What You ll Do

• Understand and manage system and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of defined system architecture(s) compatible with production systems (DoDAF, SOA, etc.).
• Develop and upkeep sections of system engineering documentation such as system engineering plans, initial capabilities documents, requirement specifications and interface control documents. Define methods, processes, and evaluation criteria in a written plan.
• Assist and provide technical direction with the development of system and functional requirements while developing system design solutions that satisfy requirements and stakeholder needs; plan verification efforts of new and unproven designs early to ensure compliance.
• Coordinate procedures among multiple teams to design new capabilities based on evaluation of development and operational considerations; generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions while covering all interfaces.
• Allocate process and error budgets to systems and subsystem components and coordinate action items for meetings/review boards to present resolutions.
• Review and provide input into program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), packages and the integrated master plan (IMP).
• Establish and coordinate the approval process for the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures) to provide a common reference point for HW and SW developers.
• Implement operational, technical and system views for architectures using DoDAF standards and comprehensive SOA solutions.
• Review and/or approve system engineering documentation to ensure process and specifications meet requirements; assess risk to determine probability and consequence of failure.
• Capture interface designs in a common interface control format and store data in an accessible repository.
• Establish processes to control, manage, and track changes to requirements and actions, ensuring technical integrity of the system baseline over time; develop alternative actions for each risk.
• Support planning and test analysis of the DoD Certification/Accreditation Process.
• Support development and review of Joint Capability Integration Development System (JCIDS) documents.
• Provide technical direction for development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of all HW/SW components.
• Ensure effective periodic review and control of evolving system configurations; develop design alternatives considering life cycle cost, reuse, risk, expansion, and growth.
• Maintain knowledge of current and evolving standards applicable to system development and apply/use suitable standards.
• Contribute to Analyses of Alternatives (AoA) to recommend preferred solutions based on criteria, including reasonableness, technology limits, environmental impact, and life-cycle costs.
• Fully define interfaces and improve standard integration strategies; participate as a member of the Change Control Board (CCB).

• Clearance: TS/SCI level clearance with Full Scope Polygraph.
• Experience Level 1: 7 years as a System Engineer or similar; 5 years may be substituted in lieu of a Bachelor s degree.
