As Senior Systems Engineer, you will own the digital thread that turns brilliant ideas into flight ready capability for Major Release driving requirements, architecture, and model based systems engineering across hardware ( Nomad), software ( Smith), and operations ( Watch). ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS: Architect & Model, the System of Systems:
Lead creation and upkeep of the government owned SysML/CAMEO model, DoDAF views, and interface control documents (ICDs) that capture Nomad Smith Watch interactions with the Digital Infrastructure (DI), SATCOM links, and cross domain solutions.
Ensure every requirement traces to a verification method and mission thread, supporting CJADC2 and Operational Imperative #2 objectives.
Requirements & Baseline Management:
Elicit, decompose, and manage stakeholder needs in DOORS NG (or equivalent); chair requirements reviews, delta boards, and configuration control boards.
Maintain the Technical Baseline and drive change packages through digital workflows, preserving model/document synchronization.
Integration Leadership:
Partner with IPT leads to translate digital designs into Integration SIL builds; resolve cross domain, crypto, power, and data bus interface issues quickly.
Feed lessons learned back into the model, ensuring the next sprint starts with an accurate baseline.
Verification & Validation Alignment:
Collaborate with Test & Flight Test teams to develop the Verification Cross Reference Matrix (VCRM) and ensure early "shift left validation of safety, cyber, and performance requirements.
Provide pre flight technical concurrence for Interim Authorizations To Test (IATTs) and air worthiness packages.
Risk, Metrics & Reviews:
Maintain the technical risk register, conduct root cause analyses, and brief burn down plans to senior DAF leadership.
Feed schedule, maturity, and performance metrics into the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) and digital dashboards.
Mentorship & Culture:
Coach mid level engineers on MBSE best practices, Agile/SAFe workflows, and DevSecOps culture in a classified environment.
Foster a collaborative, "model first mindset across Government and industry teammates.
Required Skills:
Active TS/SCI clearance.
B.S. in Systems, Electrical, Aerospace, Computer Engineering or related field (M.S. preferred) and 10 + years of systems engineering on DoD C4ISR, avionics, or open architecture programs, including requirements management, architecture, and integration.
Proficiency with SysML modeling tools (CAMEO/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, or equivalent) and requirements databases (DOORS, Jama).
Demonstrated experience leading multi disciplinary design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and managing technical baselines in a digital engineering environment.
Solid grasp of MIL STD avionics power, data links (Link 16/22, TTNT, OMS/UCI), SATCOM, Type 1 crypto, and RMF / IA compliance.
Desired Skills:
INCOSE CSEP/ESEP or DAU ENG/SAE Level III certification.
Prior work on ABMS, CJADC2, or other open architecture airborne networking efforts.
Familiarity with DevSecOps pipelines (Platform One/Iron Bank) and automated model validation (ModelCenter, Cameo Simulation Toolkit).
Experience briefing SES / GO audiences and shaping acquisition strategy documents (AS, SEP, SEMP, TEMP).
