Systems Engineer 5

The Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) Systems Engineering and 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 be 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 should be able to apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to lead activities to plan, design, develop and verify complex lifecycle balanced system of systems and system solutions.

Lead others to evaluate customer/operational needs to define system performance requirements, integrate technical parameters and assure compatibility of all physical, functional and program interfaces. Leads analyses to optimize total system of systems and/or system architecture. Leads, develops, maintains and identifies improvements the planning, organization, implementation and monitoring of requirements management processes, tools, risk, issues, opportunity management and technology readiness assessment processes. Works under consultative 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.

Competencies

General


Communication
Consistently and proactively clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Guiders others in keeping their audience thoroughly engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Frames highly complex and or advanced information in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Regularly seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Attends to both direct and indirect messages from others; correctly interprets messages and responds appropriately. Mentors and advises fellow project leads and other internal employees on effective communication techniques.

Customer Focus
Provides enterprise level modeling for making customers and their needs a primary focus of one's actions; develops and sustains productive, high-level customer relationships as they relate to complex and large scale projects; actively seeks information to understand customers' circumstances, problems, expectations, and needs; presents project level information to senior level customers to build their understanding of issues and capabilities; considers how complex project level decisions/actions/plans will affect customers; responds quickly to meet significant customer needs and resolve complex problems; provides enterprise level thought leadership on monitoring and evaluating customer concerns, issues, and satisfaction and to anticipate customer needs.

Systems Thinking
Consistently and proactively evaluates job tasks and processes on how well they help meet program/project objective(s); identifies non-value-adding components and barriers. Expertly formulates complex change strategies; frequently seeks input from others to evaluate options for change and encourage buy-in. Makes appropriate changes to job/role structures and processes by assigning accountability appropriately, communicating effectively, focusing on new skill development, and integrating with related systems or processes. Uses accurate measurement systems to monitor the implementation. Technical


Analytical Skills
Skill and ability to: collect, organize, synthesize, and analyze data; summarize findings; develop conclusions and recommendations from appropriate data sources at the business unit level.

Functional Flow Analysis
Advanced, expert knowledge and understanding of functional flow analysis process methodology applied to operations and maintenance evaluation and analysis.

Integrated Systems
Advanced/expert knowledge of design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment, and methods.

Tech Risk Mgmt & Perf Measure
Advanced, expert working knowledge of the methodology and processes associated with risk management, conducting trade studies including cost as an independent variable (CAIV) trades. Ability to: mentor and coach less experienced personnel to apply risk management and performance measures, identify and quantity potential risks areas within specific (depth) and across multiple engineering disciplines (breadth), understand design constraints (technical, cost & schedule), identify and trade alternatives (i.e., trade studies), select/recommend the best plan for mitigating complex risks, implement/execute plans for mitigating risk and establish appropriate performance tracking metrics to track risk burndown over time. Ability to effectively utilize risk management tools (iso-risk charts/plots, waterfall, etc) to support program/project execution.

Typical Education/Experience

Degree and typical experience in engineering classification: Bachelor's, Master's or PhD with proven experience. Bachelor, Master or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry. ABET is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
