Job Description:

The System Engineering & Integration Team (SE&IT) is seeking a Responsible Systems Engineer (RSE) to join the System Design and Requirements Capability team in Huntsville, AL. The successful candidate will lead cross-functional system engineering teams to develop system level technical solutions for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The candidate will guide the development of system level architecture, requirements, and interfaces to influence incremental capability. The candidate will use Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to evaluate architectural impacts through functional behavior analysis for the defeat of conventional and advanced Threat (i.e., ballistic, aero-maneuvering, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.) systems within the MDA mission areas. The RSE will use the MBSE environment collaborate to develop system-of-systems requirements via system/component trade studies and analysis and lead the development of Change Notices (CNs) to MDA's system specification including functional, interface and performance requirements, architectural models, interface definitions, and support Trace verification from System to Element level requirements. The RSE will develop and deliver products (i.e., technical briefings, CNs) to support internal and MDA stakeholder reviews.

Required Qualifications

The Responsible Systems Engineer must demonstrate a strong technical background in system thinking, architecture development, functional decomposition, and allocation of requirements (performance, functional and interface definition) with system-modelling tools. Candidate must have strong prior experience with use of MSOSA (Cameo) and DOORS and demonstrated knowledge in any of the MDA domain areas, including Aegis Weapons Systems, Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF), IAMD (Integrated Air and Missile Defense) Battle Command System (IBCS), Space-Based Interceptor (SBI), Next-Generation Interceptor (NGI), Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) systems, Cruise Missile Defense, Air Defense. The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to think critically and capture concepts in papers, presentations, and discussions. The individual must possess good communication/presentation skills to communicate concepts and technical approach to customer. The candidate must be capable of working independently, within a small team environment, and work in close coordination with the customer.

Desired Qualifications

Demonstrated experience modeling or simulating missile defense applications or similar domains (air combat, air defense, intercept of ballistic targets, intercept of non-ballistic targets, space vehicles, sub-orbital mechanics, etc.). Knowledge of ballistic and advanced threat systems (i.e., aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.). Modeling and analysis experience in aspects of the missile defense system (e.g., Aegis Weapons Systems, Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF), kill vehicles, interceptors, countermeasures), Air Defense (IRG-360, EX-BAR, Air Base Air Defense System (ABADS), Cloud Based Command and Control (CBC2), IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS)). Systems engineering experience with large, complex systems.

Education

Degree in an engineering classification, mathematics or physics: Bachelor's, Master's or PhD.
