Systems Engineer (Senior or Principal)

Position Responsibilities

Depending on your assignment, you will contribute across mission assessment, architecture, requirements, Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE), integration, and test – often with direct collaboration across Boeing, industry partners, and government stakeholders.

Systems Architecture, Requirements, and Interfaces

• Define and evolve the MDA/C2BMC system architecture
• Develop and maintain requirements and architecture artifacts (including interface definitions) to support missile defense capabilities
• Run and support architecture and requirements trade studies to recommend options that improve mission performance, cost/schedule, and technical feasibility
• Own and improve the requirements management engine: planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring of requirements processes and tools (including traceability, change control, and quality)
• Lead program-level risks/issues/opportunities tracking and technology readiness assessments as they relate to architecture and requirements decisions
• Collaborate frequently with MDA, warfighters, and industry partners to align requirements, interfaces, and system priorities
• Lead cross-functional teams in developing products and interacting with government customers

Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation

• Plan and execute integration and checkout work – define tasks, schedule them, assign work, monitor completion, and keep the integration plan moving
• Evaluate results from integration/checkout activities and determine whether they meet checkout requirements so the team can proceed to the next stage
• Define and drive the overall integration and test (I&T) strategy (processes, tools, and metrics) to ensure we verify requirements effectively and consistently
• Execute and document integration and test events, including capturing results, issues, and evidence needed for verification
• Partner with integration/test SMEs to solve complex system problems spanning process, tools, regulations, and system-specific issues
• Identify and implement tool/process improvements that reduce friction and increase throughput (automation, reporting, repeatable workflows)
• Lead cross-functional teams in developing products and interacting with government customers

Modeling and Simulation

• Evaluate system performance across realistic scenarios and architectures to provide mission insight used by MDA and warfighters
• Build and maintain analysis tools across multiple levels of fidelity, including modeling and simulation that predicts performance against evolving threats
• Perform system and performance trade studies (mission effectiveness, architecture comparisons, “what-if” analyses) to inform technical decisions
• Develop and improve modeling approaches to ensure results are credible, repeatable, and decision-useful (assumptions, data handling, validation/verification of models)
• Use modeling, simulation, and quantitative methods to provide technical leadership and recommendations in assigned focus areas

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience)

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
• 12 or more years' related engineering experience
• Prior experience in system engineering (e.g. Systems, Design, Architecture, Integration, Requirements or Test)
• Leadership experience to include but not limited to engineering leadership roles and/or leading work and driving teams to success

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience)

• Level 6: 18 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience

Systems Architecture, Requirements, and Interfaces

• Experience with missile-defense mission context, especially command & control, battle management, and communications
• Requirements analysis & verification experience
• Requirements and architecture development for complex systems/system-of-systems experience
• Experience using MBSE / requirements tools such as Cameo, DOORS, or similar
• Experience leading architecture / requirements trade studies

Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation

• Experience supporting/driving integration and test, including executing and documenting test events
• Experience developing/tailoring I&T processes, tools, and metrics
• Experience evaluating results against requirements (verification evidence/artifacts)
• Experience working across multiple stakeholders/teams, especially MDA-like environments
• Scripting/programming for test/tool support (Python, MATLAB, Java, or similar)

Modeling and Simulation

• Experience performing system/performance analysis or trade studies (e.g., operational/feasibility analysis, MOEs/TPMs)
• Experience developing/using modeling and simulation tools to predict performance
• Experience with modeling missile-defense or related engagement domains
• Scripting/programming for analysis tools (Python, MATLAB, Java, or similar)
• Ability to communicate results clearly to support decisions with technical and nontechnical stakeholders

Pay

• Summary pay range (Senior): $164,900 - $223,100
• Summary pay range (Principal): $197,200 - $266,800

Schedule

• 100% onsite (no hybrid or remote options) at Huntsville, AL
• 1st shift
• Travel may be required; domestically and/or internationally depending on business needs

Benefits

• Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities
• Health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts
• Retirement savings plans with Boeing 401(k): dollar-for-dollar match up to 10% of eligible pay with immediate 100% vesting
• Student Loan Match: qualified student loan debt payments counted toward company match determination
• Life and disability insurance programs
• Paid and unpaid time away from work programs
