Systems Engineer L5 Security Clearance

Jovian Concepts, LLC is looking to hire a Terrestrial SIGINT System Engineer Level 5 for a great opportunity in the Annapolis Junction, MD area. A current and active TS/SCI clearance with a MD Polygraph is required. No CCA's will be accepted at this time.

As a Terrestrial SIGINT Systems Engineer, you will support a customer terrestrial sensors team in tracking, monitoring and facilitating planning for the deployment, upgrade, and replacement of Terrestrial SIGINT collection and processing systems.

• Capture and document the requirements for the new and updated systems as well as coordinate and track the sensor projects from requirements, analysis of alternatives, sensor build‑out, deployment, and installation, testing and transition to operations.
• Participate in numerous meetings, working groups, and integrated product teams, product reviews, and status meetings to monitor the systems engineering plans, development, and deployment of space and ground processing systems.
• Work closely with government Systems Engineers to support the reengineering of the existing SIGINT ground architecture to facilitate the elimination of collection/processing stovepipes and replace the deprecated systems with collections/processing systems that support automation, dynamic tasking, multi-access cross‑cueing and orchestration.
• Produce system engineering and technical documentation, develop master schedules, and support validation and verification activities.
• Provide exercise support as needed to assist in the development and testing of new capabilities.
• Serve as liaison to critical personnel in monitoring the state of project development milestones.

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline and at least 15 years of systems engineering experience. A Master’s or PhD Degree may be substituted for two years of experience.
• Note:
  
  A High School Diploma or GED plus 19 years of systems engineering experience would also be acceptable.
• Knowledge of National SIGINT technologies, capabilities, their associated system architectural components (i.e. space systems, ground stations, ground processing systems), and knowledge of the national collection requirements prioritization system and associated processes is critical.
• Experience with SIGINT data flows and what is needed to get specific data sets to different SIGINT data bases.
• Strong Project Management Skills.
• An understanding of the policy constraints associated with the conduct of lawful SIGINT operations is also critical to success.
• Must have strong written and verbal communications skills.
• Position requires TS/SCI clearance with polygraph.

• The ideal candidate would be SIGINT Systems Subject Matter Expert. They should be familiar with the end‑to‑end system including tasking, collection management, collection operations, processing and dissemination components and processes.
• Ability to support re‑engineering efforts that focus on automation, multi‑access cross cueing, collaboration, and dynamic collection/processing orchestration.
• A familiarity with Overhead SIGINT systems collection management and architecture is useful, especially where they might employ best practices that may be suitable for adoption within the Terrestrial collection systems architecture.
• Experience providing exercise support in conjunction with system development and testing new concepts and equipment.
