Senior Systems Engineer CONOPS Lead

As a Systems Engineer, you will be using your skills and expertise to research, architect, model, simulate, test, certify and improve cutting edge products and services.

Youll be developing complex system architectures within contextual modeling platforms, ushering them from operational concept through preliminary and detailed design, simulation, and test using progressive tools.

As a cross-functional engineer, you are in charge of system-level ownership of new products and processes through the product lifecycle.

Must-haves: Bachelors of Science degree in Engineering, Physics or related discipline and typically 10 or more years of relevant experience.

Desire for new challenges, to be on the ground floor of an exciting capability for our nation, and to be part of the initial cadre developing a new multi-domain system.

Willingness to work on a small team performing complex engineering design evaluations for a diverse mission where everyone’s input matters.

Experience working on multi-disciplinary design and development teams.

Thorough understanding of systems engineering principles to include requirements analysis, development and design, integration, and Verification and Validation (V&V).

Experience developing Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) from broad capability statements for all phases of the mission and accounting for all factors needed to support the mission (i.e., doctrine, organization, training, leadership, materiel, personnel, facilities, and resources).

Experience developing conceptual views of the system (i.e., a preliminary functional flow block diagram or operational architecture) and deriving critical, top-level, performance requirements or objectives stated either qualitatively or quantitatively (including system rationale for these objectives).

Demonstrated knowledge of aerospace mission operations as well as logistics and sustainment operations in support of the mission and ability to logically derive system and support system capabilities to achieve mission capability.
