Research and Development (R&D) efforts to address previously unattainable capabilities and characteristics.
