System Engineer Level 2

Responsibilities:

• Ability to analyze user's requirements, concept of operations documents, and high-level system architectures to develop system requirements specifications as well as analyzing system requirements and leading design and development activities

• Ability to guide users in formulating requirements, advising alternative approaches, and conducting feasibility studies ultimately providing technical leadership for the integration of requirements, design, and technology

• Ability to incorporate new plans, designs and systems into ongoing operations as well as develop technical, system architecture, and system design documentation

• Ability to guide system development and implementation planning through assessment or preparation of system engineering management plans and system integration and test plans

• Ability to interact with the Government regarding Systems Engineering technical considerations and for associated problems, issues or conflicts as well as communicate with other program personnel, government overseers, and senior executives

Required Skills:

• US Citizens Only

• TS/SCI with Polygraph required

• Eight (8) years' experience as a SE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type and complexity is required. Bachelor's degree in System Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Four (4) years of additional SE experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree

• Experience contributing to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirement's specifications, and Interface Control Documents

• Experience managing system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) - Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), etc

• Experience assisting with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components

• Experience coordinating the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination

• Experience participating in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations

• Experience participating in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle

• Experience allocating real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components

• Experience deriving from the system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness

• Experience deriving lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensure these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable

• Experience generating alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions

• Experience establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers

• Experience defining the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan

• Experience developing system design solution that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis

• Experience developing derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Nonrepudiation, and Availability); Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability); and Security Mechanism Technology (Passwords, cryptography, discretionary access control, mandatory access control, hashing, key management, etc.)

• Experience reviewing and providing input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages and the integrated master plan (IMP)

• Experience providing technical direction for the development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of specific components of complex hardware/software systems to include requirements elicitation, analysis and functional allocation, conducting systems requirements reviews, developing concepts of operation and interface standards, developing system architectures, and performing technical/non-technical assessment and management as well as end-to-end flow analysis

• Experience implementing comprehensive SOA solutions

• Experience implementing operational view, technical standards view, and system and services view for architectures using applicable DoDAF standards

• Experience developing scenarios (threads) and an Operational Concept that describes the interactions between the system, the user, and the environment, that satisfies operational, support, maintenance, and disposal needs

• Experience reviewing and/or approving system engineering documentation to ensure that processes and specifications meet system needs and are accurate, comprehensive, and complete

• Experience conducting quantitative analysis in non-functional system performance areas like Reliability, Maintainability, Vulnerability, Survivability, Producibility, etc.)

• Experience establishing and following a formal procedure for coordinating system integration activities among multiple teams, ensuring complete coverage of all interfaces

• Experience capturing all interface designs in a common interface control format, and store interface data in a commonly accessible repository

• Experience preparing time-line analysis diagrams illustrating the flow of time-dependent functions

• Experiencing establishing a process to formally and proactively control and manage changes to requirements, consider impacts prior to commitment to change, gain stakeholder buy-in, eliminate ambiguity, ensure traceability to source requirements, and track and settle open actions

• Experience assessing each risk to the program and determining the probability of occurrence and quantified consequence of failure in accordance with an approved risk management plan

• Experience managing and ensuring the technical integrity of the system baseline over time, continually updating it as various changes are imposed on the system during the lifecycle from development through deployment and operations & maintenance

• In conjunction with system stakeholders, has experience planning the verifying efforts of new and unproven designs early in the development life cycle to ensure compliance with established requirements

• Experience supporting the planning and test analysis of the DoD Certification/Accreditation Process (as well as other Government Certification and Accreditation (C&A) processes)

• Experience supporting the development and review of Joint Capability Integration Development System (JCIDS) documents (i.e., Initial Capability Document, Capabilities Description Document, IA Strategy)
