Senior Systems Engineer - Must have an Active TS / SCI Clearance

Onsite

Bedford, MA

Full Time

Phalanx Griffon (PG) is the Air Force's flagship airborne node connecting warfighters to decision-quality data across the DAF BATTLE NETWORK . As Senior Systems Engineer , you will own the digital thread that turns brilliant ideas into flight-ready capability for Major Release 2 (FY 25 - 27)-driving requirements, architecture, and model-based systems engineering across hardware ( Nomad ), software ( Smith ), and operations ( Watch ).

Architect & Model the System-of-Systems

• Lead creation and upkeep of the government-owned SysML / CAMEO model, DoDAF views, and interface-control documents (ICDs) that capture Nomad-Smith-Watch interactions with the Digital Infrastructure (DI), SATCOM links, and cross-domain solutions.
• Ensure every requirement traces to a verification method and mission thread, supporting CJADC2 and Operational Imperative #2 objectives.

Requirements & Baseline Management

• Elicit, decompose, and manage stakeholder needs in DOORS-NG (or equivalent); chair requirements reviews, delta boards, and configuration-control boards.
• Maintain the Technical Baseline and drive change packages through digital workflows, preserving model / document synchronization.

Integration Leadership

• Partner with IPT leads to translate digital designs into Integration SIL builds; resolve cross-domain, crypto, power, and data-bus interface issues quickly.
• Feed lessons learned back into the model, ensuring the next sprint starts with an accurate baseline.

Verification & Validation Alignment

• Collaborate with Test & Flight-Test teams to develop the Verification Cross-Reference Matrix (VCRM) and ensure early "shift-left" validation of safety, cyber, and performance requirements.
• Provide pre-flight technical concurrence for Interim Authorizations To Test (IATTs) and air-worthiness packages.

Risk, Metrics & Reviews

• Maintain the technical risk register, conduct root-cause analyses, and brief burn-down plans to senior DAF leadership.
• Feed schedule, maturity, and performance metrics into the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) and digital dashboards.

Mentorship & Culture

• Coach mid-level engineers on MBSE best practices, Agile/SAFe workflows, and DevSecOps culture in a classified environment.
• Foster a collaborative, "model-first" mindset across Government and industry teammates.

Demonstrated experience leading multi-disciplinary design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and managing technical baselines in a digital-engineering environment.

Solid grasp of MIL-STD avionics power, data links (Link-16/22, TTNT, OMS/UCI), SATCOM, Type-1 crypto, and RMF / IA compliance.

Desired Skills:

INCOSE CSEP / ESEP or DAU ENG/SAE Level III certification.

Prior work on ABMS, CJADC2, or other open-architecture airborne networking efforts.
