IBCS Systems Engineer 4

This position is contingent upon The Boeing Company receiving program award for the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) program. The IBCS Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I) Integrated Product Team (IPT) is responsible for providing engineering and analytical support in developing and maintaining the IBCS System Architecture, IBCS System Specification (SS) requirements, and the IBCS interface requirements. This position is for the development of the IBCS interface requirements and documentation of the IBCS Interface Control Documents (ICDs). The candidate will responsible for developing the IBCS interface requirements and should have experience in interface requirements, ICD development and/or interface documentation. This IBCS product will define what the IBCS system interfaces must do and lead to allocations of functionality and performance to Major End Items (MEI). The IBCS SE&I IPT works closely with the MEI IPT's to ensure the flow down of the system interface requirements are interpreted correctly. Candidate should have strong social and presentation skills, demonstrated strong Systems Engineering principles and experience with interfaces including Link-16 and Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC). Candidate must be able to apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design, develop and verify complex lifecycle balanced system of systems and system solutions. Evaluates customer/operational needs to define and coordinate system performance requirements, integrate technical parameters and assure compatibility of all physical, functional and program interfaces. Performs various analyses to optimize total system of systems and/or system architecture. Develops, maintains and identifies improvements for the planning, organization, implementation and monitoring of requirements management processes, tools, risk, issues, opportunity management and technology readiness assessment processes. Resolves cross-functional technical issues. Works under minimal direction. Knowledge of SE processes for the development of integration, evaluation and assessment documentation, data collection, evaluation and analysis requirements, interface design and implementation specifications is required. Emphasis required on system behavior development for specified capabilities supporting battle management, command and control, weapon systems and sensor functionality and associated information exchange requirements tied to specified performance metrics that are traditionally demonstrated in systems level engineering.
