What You'll Do

• Analyze system behavior and develop operational use cases.
• Decompose system requirements into clear and actionable lower-level requirements.
• Define and manage system interfaces.
• Determine how requirements will be verified and validated by the test organization.
• Support requirements, architecture, and system-design development.
• Provide systems engineering support for program test activities.
• Help define test processes, program baselines, and test architecture.
• Support regression testing across program baseline releases.
• Participate in technical reviews, engineering meetings, and technical interchange meetings.
• Collaborate with software, test, architecture, and program stakeholders in an Agile environment.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in systems, mechanical, aerospace, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
• At least five years of relevant professional experience.
• Experience across the systems engineering lifecycle, including one or more of the following:
  • Concept of Operations development
  • Requirements definition and management
  • Functional analysis
  • Interface definition and control
• Systems engineering experience supporting a government contract.
• Experience in a relevant mission domain, such as:
  • Mission-management ground systems
  • Space-based ISR platforms
  • Satellite ground systems
  • Command-and-control systems
• Understanding of Agile principles, roles, and systems engineering practices.
• Active and transferable U.S. government-issued TS/SCI clearance before starting.
• U.S. citizenship, as required for security-clearance eligibility.
• Ability to work onsite in Aurora, Colorado.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in an Agile development environment.
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, or similar development tools.
• Experience with model-based systems engineering and Cameo Systems Modeler.
• Requirements-management experience using DOORS or a comparable requirements database.
• Experience supporting system verification, validation, integration, or regression testing.
• Recent experience with classified space, ISR, or mission-management programs.

Why Consider This Opportunity?
