Systems Engineer - Design and Development - Fire Control Hardware

General Dynamics Mission Systems is seeking an Advanced Systems Engineer to support the D5LE2 program within the SWC Fire Control engineering organization. This role applies systems engineering fundamentals across the full system life cycle for mission-critical fire control subsystems supporting the U.S. Navy's strategic deterrent.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, or Mathematics field, plus a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree, plus a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience.
• Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required at time of hire. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
• U.S. citizenship is required due to the nature of work performed within our facilities.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will apply systems engineering fundamentals across the full system life cycle, contributing to the design, analysis, and verification of mission-critical fire control subsystems.

• Apply systems engineering fundamentals to perform requirements analysis, definition, and management, functional analysis, performance analysis, system design, trade studies, integration, and test (verification) for D5LE2 subsystems.
• Utilize MBSE tools (Cameo/MagicDraw, DOORS) to develop, maintain, and communicate system architectures and models in support of upcoming D5LE2 program milestones.
• Apply critical thinking to identify, analyze, and resolve system design weaknesses with increasing independence.
• Perform interface definition studies of system components and products.
• Research and analyze vendor products, COTS components, GFE/CFE, specifications, and manuals to determine feasibility of design or application.
• Design complete and complex frameworks, systems, or products within assigned subsystem scope.
• Generate technical engineering products using appropriate standards, processes, procedures, and tools.
• Develop system security documentation on both new and fielded information systems; support system accreditation/certification evaluation.
• Perform technical planning, cost and risk analyses, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for subsystems and system elements.
• Drive the achievement of business objectives within assigned scope.
• Support Modeling and Simulation activities in alignment with D5LE2 program objectives.
• Identify opportunities to apply AI for continuous improvement and innovation.

Skills

• Proficient understanding and application of systems engineering principles, concepts, and theories in a safety-critical defense program environment.
• Proficient use of tools for managing requirements (DOORS) and modeling systems (Cameo/MagicDraw or equivalent).
• Developing proficiency with MBSE methodologies and digital engineering concepts; familiarity with architectural patterns (SysML).
• Proficient written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly report information relevant to sound systems engineering design.
• Familiarity with hardware development, such as electrical and networking systems, equipment racks, servers, cabling, and user interfaces.
• Proficient ability to effectively use Microsoft Office tools for various tasks.
• Ability to grasp and apply new information quickly and handle complex assignments efficiently.
• Awareness of business objectives and the role of engineering in achieving these goals.
• Skilled in communicating issues, impacts, and corrective actions effectively.
• Understanding of safety and surety principles in the context of strategic weapons systems.

Benefits

• Competitive benefits, including 401k matching, flex time off, paid parental leave, healthcare benefits, health & wellness programs, employee resource and social groups.
• Flexible schedules with every other Friday off work, if desired (9/80 schedule).
• An exciting career path with opportunities for continuous learning and development.
• Research-oriented work alongside award-winning teams developing practical solutions for national security.
