Responsibilities
- Requirements Development & Traceability - Derive, refine, and manage system‑level and subsystem‑level requirements for software processing flows including data ingest, timing/synchronization, signal processing outputs, interfaces. Define requirements constraining the system design, including latency, throughput, cybersecurity requirements, and space/weight/power constraints. Maintain full traceability of requirements within a digital engineering environment.
- Systems Architecture & Interface Definition - Develop a high-level software architecture for deploying signal processing services within a Kubernetes-based environment. Support the design of computing infrastructure which can execute the designed software architecture. Ensure that the resulting system is modular, open, interoperable, and addresses cybersecurity requirements.
- Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) - Create and maintain MBSE artifacts (SysML diagrams, functional flows, ICDs represented as digital models) that describe system behavior, support design decisions, and drive verification planning.
- Integration & Verification Planning - Define integration strategies for software‑processing components. Support system-in-the-loop testbed planning, verification event preparation, and validation of processing chains against mission needs.
- Cross‑Team Coordination - Collaborate with radar‑frontend teams, signal processing algorithm developers, cybersecurity, mission operations stakeholders, MBSE validators, and government technical directors to ensure system alignment, risk reduction, and requirement compliance.
- Risk Management & Configuration Control - Identify and track technical risks for the processing architecture and supporting computing infrastructure. Support configuration management processes within the centralized digital repository.
- Support Technical Communication - Develop artifacts and communicate effectively in support of external program reviews and internal design meetings.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Engineering, or related technical field.
- 5+ years of experience in systems engineering for sensor systems, large‑scale real‑time systems, or mission‑critical software‑processing pipelines.
- Experience developing or maintaining system architectures, requirements, and interface specifications for data‑processing systems.
- Familiarity with the design and architecture of high-throughput sensor data processing systems.
- Familiarity with model-based systems engineering tools and techniques.
- Strong technical communications skills for cross‑functional collaboration
- U.S. Citizenship with ability to obtain and maintain a DoD clearance.
Candidates meeting the following criteria will be preferred:
- Experience with radar‑processing architectures.
- Experience in developing modular and open systems architectures.
- Experience with Kubernetes or high-performance computing environments.
- Experience supporting software-in-the-loop or hardware‑in‑the‑loop integration environments.
- Familiarity with digital twin approaches or large‑scale MBSE repositories.
- Familiarity with DoD cybersecurity (NIST 800-53) and program protection processes.
- Active DoD security clearance.
