The purpose of this program is to support DIA's overarching mission of providing timely space intelligence to the warfighter through the Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TCPED) cycle. By leveraging a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach, this program will consolidate and integrate DIA's technical collection capabilities to optimize data flow, eliminate service overlaps, evolve with leading-edge capabilities, and realize cost efficiencies to provide strategic informational advantages to the Government.
This position will provide technical and project leadership of a systems engineering team supporting current collection sites and defining the next generation of SCS systems. This position supports Systems Engineering & Integration activities in a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Apply Model Based System Engineering to support development of the program technical baselines
Analyze system requirements that define the technical baseline and verification of the technical baseline
Work with Government and contractor personnel to close gaps in flow of customer requirements down through the system and component levels
Lead and supporting Government/Contractor Working Group meetings-by creating briefings, leading discussion, and writing minutes to resolve risks, requirement gaps, and action items
Review proposed changes to the technical baseline for impacts to capabilities and to cross-stakeholder integration concerns
Facilitate review of program documents by providing comments, compiling other reviewer comments, and working with contractor to adjudicate the comments
Serve as a subject matter expert to assess technical issues and to prepare briefings to U.S. Air Force management
Support management of risks, issues, interdependencies, identifying schedule disconnects and conflicts, developing action plans for resolution, and assisting the Government in executing selected solutions
Required Skills and Experience:
BS in engineering with specialization in Communications systems
10+ years' demonstrated experience with space or aeronautical systems engineering & integration programs and projects
10+ years' working in a collaborative team environment developing technical baseline/systems specification, verification or analysis using engineering applications and simulation models
Proficient in using Dynamic Object-Oriented Requirements System (DOORS)
Strong interpersonal skills, communication (oral and written), and presentation skills
Proficient in Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
Experience working with military or DoD civilian clients
The ability to work in a secure, confined location (i.e., SCIF)
US Citizenship and Required DoD Top Secret clearance and ability to obtain a DIA Special Compartmented Investigation (SCI)
Preferred Skills and Experience:
Advanced degree in Engineering
Systems engineering certifications, such as ESEP, CSEP, OCSMP
Experience in technologies of Electro-Optics, Radar, Infrared, Magnetic, Nuclear, and small form factor sensors
Experience with ground and airborne systems, such as terminals and networks
Compensation for California: Starting salary ranges from approximately $180,000 to $215,000, depending on relevant experience and qualifications.
