Project/Unit

Description

The Signals and Systems Division (SASD) in the Advanced Concepts and Technologies (ACT) Laboratory seeks qualified candidates for the position of Electronic Systems Architect (ESA) in Atlanta, GA.

ACT develops tailored solutions for a broad range of national security challenges through disciplined application of physics- and effects-based modeling to realizable systems, augmented with prototype development and testing. Domains include optical systems engineering research, lidar, sensing and seekers, photonic devices and microelectronics, mission engineering analysis with a focus on survivability, traditional and asymmetric threat analysis, and ground maneuver warfare.

Job Purpose

The Electronic Systems Architect designs, develops, and deploys integrated hardware, software, and total electronic system solutions for the organization. This position provides significant technical leadership in the organization through technical team leadership, leading design decisions on major programs, providing recommendations and implementation details about system modules including software, hardware technologies, and deployment requirements. The Electronic Systems Architect has the ability to independently implement or provide technical leadership to any portion of the design process.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop system architectures to deploy complex electronic systems
• Support all phases of program execution, but primarily invest time in the program design and implementation phases
• Perform comparative analysis to similar systems, assessing system strengths and weaknesses
• Research system theory and design concepts and implementation methods to help in determining system functionality, state of the art, and potential weaknesses
• Take ownership of moderate team development while mentoring others
• Author technical reports and presentations for projects of high complexity
• Compile report input from other researchers and prepare final report deliverables - Serve as the primary author of pertinent white papers and competitive proposals
• Provide technical vision to sponsors

Additional Responsibilities

• Identify new opportunities for research in system architecting
• Lead efforts for Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tasks, including descriptive system and mission modeling efforts using SysML
• Contribute to overall community’s knowledge through publishing, presenting, and participating in national societies and symposia
• Integrate with study planning, mission modeling, and data analysis functional teams
• Generate and document systems requirements and design implementations
• Develop skills and training as part of the greater GTRI workforce using professional development funding
• Contribute to the innovative, cutting-edge software research using Independent Research and Development (IRAD)
