Systems Engineer

Program Overview

Engineering modernization and integration practices to include Digital Engineering and Agile at Scale for all of NGA, NSG, and ASG.

About The Role

We are seeking an Expert Level Systems Engineer to employ a multi-discipline approach to requirements engineering, solutions engineering, reliability, resiliency, services development, research & development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis across CAP/SAP architectures to ensure timely and accurate GEOINT. Candidates will be required to sign additional NDAs for performance in the PMO programs.

Duties include:

• Develop and maintain System Engineering Plan (SEPs) and Contractor's System Engineering Management Plans (SEMPs) for the programs
• Develop and maintain standard acquisition documentation for S/CS portfolio including standardized requirements documentation and process (e.g. DOORS)
• Define repeatable processes and procedures for transforming new technologies and integrating new applications into S/CS infrastructure
• Participate in requirements development and documentation
• Create and maintain standards and specifications for S/CS programs and capabilities
• Prepare and review Request for Information (RFI) responses to identify innovative and new technologies to prototype and transition into the S/CS program
• Assist in the evaluation of proposed industry solutions including program reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.)
• Provide input to PMO strategic roadmaps and systems engineering products to help ensure program rigor, resolve potential gaps, drive cross-cutting integration, ensure data is protected appropriately, and ensure mission capabilities are met
• Provide baseline requirements (RFC) support to include the full breadth of the agency and mission partner requirements coordination meetings and initiatives to transition R&D capabilities to S/CS operations

Qualifications

Peraton offers enhanced benefits to employees working on this critical National Security program, which include heavily subsidized employee benefits coverage for you and your dependents, 25 days of PTO accrued annually up to a generous PTO cap and eligible to participate in an attractive bonus plan.

Required:

• Master's degree in Engineering and 18 years of experience or PhD in Engineering and 10 years of experience in related technical or scientific fields such as: engineering, physics, mathematics
• Demonstrated experience in integrating (SSA) applications including experience with compliance to Integrated Protection Strategy (IPS) controls
• Demonstrated experience with threats including SOSI, Radar and Optical sensors, Command and Control (C2), Battle Management Command, Control, and Communications (BMC3), orbital analysis, deep experience in Offensive Space Control/Defensive Space Control (OSC/DSC)
• Experience dealing with data and data sources that exist at multiple classification levels and integrate that data with computational processes that will generate additional data at multiple classification levels. Experience employing security controls to protect assets, missions, and data from multiple classification levels
• Demonstrated experience of space enterprise information needs (comprehensive, historical, and indexed appropriately for down-stream tools), including space object observations, historical behavior and the relevant context of that behavior
• Experience with space environment, and space to ground including threats to assets; track de-confliction and an understanding of collection threats against all operations will support some of the nation's most sensitive operations
• Experience with physics models to include the assessment of conservative/non-conservative forces, uncertainty/confidence estimation, space weather effects, break-up events, and conjunction analysis techniques that scale to many on many objects and can be dynamically tasked
• Experience with space object measurement and identification
• Understanding of model based systems engineering, processes, tools and languages
• TS/SCI clearance adjudication or ability to obtain SCI and pass a poly

Desired:

• Demonstrated experience with the following standards:
• ANSI/EIA 632: Processes for Engineering Systems
• IEEE 1220: Standard for Application and Management of Systems Engineering
• IEEE 24765: 2017 - Systems and Software Engineering - Vocabulary
• ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207: 2017 - Systems and Software Engineering - Software Life Cycle Processes
• ISO/IEC: 15288: Systems Engineering - System Life Cycle Processes
