Staff Systems Engineer, Strategic Defense

The role

You will define architecture and capabilities for next generation integrated air and missile defense systems. This includes integrating space control and space-based missile warning missions. You will translate operational needs into executable system architecture.

What you will do

• Interface with internal programs and external customers across joint IAMD and space mission communities.
• 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.
• Create and maintain systems engineering artifacts to demonstrate platform value.

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 (sensors, battle management and C2, fire control, and effectors) with systems such as IBCS, Patriot, LTAMDS, THAAD, Aegis, Sentinel, or C2BMC.
• Working knowledge of space control and space-based missile warning and tracking missions.
• Understanding of Fire-Control systems and required safety, and hazard mitigation practices.
• Experience developing various model based system engineering artifacts (Operational Viewpoints, System Viewpoints, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, BDDs, IBDs, parametric diagrams, etc...)

Nice to have

• Experience with modeling of weapon systems, IAMD engagement sequences, and air and missile threat scenarios.
• 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 IAMD or space mission organizations such as USSPACECOM, Space Systems Command, SSDP, SDA, SMDC, Army RCCTO, Navy IWS, or AFLCMC.
• Familiarity with joint data links and interoperability standards (Link 16, JREAP, IBCS IFCN, OMS/UCI).
• Experience with joint engagement coordination and cross-domain kill-chain integration.
• Proficiency with Mathworks products (MATLAB, SIMULINK etc.).

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants
• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• Must currently possess and be able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret/SCI security clearance
• Consent to pre-employment risk, integrity, and due diligence screening
