Systems Engineer III, AI

• Analyze user requirements, concept of operations documents, and high-level system architectures to develop system requirements specifications.
• Lead system design and development activities and guide users in formulating requirements, evaluating alternative approaches, and conducting feasibility studies.
• Provide technical leadership for the integration of requirements, design, technology, and AI-enabled capabilities.
• Manage system and derived requirements to ensure production systems align with defined architectures, including DoDAF and service-oriented architecture.
• Develop and review systems engineering documentation, including Systems Engineering Plans, requirements specifications, Interface Control Documents, architecture documentation, and system integration and test plans.
• Provide technical direction for the development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of complex hardware and software systems.
• Develop system architectures, concepts of operation, interface standards, technical assessments, and end-to-end flow analyses.
• Establish and maintain requirements traceability, configuration control, risk management, verification, and validation processes.
• Coordinate system integration activities across multiple teams and resolve technical issues requiring cross-discipline collaboration.
• Evaluate system design alternatives based on performance, lifecycle cost, reuse, complexity, risk, scalability, and mission needs.
• Communicate technical considerations, risks, issues, and recommendations to Government stakeholders, program personnel, and senior leadership.
• Ensure the technical integrity and quality of systems engineering work products and deliverables.

Bachelor's degree in System Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or a related technical discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Twenty (20) years of experience as a System Engineer supporting programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required. Five (5) years of additional system engineering experience may be substituted in place of the degree.
