Senior Systems Engineer – TS​/SCI

As Senior Systems Engineer
, you will own the digital thread that turns brilliant ideas into flight‑ready capability for Major Release
—driving requirements, architecture, and model‑based systems engineering across hardware (
Nomad
), software (
Smith
), and operations (
Watch
).

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Coach mid‑level engineers on MBSE best practices, Agile/SAFe workflows, and Dev Sec Ops  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 C4
  
  ISR, avionics, or open‑architecture programs, including requirements management, architecture, and integration.
• Proficiency with SysML modeling tools (CAMEO/Magic Draw, 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.

• INCOSE CSEP/ESEP or DAU ENG/SAE Level III certification.
• Prior work on ABMS, CJADC2, or other open‑architecture airborne networking efforts.
• Familiarity with Dev Sec Ops  pipelines (Platform One/Iron Bank) and automated model validation (Model Center, Cameo Simulation Toolkit).
• Experience briefing SES / GO audiences and shaping acquisition strategy documents (AS, SEP, SEMP, TEMP).
