Systems Engineer 2

About the Role

GRVTY is seeking experienced Systems Engineers to help manage and expand the infrastructure across multiple environments supporting important missions for the government.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
• Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems compatible with defined system architecture(s) (e.g., Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA)).
• Assist with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components.
• Coordinate the resolution of action items from meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination.
• Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based on evaluation of development and operational considerations.
• Participate in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the lifecycle.
• Allocate real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components.
• Derive from system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness.
• Derive lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements, ensuring they are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable.
• Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions.
• Participate in establishing and gaining approval of system or component definitions under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.).
• Define methods, processes, and evaluation criteria for verifying systems, subsystems, and work products against their requirements in a written plan.
• Develop system design solutions that satisfy system requirements and fulfill functional analysis.
• Develop derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Nonrepudiation, Availability), Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability), and Security Mechanism Technology (e.g., passwords, cryptography, discretionary/mandatory access control, hashing, key management).
• Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages, and the integrated master plan (IMP).
• Provide technical direction for the development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of complex hardware/software systems, including requirements elicitation, analysis, functional allocation, system requirements reviews, and end-to-end flow analysis.
• Implement comprehensive SOA solutions.
• Implement operational view, technical standards view, and system/services view for architectures using applicable DoDAF standards.
• Develop scenarios (threads) and an Operational Concept describing interactions between the system, user, and environment to satisfy operational, support, maintenance, and disposal needs.
• Review and/or approve system engineering documentation to ensure processes and specifications meet system needs and are accurate, comprehensive, and complete.
• Conduct quantitative analysis in non-functional system performance areas (e.g., Reliability, Maintainability, Vulnerability, Survivability, Producibility).
• Establish and follow formal procedures for coordinating system integration activities among multiple teams, ensuring complete coverage of all interfaces.
• Capture all interface designs in a common interface control format and store interface data in a commonly accessible repository.
• Prepare time-line analysis diagrams illustrating the flow of time-dependent functions.
• Establish a process to formally and proactively control and manage changes to requirements, ensuring stakeholder buy-in, traceability, and impact assessment.
• Assess risks to the program, determining probability and quantified consequences of failure in accordance with an approved risk management plan.
• Manage and ensure the technical integrity of the system baseline over time, updating it as changes are imposed during the lifecycle from development through deployment and operations & maintenance.
• Plan verification efforts of new and unproven designs early in the development lifecycle to ensure compliance with established requirements.
• Support the planning and test analysis of the DoD Certification/Accreditation Process and other Government Certification and Accreditation (C&A) processes.
• Support the development and review of documents (e.g., Initial Capability Document, Capabilities Description Document, IA Strategy).

Requirements

• 14 years of experience as a Systems Engineer in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
• Bachelor’s degree in System Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, or a related discipline from an accredited college or university. Five years of additional SE experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
• Active TS/SCI with polygraph clearance.

Pay

Maryland Pay Range: $154,000—$184,000 USD.

Benefits

• Robust health plan including medical, dental, and vision.
• Health Savings Account with company contribution.
• Annual Paid Time Off and Paid Holidays.
• Paid Parental Leave.
• 401k with generous company match.
• Training and Development Opportunities.
