POSITION SUMMARY:

Defense Architecture Systems is in search of a motivated Systems engineer to support major DoD programs in the development of CUAS systems. This is not an IT-based position, do not apply if you are a systems administrator or other networking-focused person. As a part of the DAS team, the Systems Engineer II works on the development, design and presentation of complex system parameters including mechanical, electrical and systems architectures. Working with an experienced team of engineers you will apply systems engineering principles to design, analyze, develop, and test and debug components, and systems. Common tasks include the development of systems architectures that relate to complex system design and integrated operational platforms, researching and ensuring the implementation of military standards for subsystem interfaces, and the design of and attendance at advanced government test events including multinational corporations. This position reports to the Director of Engineering.
We are currently hiring for full-time, on-site positions.

QUALIFICATIONS:

This position requires a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in engineering (mechanical, electrical, systems or related field) and a minimum of 4 years’ experience working on military systems.
We are looking for long-term teammates. If you are interested in this position and can obtain a U.S. security clearance, send us your resume even if you don’t meet all of the qualification listed below. The skills listed below are a big plus, but we’re ready to train the right people.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• Be a US citizen
• Have 4-8 Years of experience
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, systems engineering (or related field) required
• Have extensive experience with systems architecture development, documentation and assessment.
• Be highly motivated and able to work on a small, dynamic team

DESIRED EXPERIENCE

· Master’s degree in a related engineering field
· Demonstrated work history on complex military systems, sensor systems engineering, hardware systems engineering.
· Demonstrated experience with systems engineering tools
· Demonstrated production and modification of DoDAF (OV/CV/SV) artifacts.

This is not an IT-based position. It focuses on integrating electrical, mechanical, sensing, firmware and software subsystems to develop a mission-critical capability. Common tasking includes;
· Requirements development
o Attend multidisciplinary meetings to develop key performance requirements for electrical, mechanical, sensing and decision-making subsystems. Translate complex subsystem information into concise metrics supportable through testing and analysis methodologies.
· Technical Documentation:
o Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation, including system design specifications, integration plans, and testing procedures. Generate system engineering documentation using tools (Enterprise Architect, Cameo Systems Modeler, Rational Software Architect) to ensure that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the system’s capabilities, connections, and limitations.
· System Design and Development:
o Design and develop integrated systems that meet military specifications and requirements. This includes creating detailed system architectures and ensuring all subsystems work together seamlessly.
· Integration and Testing:
o Specify key subsystem and full system tests to demonstrate system compliance with designs. Develop and oversee the integration of various subsystems, including hardware, electrical signals and software components. Design and direct testing to ensure the integrated system meets performance and functionality standards.
· Collaboration and Coordination:
o Work closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, component suppliers, project managers and software developers to ensure timely and successful integration of subsystems.
· Problem Solving and Troubleshooting:
o Identify and resolve integration issues that arise during the development and testing phases. This involves analyzing system performance, diagnosing problems, and designing tests and subtests to validate prior to full scale integration.
· Compliance and Standards:
o Ensure that all systems and subsystems comply with relevant military standards and regulations. This includes staying up-to-date with the latest industry standards and best practices.
· Customer Interaction:
o Engage with military clients to understand their needs and requirements. Provide technical support and guidance during the deployment and operational phases of the system.
· Continuous Improvement:
o Conduct research and stay informed about emerging technologies and methodologies. Apply this knowledge to improve existing systems and develop innovative solutions for future projects.
