General Overview

Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management (C3BM) systems engineering efforts include engaging in Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) and Ballistic Missile Defense System Overhead Persistent Infra-Red Architecture (BOA)technical engineering and integration, future concepts, new functionality, and multi-national exchange designs. Systems engineering responsibilities include translating mission objectives into reference architectures, developing technical requirements in support of interface designs and participating in reviews/assessments of C2BMC/BOA engineering products. The ideal candidate will be responsible for design, development, integration and management of interfaces between systems, software, and hardware components, ensuring compliance with MDA/BC technical baselines.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Support definition and development of C2BMC/BOA system and subsystem interfaces using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and methodologies.
• Develop and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Interface Description Documents (IDDs), Interface Requirements Specifications (IRS), and related technical documentation.
• Use MBSE tools (e.g. Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architect, etc.) to model interfaces and system behaviors throughout the engineering lifecycle.
• Analyze operational, functional, and system-level requirements and architecture to drive interface specifications.
• Support integration and testing of C2BMC/BOA and MDS element's system interfaces in lab and operational environments.
• Collaborate with system engineers and developers to design and define C2BMC/BOA system interfaces (e.g. hardware and software).
• Participate in internal/external design reviews, technical interchange meetings, and interface control working groups.
• Support risk identification and mitigation related to interface design and interoperability.
• Support integration and interoperability product evaluations of C2BMC/BOA system based on future capabilities within MDA/BC builds through interface, requirements, product definitions.
• Ensure compliance with interface standards, protocols, and system interoperability requirements.
• Maintain interface configuration control and manage changes throughout the system lifecycle.
• Assist with risk assessment and mitigation strategies related to interface development and interoperability.
• Prepare technical assessments and reports for MDA/BC technical boards and working groups.
• Prepare official meeting minutes and track actions items to closure

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• Master's degree in STEM and 12+ years of experience required
• Active Secret clearance
• Knowledge of LINK-16, tactical data link networks, required
• Master of Science in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) required
• Familiarity with Department of Defense (DoD) standards (e.g. space, defense, etc.)
• Experience with integration tools and methodologies for modeling system interfaces
• Experience with modeling tools (e.g. Cameo Systems Modeler (CSM), Cameo Enterprise Architect, etc.) and integrating with other development tools
• Proficiency in systems engineering, network engineering, and lifecycle management processes
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within dynamic team environments
• Ability to apply network engineering and solutions to support real-world applications, test, integration, and operations

What Desired Skills You'll Bring:

• Self-starter with enthusiasm and capacity to learn in a fast-paced environment
• Work within a collaborative environment composed of Government, prime contractor, sub-contractor and supporting contractor personnel in a badge-less contractor environment
• Familiarity with Missile Defense Agency, Ballistic Missile Defense System, and/or C3BM Program Office work efforts
