Job Description Summary

The Senior Systems Engineer will be an integral part of the SEALM (Systems Eng Application Lifecycle Management) program partnering with Information Technology (IT), modality engineering, and external vendors to support the development and deployment of the new SEALM tool (Jama connect) in GEHC. Activities include scope management, requirements development, and conversion of workflows into feature development for defect management and other additional features (ex: alarms, indicators, etc.). Creating and managing effective dashboards to show overall feature development status and highlight progress on key design, development aspects of the features will be critical. The role requires partnering with IT to lead the definition of incremental features and defining verification testing functionality as part of migration and deployment of the new tool. The role will define the training strategy for SEALM deployment (localization, piloting, customization, etc.) for the new features. The role will use subject matter expertise to support various tech councils as needed and to train, review enterprise-wide Systems Engineering (SE) initiatives, topics and concepts.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

SEALM Feature Development:
As part of feature development in SEALM, work with the Program Design Leader to lead the following activities:

• Gather initial stakeholder inputs and existing best practice implementations across key product teams
• Define a draft “standard work” proposal (process definition, training package, and proposed tool configuration including formal change requests). Refer to applicable GEHC internal standards, work instructions, and external standards for guidance
• Identify “corner case” subset of users and verify that the new standard work or process proposal meets their needs.  Use this as the initial “MVP” proposal
• Communicate to the broad community of all users the new standard process or work. Triage feedback received from the community into
• Communicate to the broad community of all users the new standard process or work. Triage feedback received from the community into 1) Must fix, gates adoption 2) Productivity improvement (to be planned 3) Nice to have…probably the team needs to migrate to new standard work. 4)Create and deploy training for each new feature. After initial deployment, monitor user requests for enhancements or changes, and iterate steps above for each request.

Jama workaround definition:

• Work with Jama to define the list of workarounds and the business impacts.
• Work with Jama to manage the workaround retirement strategy.

Training Definition and Deployment:

• Work with SEALM Design and project leads to define the training strategy for Jama feature deployment using “standard work" model.
• Define the tailoring strategy: how modalities customize the training (add localization and specific examples in a modular way)
• Define the pilot strategy that minimizes learning curve post-deployment (maximizes learning prior to official migration

Systems Engineering:

• Generate “Digital Systems Engineering 2030 vision” a roadmap toward integrating SEALM with MBSE (Model based) and capturing industry best practices in leveraging AI to increase SE productivity.
