Requirements Own system requirements for a product, including requirement definition and maintenanceEnsure Key Performance Parameters, as derived through mission modeling and operational analysis, are properly flowed to system requirementsAct as key interface with either existing or prospective customers to prove customer requirements/needs are fully satisfied by system requirementsCoordinate key requirements with subsystem design teams; ensuring requirement flow-down to hardware and software subsystems is captured and properly traced
Architecture Collaborate with design engineering to establish the system architecture, capturing in MBSE diagrams (to include Structural and Behavioral Diagrams)Maintain architectural definition throughout the development process to ensure team alignmentDevelop interface control documentation and own interface management between hardware/software/firmware subsystems
Analysis Perform trade studies and quick-turn impact analyses to facilitate agile hardware/software/firmware developmentPerform analysis to prove system requirements are addressed by the system designEnsure best practices for configuration management are adhered toFacilitate multi-discipline coordination across teamsParticipate in IV&V planning and preparationContribute technical writing and figures to proposals and other business development efforts

Basic Qualifications:

BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace, or similar field
8+ years of industry experience, preferably with experience spanning the entire product lifecycle (Concept to Delivery)
Demonstrated experience establishing the technical baseline of a system/product
Experience working with Systems Engineering tools for Requirements Management and Product Lifecycle Management (e.g. JAMA, Polarion, DOORS)
Experience working with MBSE (e.g. SparxEA, Capella)
Experience with Python development or other similar object-oriented languages
Experience working with Git/GitHub, or similar version control systems
Ability to identify gaps, prioritize in the context of the project / program, and lead an effort involving multiple engineers from other teams to resolve issues

Preferred Skills and Experience:

Experience working with RF systems (e.g. radar, comms, EW, etc.), preferably including phased arrays
Good written and oral communication skills; not afraid to speak up, either to ask for help or disagree on a technical point that warrants more discussion
Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization
Ability to anticipate and communicate blockers, delays, and cost ballooning within the project before they require escalation
Eager to train team members and help them overcome obstacles, resolve blockers, and complete work tasks
Organized; comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
Focused, with perspective on what matters most, rapidly delivering customer value
