Five (5) years of additional SE experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree. * A Bachelor's degree in System Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Position requires active Security Clearance with appropriate Polygraph ## Description * We are looking for a Systems Engineer who analyzes user's requirements, concept of operations documents, and high level system architectures to develop system requirements specifications, analyzes system requirements and leads design and development activities and guides users in formulating requirements, advises alternative approaches, and conducts feasibility studies. You will provide technical leadership for the integration of requirements, design, and technology and incorporate new plans, designs and systems into ongoing operations as well as develop technical documentation. This is a part-time position at approximately 20 hours per month., * Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) - Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), etc. * Contribute to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents. * Assist with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components. * Coordinate the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination. * Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations. * Allocate real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components. * Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions. * Define the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan. * Develop system design solution that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis. * Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages and the integrated master plan (IMP). * Participate in the development of system engineering documentation, such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents. * Participate in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle. * Derive from the system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness. * Derive lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensure these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable. * Participate in establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers. * Develop derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Non repudiation, and Availability); Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability); and Security Mechanism Technology (Passwords, cryptography, discretionary access control, mandatory access control, hashing, key management, etc.). ## Related Videos - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [This Machine Ends Data Breaches](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/574-this-machine-ends-data-breaches) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Automated Driving - Why is it so hard to introduce](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/628-automated-driving-why-is-it-so-hard-to-introduce) - [SRE Methods In an Agency Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/348-sre-methods-in-an-agency-environment) - [Pragmatic Blockchain Design Patterns: Integrating Blockchain into Business Processes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1579-pragmatic-blockchain-design-patterns-integrating-blockchain-into-business-processes) ## Related Articles - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [What Jobs Can You Get with a Software Engineering Degree?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/398-what-jobs-can-you-get-with-a-software-engineering-degree) - [The Ultimate Software Engineer Career Path Guide for 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/146-the-ultimate-software-engineer-career-path-guide-for-2023) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
