Systems Engineer

The Systems Engineer oversees and coordinates the work of technical teams on systems projects, ensuring the successful design, implementation, operation, and technical management of those projects. Taking a holistic approach to systems engineering, the Systems Engineer ensures that all aspects of a system project are considered and addressed. The Systems Engineer works closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and then develops and documents technical requirements that meet those needs. The Systems Engineer leads the design team in developing a system architecture that meets all of the requirements. After the system is designed, the Systems Engineer oversees the implementation of the system, working with the implementation team to ensure that it meets all of the requirements. Once the system is deployed, the Systems Engineer manages the technical aspects of the system, including monitoring performance, troubleshooting problems, and making improvements. Key Responsibilities Conduct top-down functional analysis and translate requirements into detailed performance design criteria. Design and build templates to assist Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in providing critical system information. Conduct product or system design synthesis translating requirements into physical architectures for systems of low complexity to include defining and refining internal and external interfaces. Contribute to and develop technical reports and diagrams detailing product or system attributes. Additional Responsibilities Integrate new capabilities and subsystems into military systems, including the design of inter-software applications interfaces, inter-subsystem interfaces (e.g., data, interconnects), aircraft to subsystem integration, pilot vehicle interface, and test/instrumentation systems integration. Serve as a technical expert on assigned projects and systems including keeping up to date on use models, system capabilities, system interfaces, engineering tools, and road maps for current and future updates. Isolate hardware and software component anomalies. Analyze flight and laboratory data to ensure system requirements are satisfied. Ensure that all technical work is developed to meet military, safety, and security standards. Design and manage the laboratory configurations for assigned projects. Lead small cross-discipline project teams.

Experience designing/developing complex, software-intensive, military or avionics systems using system engineering processes and methodologies. Experience designing/developing software-based systems that integrate multiple subsystems, and/or integrate multiple software applications and hardware. Experience integrating and troubleshooting systems to determine functional correctness, completeness, and/or effectiveness. Experience leading small project development teams. Preferred Qualifications Active DoD Clearance Experience developing system design for Live, Virtual, Constructive aircraft training systems. Experience technically leading multi-disciplined (System Engineers, Software Engineers, Test Engineer) project teams. Experience processing and analyzing data using languages such as Python. Experience with avionic data buses (e.g., MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, Ethernet, RS-422, etc.) Experience working in a full-lifecycle agile and/or digital engineering environment. Experience supporting field tests to troubleshoot and solve problems.
