About the role

The Communication Capability Lead Sr. Principal Systems Engineer (level 4) will lead activities including requirements definition / allocation, functional decomposition, interface definition, verification & validation, and requirements traceability across the ground segment of the Sentinel Weapon System. Specific duties include developing systems engineering artifacts in a model-based environment, developing system architecture, contributing to system requirements development, and developing unifying model techniques, procedures, and processes.

Responsibilities

• Lead a small team of systems engineers to develop systems engineering artifacts for the various communications networks across the Sentinel ground system in a model-based environment.
• Work with both technical teams and stakeholders to develop and mature architecture content of large programs design.
• Develop systems architecture using Cameo Enterprise Architecture (behavioral, structural, analytical).
• Contribute to system requirements development, management, and analysis.
• Develop unifying model techniques, procedures, and processes (for model development, tool integration, and team integration).
• Lead the development of requirements for the system and ensure they are properly represented in the model.
• Collaborate with various stakeholder communities to provide solutions and process improvements.
• Make recommendations for solutions/process improvement to leadership exhibiting strong written and verbal communication skills.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in STEM with 8 Years of related experience; 6 Years with Masters; 4 Years with PhD.
• U.S. Citizen with an active U.S. Government DoD Secret security clearance at time of application with an investigation completed within the last 6 years, current and within scope.

• 2+ years of experience with one or more of the following: Command & Control (C2), physical security, cybersecurity, Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) systems/processes, communications systems, facility design, military aerospace development (e.g. Sentinel, Minute Man III, B-2, B-21 delivery systems).

Qualifications

• Self-driven, able to tackle challenges, solve problems with minimal oversight and make recommendations for solutions/process improvement to leadership exhibiting strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated understanding of the Systems Engineering Vee Model.
• 3+ years of experience in model-based systems engineering; thread-based system decomposition, requirements engineering, system modeling in SysML.
• Experience in documenting Interface Control Documents, Interface Requirement Specifications, and Interface Description Documents.
• Understanding of Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Methodology and systems thinking.
• Excellent collaboration skills and experience working across product, design, and systems engineering teams with various stakeholder communities.
• Proven experience leading Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Cost (RAM-C) engineering efforts for distributed systems, including defining Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Level of Repair Analysis (LORA).
• Advanced expertise in Human Factors Engineering (HFE) compliance, specifically regarding user-interface design, workload modeling, and situational awareness for operators in launch control or command facilities.
• Direct experience authoring and enforcing Program Protection Plans (PPP), identifying Critical Program Information (CPI), and implementing anti-tamper and supply chain risk mitigations.
• Experience with ICBM weapon system engineering and integration.
• Experience with complex system development on large programs.
