The Opportunity: 

• Invent Your Future providing mission-critical cyber support and solutions. 

• CACI is looking for talented Systems Engineers (SE) with experience in Hardware Engineering in/around the Fort Meade, Maryland area.

• You’ll use your Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) experience to support the customer's strategy for advancing national defense goals and objectives.

Responsibilities: 

• Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) – Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), etc.

• Assist with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components.

• Coordinate the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination.

• Participate in Integrated Product Teams to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations.

• Allocate real-time process and error budgets to systems and subsystem components.

• Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions.

• Define the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan.

• Develop system design solutions that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis.

• Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structures, work packages, and the integrated master plan.

• Participate in the development of system engineering documentation, such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents.

• Participate in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle

• Derive an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred, and implied as essential to system effectiveness from system requirements.

• Derive lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensure these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable.

• Participate in establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers.

• Develop derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Nonrepudiation, and Availability); Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability); and Security Mechanism Technology (Passwords, cryptography, discretionary access control, access control, hashing, key management, etc.).
