Systems Engineer

Responsibilities

• Manage system requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems are compatible with the defined system architecture(s).
• Contribute to the development of Systems Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
• Cook up the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews.
• Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities.
• Allocate real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components.
• Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions.
• Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages and the integrated master plan (IMP).
• Derive lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill.
• Develop derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Nonrepudiation, 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.).
• Implement comprehensive SOA solutions.
• Review and/or approve system engineering documentation.
• Capture all interface designs in a common interface control format and store interface data in a commonly accessible repository.
• In conjunction with system stakeholders, plan the verification efforts of new and unproven designs early in the development life cycle to ensure compliance with established requirements.
• Support the planning and test analysis of the DoD Certification/Accreditation Process (as well as other Government Certification and Accreditation (C&A) processes).
• Support the development and review of Joint Capability Integration Development System (JCIDS) documents (i.e., Initial Capability Document, Capabilities Description Document, IA Strategy).
• Provide technical direction for the development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of specific components of complex hardware/software systems.
• Conduct quantitative analysis in non-functional system performance areas like Reliability, Maintainability, Vulnerability, Survivability, and Producibility.
• Establish and follow a formal procedure for coordinating system integration activities among multiple teams, ensuring complete coverage of all interfaces.
• Develop system design alternatives that consider life cycle cost, reuse, complexity, risk, system expansion, and growth.
• Develop alternative courses of action; monitor and re-evaluate risks at appropriate milestones; and monitor risks using Earned Value Management (EVM) data.
• Improve standard integration strategies based upon rationale for previous decisions that resulted in improved integration performance.
• Fully define interfaces in terms of origination, destination, stimulus, and data characteristics for software, and electrical and mechanical characteristics for hardware.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience as a Systems Engineer.
• Bachelor’s degree in System Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or a related discipline from an accredited college or university; 5 years of additional systems engineering experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
• Exceptional integrity and a commitment to upholding MTSI's core values.
• Demonstrated experience in planning and leading Systems Engineering efforts.

Desired Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience in planning and leading Systems Engineering efforts related to software development and/or AWS cloud migration services.
