• Participate in Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and Engineering Working Groups that will review and assess the maturity of engineering Artifacts, CONOPS, Interfaces, and Architecture products.
• Support space, ground, and enterprise teams developing architecture and requirement baselines for Indications and Warning (I&W) system of systems, establishing and assessing mission capabilities, assessing system and segment schedule, vulnerabilities, and risks, and supporting test and verification strategy.
• Assist in the creation of quantifiable requirements based on customer description, system planning and design, and acquisition logistics.
• Ensure requirements comply with client requirements and government standards through formal verification methods.
• Assess performance using evaluation criteria and technical performance measures.
• Participate in design reviews to ensure applicability to the current system and traceability of requirements through compliance verification and validation.
• Participate in the usage of MBSE in both customer and company domains by applying the principles of MBSE to major system acquisitions in the Resiliency I&W domain.
• Assess engineering artifacts and develop models of mission systems using a MBSE tool suite.
• Facilitate and/or participate in collaborative meetings between the Resiliency I&W space system subject matter experts (SMEs) and MBSE and SysML experts to identify and implement modeling solutions.

Required:

• Must possess and be able to maintain a TS/SCI clearance with polygraph.
