Save Job

s Senior Systems Engineer , you will own the digital thread that turns brilliant ideas into flight-ready capability for Major Release -driving requirements, architecture, and model-based systems engineering across hardware ( Nomad ), software ( Smith ), and operations ( Watch ).
ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:
rchitect & 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.
  • 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:
  • ctive TS/SCI clearance.
  • B.S. in Systems, Electrical, Aerospace, Computer Engineering-or related field (M.S. preferred) and 10 + years of systems engineering on DoD C4ISR, avionics, or open-architecture programs, including requirements management, architecture, and integration.
  • 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 BMS, 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).
