## Description

Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control is seeking a full time Early-Career Systems Architect (SA) in Grand Prairie, TX. In this role, you will develop a system architecture using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) techniques, develop models for current and future missile system designs, develop system and system element architectures, designs, and interface definitions while supporting necessary internal and external design reviews, and serve as the focal point for the development and communication of the system architecture for the various stakeholders including both internal and external customers. The successful candidate will perform system architecture design using SysML based tools, perform system functionality definition including system states and modes, define system design for software requirements/functional interfaces and mission planning features, and synthesize design characteristics into an implementable system architecture.

Additional activities include:

 * Working with requirements management team to ensure accuracy of the subsystem element model within the overall system model and linking with the subsystem requirements.

 * Coordination with the team for modelling and simulation scenarios, and predicted performance.

 * Supporting system timelines and working with software and hardware teams.

 * Documentation of system design and implementation for various use case scenarios.

 * Conducting model based performance simulations to determine the impact of requirements changes on system performance/behaviors.

This position requires ability to obtain a DoD Secret clearance, therefore, U.S. citizenship is required.

Performs technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems. Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.
