About the role

We are seeking a SE-2 to lead the Technical Technology Office (TTO) and System Engineering efforts. This role is part of a small team of software engineers working on a system that directly supports mission-customer needs.

Responsibilities

• Analyzes user's requirements, concept of operations documents, and high-level system architectures to develop system requirements specifications.
• Ledesigns and develops activities, guides users in formulating requirements, advises alternative approaches, and conducts feasibility studies.
• Guides system development and implementation planning through assessment or preparation of system engineering management plans and system integration and test plans.
• Interacts with the Government regarding Systems Engineering technical considerations and for associated problems, issues or conflicts.
• Ensures the technical integrity of work performed and deliverables associated with the Systems Engineering area of responsibility.
• Communicates with other program personnel, government overseers, and senior executives.

Requirements

• TS/SCI with agency appropriate polygraph.
• Fourteen (14) years' experience as a SE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
• Bachelor's degree in systems engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or related discipline from an accredited college or university.
• Additional SE experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.

Qualifications

• Capable of contributing to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation.
• Manages system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s).
• Coordinates the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination.
• Participates in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations.
• Participates in the development of system engineering documentation, such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
• Participates in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle.
• Allocates real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components.
• Derives from the system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness.
• Derives lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensures these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable.
• Generates alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions.
• Establishes and gains approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers.
• Defines the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan.
• Develops system design solution that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis.
• Derives from the system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness.
• Develops derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Non-repudiation, and Availability); Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability); and Security Mechanism Technology (Passwords, cryptography, discretionary access control, mandatory access control, hashing, key management, etc.).
• Reviews and provides input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages and the integrated master plan (IMP).

Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Experience with systems engineering methodologies and practices.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.
• Knowledge of DoDAF, SOA, and other relevant architectural frameworks.
