  • Work directly with feature owners, other systems engineers, program managers, product owners, developers, testers and operations teams to define features and generate optimal system designs
  • Create system-level design artifacts with an ability to define and manage requirements in the context of these artifacts
  • Participate in design sessions with component SMEs and collaboratively work across the organization to define and implement the resulting designs
  • Lead development of as-built models and design documents for software components to ensure all documentation is current
  • Participate in design sessions with internal clients from back-end processing to user interfaces, with an emphasis on mission planning within the ground systems

  • Must be a U.S. citizen and be willing and able to obtain a U.S. Government Secret security clearance

  • Experience in innovation exercises such as design, development or integration activities, to determine optimal paths toward implementation of complex feature designs
  • Demonstrated design contribution to successful projects
  • Strong listening, written and oral communication skills
  • Strong sense of self-motivation is essential – must be strongly engaged in the details of the system design and operability

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Service Oriented Architecture experience is a plus
  • Software development experience is a plus

Individual pay will be competitive based on a candidate’s unique set of knowledge, skills, and geographic diversity, with earnings potential commensurate with experience. The range for this position is: $79,000.00 - $131,000.00 annually.
