## About the Role

The Senior Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization, which supports multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments. When the current program ends, the Senior Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the portfolio. A candidate with experience in other engineering areas such as Test, Model-Based Systems Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. However, a strong background in traditional systems engineering and technical leadership is what is required for this position., A Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university with 8+ years of experience or an MS with 6+ years.

 * Experience in deriving requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
 * Experience conducting system-level requirements analysis, functional analysis, and trade studies
 * Position requires candidates to be capable of performing in a collaborative engineering environment working closely with multi-disciplinary teams.
 * Capable of leading large, complex tasks that span across multiple technical areas
 * Demonstrated experience effectively communicating within a team environment, including leading and conducting Technical Design Reviews, as well as presenting to customers and management
 * Demonstrated experience accurately estimating the engineering effort (i.e. hours) associated with Systems Engineering tasks.
 * Resident of the North Alabama area or willing to relocate to the Huntsville - North Alabama, AL area.
 * Possess a secret clearance or have the ability to obtain a secret clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

Preference shown to candidates who possess a Master of Science in System Engineering from an ABET-accredited university, and/or have at least 6 years of direct systems engineering experience.

Preferred candidates will also have experience and/or working knowledge with:

 * MagicDraw and/or other Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) modeling tools.
 * DOORS and/or other requirements database tools.
 * Understanding of the DoD acquisition processes and methods.
 * Experience supporting DoD, NASA, or DARPA programs.
 * Experience working with sub-contractors/vendors
 * Familiarity with building an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) and task planning flows
 * Object Management Group (OMG) Certified System Modeler Professional (OCSMP) certification.
