Full Job Description
Description

Are you passionate about applying system engineering principles to influence the development and resilience of future strategic weapon systems?

Do you have system integration, system test, or digital engineering and analysis expertise that you want to employ in support of national defense strategic systems?

Are you motivated to work on multidisciplinary teams to address some of the strategic deterrent challenges facing the nation?

If so, we are looking for someone like you to join the System Realization and Resilience Group (KBR) within the Force Projection Sector. Our team is responsible for enabling the realization of strategic systems, ensuring resilience and specialty disciplines are integrated throughout system development, and supporting credible verification of strategic weapon systems. We lead efforts in systems engineering, system security engineering, test and integration, digital engineering, nuclear command and control, and reliability engineering. As a member of our team, you will provide systems engineering expertise to inform the technical direction of existing and future strategic weapons systems. We are passionate about making critical contributions to these critically important programs, and you will be a key part of our success. With your help, we will remain at the forefront of ensuring the credibility of our nation's strategic weapon systems.

As a Senior System Realization and Resilience Engineer...
  • Your primary responsibility will be to provide Systems Engineering expertise to guide the design, development, and evaluation of strategic weapon systems.
  • You will participate as a systems engineer on various projects, studies, and technical working groups focusing on requirements development, analysis, concept/technology development, acquisition, test planning and execution, system evaluation, and risk assessments across the program lifecycle.
  • You will employ system engineering methodologies and analyses such as model based systems engineering (MBSE) and digital engineering (DE) to enable the development of strategic weapon systems.
  • You will deliver formal presentations and reports to codify technical recommendations and solutions to sponsors and stakeholders, and effectively communicate proposed concepts/solutions and analysis results.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...
  • Have a Bachelor's degree in engineering, mathematics, physics or related technical field.
  • Have at least 7 years of systems engineering experience in the design, development, or evaluation of complex systems.
  • Have experience in developing system concept of operations (CONOPS), system requirements and analysis, system design and architecture, system verification and validation, or other relevant systems engineering activities
  • Have experience with system engineering management plans and other plans such as test plans, MBSE/DE implementation plans, or experience with formulating system engineering processes and technical performance metrics.
  • Have experience with systems engineering, MBSE, and DE tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, DOORS, Jira, and confluence; just to name a few.
  • Have demonstrated strong verbal and written communication skills, as well as strong critical thinking skills.
  • Have shown ability to interact effectively with and lead multidisciplinary teams, including industry and government sponsors.
  • Are willing and able to travel periodically, including short duration visits to sponsor offices at the Washington Navy Yard and to supporting contractor sites, as well as occasional travel to other military bases across the country.
  • Hold an active Secret security clearance and are able to get a Top Secret clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...
  • Have an advanced degree in engineering, mathematics, physics or related technical field.
  • Have at least 10 years of background in systems engineering focused on complex systems across the lifecycle.
  • Have demonstrated experience applying systems engineering strategies including MBSE and DE approaches to guide system design, development, and evaluation activities.
  • Have experience with supporting complex systems or system of systems efforts in the early program lifecycle phases.
  • Have experience with Navy Strategic Systems programs, and/or Air Force ICBM programs.
  • Hold an active Top Secret security clearance.
