Full Job Description
Staff Systems Engineer. The selected candidate will fill an upcoming position upon task being awarded. This opportunity supports the Department of War (DoW) in their efforts to identify and defeat hard deeply buried targets (HDBT). This position requires a strong technical foundation in analysis of alternatives (AoA) and systems engineering process management. Liaison between manufacturing, testing and operational organizations of integrating technology into end-to-end WMD/HDBT programs; assist with transition strategies through Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). Strong ability to work collaboratively across multi-disciplinary government, military and contractor teams.
What You'll Do
Support analysis of alternatives (AoA) and trade-off analysis to inform design decisions, requirements development, and program risk management.
Conduct vulnerability analysis and exploitation assessments, applying conventional weapons effects models to evaluate system performance and survivability across a range of operational scenarios.
Develop and maintain the Systems Engineering (SE) process framework and master schedule, ensuring alignment with program milestones, deliverables, and government customer expectations.
Perform gap analyses to identify deficiencies in current modeling and simulation capabilities, tools, and methodologies, and propose actionable solutions to close identified gaps.
Assess predictive capabilities of design limits and margins, providing data-driven recommendations to support engineering decisions and risk mitigation strategies.
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's degree in systems engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering or STEM related field with 8 or more years of experience
An Active Top Secret / SCI security clearance (or be eligible at time of application for SCI)
Proven experience conducting vulnerability analysis, AoA, gap analysis, and trade-off studies within a DoD or government contracting framework
Proficiency in uncertainty quantification and statistical analysis methodologies applied to complex engineering systems
Ability to develop and manage SE master schedules and technical baselines in compliance with DoW standards (e.g., MIL-STD, DoDAF)
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to produce and present technical deliverables to government stakeholders
Ways to Stand Out
Familiarity with JMEM, AMSAA, or other weapons effectiveness and lethality modeling frameworks used within the DoW community.
Autonomous Systems experience
Experience with digital engineering tools and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) platforms such as Cameo, DOORS, or equivalent
Prior experience supporting OSD, DARPA, ARL, or service-level acquisition programs
INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) or equivalent professional certification
Experience with conventional weapons effects models and associated simulation toolsets used in national defense environments
