• Technical leadership
• Establishing, refining, and documenting technical and Systems Engineering processes
• Develop and review Systems Engineering and Management Plans
• Develop system engineering work products (e.g., requirements, architecture, APIs, sequence diagrams, use cases, scenarios, test plans, metrics, decision tracking, risks)
• Work with Researchers and Technical Leads to identify Goals, Objectives, Success Criteria, Measures of Effectiveness (MoEs), Measures of Performance (MoPs), Key Performance Parameters (KPPs)
• Use Cases and Scenarios development, refinement and traceability to high level objectives and system requirements
• Develop and update System Architectures and Requirements
• Requirements management (develop, update, allocate, track implementation, control changes)
• Requirements verification and validation
• Mentor and train on Systems Engineering practices, processes and application
• Identify, track and assess technical risks and develop mitigations
• Configuration Management
• Project milestones and schedule reporting and maintenance
• Review contractor deliverables for requirements verification
• Develop, review and approve Test Plans
• Analyze test data and document metrics and close out reports
• Tech Transfer documentation development
• Interface and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) management (define, document, control)

Requirements:

• Ability to understand project needs, goals and objectives and translate them into a technical solution
• 5 years experience in Systems Engineering
