Systems Engineer Level 2 - (TBSE2-000-621)
Country Intelligence Group is seeking a full-time Systems Engineer Level 2 to support our client at Fort Meade, MD. The candidate will provide advanced systems engineering support for complex Department of Defense (DoD) systems across the full lifecycle, from requirements development through deployment and sustainment. This role involves implementing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions, supporting DoDAF-based architecture modeling, managing technical baselines, and ensuring compliance with government certification and accreditation processes. The ideal candidate will have deep experience applying systems engineering principles across ISO/IEC 15288 process areas, including requirements analysis, architecture development, verification, integration, and configuration management. Candidates should possess strong analytical, communication, and coordination skills to engage with senior stakeholders, technical teams, and government oversight bodies.
Tasks Performed:
• Implement comprehensive SOA solutions.
• Implement operational view, technical standards view, and system and services view for architectures using applicable DoDAF standards.
• Review and/or approve system engineering documentation to ensure that processes and specifications meet system needs and are accurate, comprehensive, and complete.
• Capture all interface designs in a common interface control format and store interface data in a commonly accessible repository.
• Assess each risk to the program and determine the probability of occurrence and quantified consequence of failure in accordance with an approved risk management plan.
• In conjunction with system stakeholders, plan the verification efforts of new and unproven designs early in the development life cycle to ensure compliance with established requirements.
• Prepare time-line analysis diagrams illustrating the flow of time-dependent functions.
• Establish a process to formally and proactively control and manage changes to requirements, consider impacts prior to commitment to change, gain stakeholder buy-in, eliminate ambiguity, ensure traceability to source requirements, and track and settle open actions.
• Manage and ensure the technical integrity of the system baseline over time, continually updating it as various changes are imposed on the system during the lifecycle from development through deployment and operations & maintenance.
• Support the planning and test analysis of the DoD Certification/Accreditation Process (as well as other Government Certification and Accreditation (C&A) processes).
• Support the development and review of Joint Capability Integration Development System (JCIDS) documents (i.e., Initial Capability Document, Capabilities Description Document, IA Strategy).
• Provide technical direction for the development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of specific components of complex hardware/software systems to include requirements elicitation, analysis and functional allocation, conducting systems requirements reviews, developing concepts of operation and interface standards, developing system architectures, and performing technical/non-technical assessment and management as well as end-to-end flow analysis.
• Develop scenarios (threads) and an Operational Concept that describes the interactions between the system, the user, and the environment, that satisfies operational, support, maintenance, and disposal needs.
• Conduct quantitative analysis in non-functional system performance areas like Reliability, Maintainability, Vulnerability, Survivability, Produceability, etc.).
• Establish and follow a formal procedure for coordinating system integration activities among multiple teams, ensuring complete coverage of all interfaces.
Education, Experience and Qualifications:
• Minimum High School Diploma/GED with at least 19 years of relevant experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in system engineering, computer science, information systems, engineering science, or engineering management with at least 14 years of relevant experience.
• Experience applying systems engineering principles throughout the systems life cycle phases.
• Experience interacting with the Government regarding Systems Engineering technical considerations and for associated problems, issues or conflicts.
• Experience communicating with other program personnel, government governance bodies, and senior executives.
• Experience providing technical integrity, quality, and completeness of work performed and deliverables associated with one or more of the process areas defined by ISO/IEC15288:
-Technical Process Area: Stakeholder Requirements Definition, Requirements Analysis, Architectural Design, Implementation, Integration, Verification, Transition, Validation, Operation, Maintenance, Disposal.
-Project Process Area: Project Planning, Project Assessment and Control, Decision Management, Risk Management, Configuration Management, Information Management, Measurement.
-Enterprise (Organizational Project-Enabling) Process Area: Project Portfolio Management, Infrastructure Management, Lifecycle Model Management, Human Resource Management, Quality Management.
-Agreement Process Area: Acquisition and Supply.
• Microsoft Office suite of tools.
• Ability to work on several products concurrently while managing competing deadlines.
• Jira
• Confluence, SharePoint, or similar
Other Job Requirements:
• Minimum Active Top Secret/SCI security clearance with a Full Scope Polygraph.
• U.S. Citizenship, and successful background check.
• Location: Fort Meade, MD
Salary Range & Benefits:
• $175,235/Year
