As a Systems Engineer, you will:

 

• Analyze user requirements and develop system requirements specifications.
• Develop Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), system architectures, and systems engineering documentation.
• Lead systems engineering, design, integration, and implementation activities throughout the system lifecycle.
• Guide customers in defining requirements, evaluating alternatives, and conducting feasibility studies.
• Serve as the primary technical lead for integrating requirements, design, and emerging technologies.
• Develop System Engineering Management Plans (SEMPs), system integration plans, and test plans.
• Collaborate with Government leadership to resolve technical issues, engineering risks, and system challenges.
• Communicate technical recommendations and project status to government customers, program leadership, and senior executives.
• Conduct system trade studies to optimize performance, scalability, reliability, and lifecycle costs.
• Develop and evaluate architecture views using DoDAF standards, including Operational, Systems, Services, and Technical Views.
• Utilize modeling, simulation, and prototyping to reduce risk and improve system design decisions.
• Manage system configuration throughout the system lifecycle and participate in Configuration Control Boards (CCB) and Engineering Review Boards (ERB).
• Identify technical risks, develop mitigation strategies, and recommend courses of action throughout program execution.
• Support Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) efforts by evaluating technical solutions based on cost, risk, performance, lifecycle considerations, and mission objectives.
• Provide technical leadership for requirements analysis, architecture development, system integration, interface design, testing, and end-to-end systems engineering activities.
