About the role

The Safety & Security Capability Lead (Staff Systems Engineer – Level 5) 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.

Responsibilities

• Lead a small team of systems engineers to develop systems engineering artifacts across the Nuclear Surety, Physical Security, and System Safety capability threads for the Sentinel ground system
• Work with both technical teams and stakeholders to develop and mature allocation of multiple Technical Requirement Documents (NS, Safety) and standards (AFSPCMAN 91-710, AIAA S-113) through the full suite of Command Systems hardware and software products
• 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 activities including requirements definition / allocation, functional decomposition, interface definition, verification & validation, and requirements traceability across the ground segment of the Sentinel Weapon System

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) with 12 years of experience; or master’s degree with 10 years of experience; or PhD with 8 years of experience
• Active DoD Secret Clearance, at time of application, current and within scope, with an investigation date within the last 6 years
• Must have the ability to obtain Special Access Program (SAP) approval within a reasonable period, as determined by the company to meet its business needs
• 4 years of experience with requirements management/analysis/allocations
• 3 years of experience with Model-Based Engineering / Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBE/MBSE) practices, languages and/or tools such as Cameo, Rhapsody or MagicDraw
• 5 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)
