Job Purpose

The Systems Engineer oversees and coordinates the work of technical teams on systems projects, ensuring the successful design, implementation, operation, and technical management of those projects. Taking a holistic approach to systems engineering, the Systems Engineer ensures that all aspects of a system project are considered and addressed. The Systems Engineer works closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and then develops and documents technical requirements that meet those needs. The Systems Engineer leads the design team in developing a system architecture that meets all of the requirements. After the system is designed, the Systems Engineer oversees the implementation of the system, working with the implementation team to ensure that it meets all of the requirements. Once the system is deployed, the Systems Engineer manages the technical aspects of the system, including monitoring performance, troubleshooting problems, and making improvements.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage all technical aspects of product or system design including directing multiple lab resources for large scale product or system deployments
• Manage sub-contractor resources supporting all system engineering areas (definition, requirements analysis, synthesis, systems analysis and implementation)
• Conduct product or system design synthesis translating requirements into physical architectures for systems of high complexity to include defining and refining internal and external interfaces
• Develop technical reports and diagrams detailing product or system attributes
• Validate security control configurations on systems and ensure all systems are configured with proper controls, such as STIGS, CMMC, and other similar requirements
• Collaborate with sponsors and other key stakeholders to derive tasks from detailed requirements, and provide tasking to other team members based off of the derived tasks

Additional Responsibilities

• Work with the Government to coordinate all aspects of the system design, siting, performance requirements, cost considerations, and sustainment.
• Ensure that program participants are employing sound Systems Engineering practices
• Provide systems engineering technical management of programs and/or subordinate projects within aprogram from the contract award through the final disposition of deliverables and closeout.
• Assist with the standup of programs utilizing the USAF Acquisition processes and permutations such asSection 804 Rapid Acquisition,
• Manage the logistical, financial and technical aspects of the program.
• Facilitate and communicate program goals, including cost, technical performance deliverables and schedules.
• Work with the GTRI Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) team to ensure that all relevant aspects of the program are fully captured in an MBSE tool such as Cameo.
• Promote use of the MBSE model by stakeholders to establish, trade-off, verify, change, accept, and sustain functional capabilities, design ch
