System Realization and Resilience Engineer

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? Responsibilities 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 Have a Bachelor's degree in engineering, mathematics, physics or related technical field. Have at least 3 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 familiarity 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.
