We are seeking a Systems Engineer II to support our client in Colorado Springs, CO. Please see below to find the job description and desired qualifications;
Perform a disciplined system engineering approach to the definition, development, and analysis of the integration of external elements capability with C2BMC. This includes performing playback of data from launch events into C2BMC and performing analysis of the system performance and cueing of BMDS sensors. Contribute toward the development of future capabilities such as track processing, sensor management, tasking, cueing, discrimination, BMDS architecture maturation. Participate in developing, executing, and analyzing the results of various tests of the prototype in a lab environment as needed. Non-standard work hours are highly likely during event execution and a small amount of travel may be required.
Responsibilities
- The Systems Engineer must have 1+ years of experience leading or contributing to an integrated team environment with other systems, software, and specialty engineers to develop solutions that include a background in all aspects of the systems engineering life cycle.
- The Systems Engineer should have demonstrated experience in systems-of-systems definition, development, and integration. The Systems Engineer should have demonstrated the ability to analyze high level needs and defined a structured and logical approach to refine the capability into an integrated set of requirements that led to a fielded product.
- The Systems Engineer should have demonstrated the ability to communicate effectively, clearly present technical approaches and findings, and have experience in writing and implementing engineering plans within a project. Ideally, the Systems Engineer will have experience in working on IRAD-type projects.
Qualifications
- Full cycle systems engineering of new capabilities
- Capability and requirement derivation based on customer needs
- Use case, system requirements, performance specification development, and UML modeling
- System interface design & Interface Control Document development
- Excellent communication skills (written and oral)
- Operations Concept (OPSCON) & Concept of Operations (CONOPS) development
- System and subsystem decomposition
- Integration practices and methods
- Analysis tool development using MATLAB, Excel, S-Code, Satellite Toolkit (STK), etc.
- Operating systems experience with Windows & Unix/Linux
- Algorithm design and implementation
- DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF)
- Theory and application of the BMDS
- Theory and application of command and control systems
- Theory and application of track correlation algorithms
- Probability theory and optimal state estimation
- Familiarity with the application and use of systems engineering tools for requirements management
- Coding skills a plus (Java, C++, and shell scripts)
- Using the Agile methodology for software development
Including the assessment on how the prototype system performs using state vectors, integrating source tracks into the prototype and assessing track processing results, generating and assessing concurrent radar and sensor tracks during M&S and live flight test events, and enhancing experimental prototypes based on results of these activities. The Systems Engineer will apply these results to identify and work to enhance system for future operations. The Systems Engineer must possess an understanding of systems engineering processes and principles and be able to communicate the desired capabilities to a diverse group of developers, engineers, subject matter experts, and system users. The Systems Engineer should be comfortable with rapidly changing requirements, design challenges that require novel solutions, fast-paced activities, and tight deadlines. The following knowledge base and/or skills are desired for the Systems Engineer:
Education
- BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related subject preferred
- Minimum Active SECRET Clearance Required
