Join us and make a difference in National Security!

A Senior Systems Engineer is needed to join a high performing agile team using the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) methodology. Candidates must possess a high level of in‑depth expertise necessary to design and develop new capabilities for a complex system with exacting interface, performance, and security requirements. The selected individual will provide system engineering expertise in several of the following areas: architecture, design, development, requirements analysis, data flow, network design/implementation, testing, and documentation.

Responsibilities include supporting and providing guidance for system development and implementation planning through assessment of system engineering plans and system integration and test plans; supporting the development of system configuration documentation, including designs for capacity and performance planning; and performing engineering activities such as risk assessments and analyses of alternatives for a variety of system‑related issues and concerns. Responsibilities may also include helping to create test procedures and defining task success criteria.

• Provide guidance and support for system engineering of large‑scale systems, major system elements, and interfacing systems that are part of a large complex network environment with geographically distributed components.
• Provide technical guidance and support for future system enhancements and design.
• Update System Engineering Documentation.
• Provide Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) or similar evaluation methodologies.
• Interface with Program Management, System and Software Integration Engineers, Test Engineers, Information Assurance Engineers, and other project team members in an Agile environment.
• Develop and implement system engineering practices ensuring the proper degree of engineering rigor is applied to all assigned tasks.
• Communicate with and effectively collaborate with internal technical professionals on a day‑to‑day basis, and with representatives from customer organizations when necessary.
• Actively participate in program increment planning and related Agile team activities.
• Provide hands on technical assistance to engineering teams for data gathering and auditing purposes throughout multiple data centers.

• Bachelor’s degree in System Engineering, Engineering Science, Computer Science, or a related field, and at least 8 years of related experience, or a Master’s degree and at least 10 years of relevant experience. Additional relevant work experience may be substituted for a degree.
• Must have in‑depth experience in several of the following areas: system architecture, design and development, requirements analysis, data flow design/analysis, network design/implementation, testing, technical system documentation.
• Must have experience or strong familiarity with data centers and/or server rooms, to include the following:
  Rack based Servers, Network Switches, KVMs, Routers, Backup and Recovery devices, Firewalls, and security appliances.
• Must have at least 1‑3 years of experience with infrastructure components (Servers, Switches, Firewalls, and other Enterprise Infrastructure hardware).
• Must have at least 5 years of experience working on system architecture design, building, and integration.
• Must have at least 5 years of experience working on large complex system architectures.
• Must have requirements verification traceability experience.
• Must have experience analyzing user requirements, system architecture, and/or system requirements specifications.
• Must have experience in discovery, research and analysis for hardware and software transitions.
• Must have experience gathering information related to the lifecycle of equipment and software.
• Must possess a solid understanding of secure systems engineering and development.
• Must be comfortable working on multiple systems and components simultaneously in various configurations.
• Must be able to effectively plan and prioritize tasking and communicate clearly regarding technical options and trade‑offs.
• Must be capable of performing systems…
