Staff Systems Engineer, Strategic Defense

The role

You will define architecture and capabilities for next generation integrated air and missile defense systems. This includes ensuring requirements traceability and translating operational needs from the Army and joint IAMD community into executable system architecture.

What you will do

• Interface with stakeholders including internal programs and external customers across the Army and joint IAMD community.
• Participate in concept generation and coordination to develop future architecture and capabilities.
• Develop artifacts based on stakeholder needs.
• Lead and develop requirements and architecture products with full traceability.
• Own architecture and interface definition for integrating fire-control capabilities across the IAMD kill chain.
• Define and manage System of Systems mission threads and interfaces across multi-sensor architectures.
• Integrate Army and joint sensor networks into fire-control-quality track pictures.
• Develop understanding of Anduril platforms through creation and maintenance of systems engineering artifacts.

Required qualifications

• Currently possesses and can maintain an active U.S. Top Secret/SCI security clearance
• B.S. in aerospace, mechanical, applied physics, computer science or similar engineering or technical field, or over 10 years of integrated air and missile defense experience.
• 12+ years Systems Engineering Experience across the life cycle.
• Demonstrated domain experience across the IAMD kill chain including sensors, battle management and C2, fire control, and effectors.
• Demonstrated System of Systems tracking and discrimination experience.
• Understanding of how sensor performance drives fire-control-quality track formation and engagement decisions.
• Working knowledge of how external cueing sources feed terrestrial sensor and fire-control chains.
• Understanding of Fire-Control systems and required safety, and hazard mitigation practices.
• Experience developing various model based system engineering artifacts.

Nice to have

• Experience with modeling of weapon systems, sensor and tracker performance, IAMD engagement sequences, and air and missile threat scenarios (EADSIM, AFSIM, or similar).
• Demonstrated experience leading System of Systems capability development of complex kill chains.
• Experience with test planning, execution, and data analysis for complex systems.
• Experience supporting Army and joint IAMD organizations such as Army SMDC, RCCTO, PEO Missiles and Space, the Air and Missile Defense Cross-Functional Team, MDA, or JIAMDO.
• Experience with space mission organizations (Space Systems Command, SSDP, SDA) a plus.
• Familiarity with joint data links and interoperability standards used across Army and joint IAMD.
• Experience with joint engagement coordination and composite tracking across Army and joint fire-control networks.
• Experience with discrimination and classification algorithm performance in ballistic and air-breathing threat environments.
• Proficiency with Mathworks products (MATLAB, SIMULINK etc.).

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full time offers.
• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
