Position Description:
We are seeking a highly experienced and skilled Lead Systems Engineer/Technologist with a strong background in Systems Engineering as well as experience in Department of Defense (DoD) Weapon Systems Acquisition and Development. The successful candidate will have a minimum of 7-10 years of experience in systems engineering, with a focus on Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and proficiency in SE tools, processes, and methodologies. This role will be responsible for leading enterprise-level systems engineering activities, collaborating with internal and external stakeholders, and driving the development of complex systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the development and implementation of systems engineering strategies, architectures, and solutions for complex DoD weapon systems, leveraging AI/ML technologies and MBSE principles.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, program management, and operations, to ensure systems engineering activities are aligned with program goals and objectives.
- Develop and maintain technical roadmaps, system architectures, and technical requirements documents, ensuring compliance with DoD and industry standards.
- Apply MBSE principles and tools, such as SysML, UML, and DOORS, to design, develop, and integrate complex systems.
- Utilize SE tools, such as Dassault Systems, ANSYS, NoMagic, and Sparx Systems, to support systems engineering activities, including requirements management, design, and testing.
- Provide technical leadership and guidance to junior engineers and technicians, mentoring and coaching them in systems engineering principles, AI/ML technologies, and MBSE methodologies.
- Interact with internal and external stakeholders, including government agencies, contractors, and industry partners, to communicate technical information, provide status updates, and negotiate technical requirements.
- Develop and deliver technical presentations, reports, and briefings to senior leadership, program managers, and other stakeholders, both written and verbally.
- Stay current with emerging trends and technologies in AI/ML, MBSE, and systems engineering, applying this knowledge to improve systems engineering processes and solutions.
- Contribute to the development of enterprise-level systems engineering processes, procedures, and standards, ensuring compliance with industry and government regulations.
If you are a motivated and experienced systems engineer/technologist with a passion for AI/ML and DoD weapon systems acquisition, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
