Job description

The Systems Engineer - Change Control manages electrical change requests from government contractors in support of Strategic Systems Programs (SSP). This role guides change requests from initial proposal through technical resolution and full implementation into controlled documentation, ensuring that interface requirements between subsystems are accurately captured and maintained. The position supports the Strategic Weapon System (SWS) community and working groups, focusing on understanding all SWS interface connections and assessing the impact of ongoing updates within TRIDENT II submarine programs. Occasional travel to off-site locations may be required. Responsibilities

  • Manage electrical change requests from government contractors from inception through resolution and implementation into SSP documentation artifacts.
  • Support the Electrical Coordination Team in ensuring subsystem interface requirements are correctly captured in SSP-controlled artifacts.
  • Ensure that interface requirements between different subsystems are properly documented so that both subsystems can integrate seamlessly during construction.
  • Support the Strategic Weapon System (SWS) community and working groups with the technical resolution of changes.
  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of all SWS interface connections and identify impacts to these interfaces based on evolving TRIDENT II submarine program updates.
  • Lead and drive documentation changes to completion, maintaining accuracy and consistency across all related artifacts.
  • Host and lead technical meetings with various internal and external representatives to discuss change requests and interface impacts.
  • Prepare, present, and defend technical information and change documentation confidently to customers and large groups of stakeholders, both virtually and in person.
  • Evaluate change requests, prepare change notices, and resolve comments and feedback related to those change notices.
  • Research and interpret SWS interface data requirements using available SSP documentation and translate findings into clear, actionable documentation updates.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure requirements are captured, tracked, and managed using appropriate documentation control systems and tools.
  • Use requirements management tools such as DOORS to support change control and documentation activities.
  • Adhere to deliverable deadlines and support schedule commitments associated with change management activities.
  • Produce clear, well-structured written documentation and maintain strong configuration and documentation control practices., CI/CD Aviation Equities Debugging Scripting DevSecOps Claude AI Leadership Management User Story Scalability Testability Market Data Claude Code Traceability Risk Analysis Ancient History Computer Science General Aviation Product Delivery Agile Methodology Software Solutions Workflow Management Customer Engagement Systems Engineering User Interface (UI) Air Traffic Control Regulatory Compliance Cloud-Native Computing Operational Efficiency Expectation Management Artificial Intelligence Regulatory Requirements Technical Documentation Agile Software Development Java (Programming Language) Scrum (Software Development) React.js (Javascript Library) Python (Programming Language) Federal Aviation Administration Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation +0
