Senior Systems Engineer Active TS/SCI

Architect & 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.

• Active 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 ABMS, 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).
