Essential Job Functions

DCS has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Systems Engineer providing support to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center/PEO Digital Directorate (AFLCMC/HB), filling a full time position located at Hanscom Air Force Base, Bedford, Massachusetts
.

The candidate will provide Systems Engineering assistance that applies a broad theoretical and practical knowledge of system engineering to the acquisition process. candidate will also provide engineering support in the design, operation, and sustainment of systems and components that cover tasks throughout the acquisition life cycle (requirements analysis through system disposal).

Conduct reviews on program portfolio to evaluate and/or recommend alternative plans, improve systems engineering programs/processes, manage/sustain program technical baseline, and design/perform system level tests to assure that subsystems and system performance is achieved in accordance with approved specifications.

Perform program reviews to evaluate alternative proposed plans, systems engineering programs, design and test results to assure that subsystem and system performance is achieved in accordance with program specifications.

Prepare technical documents which define, specify, and recommend system/subsystem characteristics. Prepares management reports and conducts technical presentations for planning, implementation and corrective action using application of engineering economy principles.

Perform validation of systems, including development of criteria and procedures.

Analyze and/or evaluate results of major engineering systems.

Provide system/program engineering, technical support and technical training to support programs/initiatives, including but not limited to: acquisition, development, integration, sustainment, continued evolution, deployment/fielding and installation, and operations oversight.

Provide engineering support services and inputs to program and project risk management activities in compliance with AF SEAM processes.

Provide engineering support to conduct formal trade studies based on engineering performance, effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, life cycle cost, productivity, reliability, maintainability, risk, and schedule.

Provide technical recommendation support services, including reviews, studies, audits, evaluations and analyses, scientific and procedural guidance, documentation, technical analysis, and support of associated engineering IPTs.

Provide proposal analysis support services that compare and quantify proposed systems, components, approaches for technical feasibility, compatibility, and cost effectiveness.

Provide concepts and requirements analyses support services including, but not limited to, reviewing and analyzing.

Review and analyze system concepts and user requirements that have been approved and entered into a system requirements baseline (functional, allocated, and product).

Assist with material solution analysis, technology, engineering, and manufacturing development, production and deployment, and operation and support.

Support engineering technical and technical management processes associated with version/configuration control.

Requirements definition and analysis.

Architecture design, implementation, integration, verification, validation, transition, decision analysis, technical planning, technical assessment.

Requirements management, risk management, configuration management, technical data management, and interface management.

Assist with planning and execution of technical reviews and assessments (e.g. System Requirements Review, Technology Readiness Assessment), as well as associated documentation development (e.g. Systems Engineering Plan, Risk Management Plan) that are an inherent part of the activities and processes listed above.

Development of systems engineering documentation, an understanding of the linking interactions between systems of systems, configuration management, technical data packages and acquisition and sustainment engineering processes.

Support engineering technical and technical management processes associated with version/configuration control, to include: a) Requirements definition and analysis; b) Architecture design, implementation, integration, verification, validation, transition, decision analysis, technical planning, technical assessment; c) Requirements management, risk management, configuration management, technical data management, and interface management.
