The candidate will provide Systems Engineering assistance that applies a broad theoretical and practical knowledge of system engineering to the acquisition process. The candidate will also provide engineering support in the design, operation, and sustainment of systems and components that cover tasks throughout the acquisition life cycle (requirements analysis through system disposal). This is a full-time position located at Hanscom Air Force Base, MA Essential Job Functions: • The selected candidate will provide systems engineering support across the acquisition lifecycle, supporting requirements development, architecture design, systems integration, verification and validation, technical management, and digital engineering efforts. The successful candidate will work closely with government and contractor teams to ensure systems meet operational requirements while supporting modernization initiatives across complex command and control environments.
• Provide systems engineering support throughout the acquisition lifecycle, including requirements analysis, design, development, integration, testing, deployment, sustainment, and operations.
• Conduct systems engineering reviews, technical assessments, and trade studies to evaluate system performance, cost, schedule, risk, and technical effectiveness.
• Support the development, maintenance, and management of system requirements, technical baselines, architectures, and interface documentation.
• Translate operational and user requirements into system and subsystem requirements using approved DoD and Air Force acquisition processes.
• Support architecture development and analysis, including traditional systems engineering methodologies, Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and digital engineering approaches.
• Assist with planning and execution of technical reviews, including System Requirements Reviews (SRR), Critical Design Reviews (CDR), Technology Readiness Assessments (TRA), and related engineering activities.
• Support risk management, configuration management, technical data management, requirements management, and interface management activities.
• Develop and maintain engineering documentation including Systems Engineering Plans (SEP), Risk Management Plans, Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), technical reports, and acquisition artifacts.
• Conduct engineering analyses supporting system interoperability, cloud deployment, virtualization, network architectures, and system integration efforts.
• Support proposal evaluations, market research, and technical assessments of contractor solutions.
• Participate in Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and provide technical recommendations to government leadership.
• Support engineering activities related to logistics, sustainment, reliability, maintainability, and lifecycle support planning. Required Skills: • Due to the sensitivity of the customer, U.S. citizenship is required.
• Must have and be able to maintain a Top-Secret level clearance
• BA/BS Degree in related discipline and 3 years of professional experience preferably in a DoD arena.
