C3BM Systems Engineer

Description

Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management (C3BM) systems engineering efforts include engaging in Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) and Ballistic Missile Defense System Overhead Persistent Infra-Red Architecture (BOA)technical engineering and integration, future concepts, new functionality, and multi-national exchange designs. Systems engineering responsibilities include translating mission objectives into reference architectures, developing technical requirements in support of interface designs and participating in reviews/assessments of C2BMC/BOA engineering products. The ideal candidate will be responsible for design, development, integration and management of interfaces between systems, software, and hardware components, ensuring compliance with MDA/BC technical baselines.

Job Description (What You'll Be Doing)

• Support definition and development of C2BMC/BOA system and subsystem interfaces using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and methodologies.
• Develop and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Interface Description Documents (IDDs), Interface Requirements Specifications (IRS), and related technical documentation.
• Use MBSE tools (e.g. Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architect, etc.) to model interfaces and system behaviors throughout the engineering lifecycle.
• Analyze operational, functional, and system-level requirements and architecture to drive interface specifications.
• Support integration and testing of C2BMC/BOA and MDS element's system interfaces in lab and operational environments.
• Collaborate with system engineers and developers to design and define C2BMC/BOA system interfaces (e.g. hardware and software).
• Participate in internal/external design reviews, technical interchange meetings, and interface control working groups.
• Support risk identification and mitigation related to interface design and interoperability.
• Support integration and interoperability product evaluations of C2BMC/BOA system based on future capabilities within MDA/BC builds through interface, requirements, product definitions.
• Ensure compliance with interface standards, protocols, and system interoperability requirements.
• Maintain interface configuration control and manage changes throughout the system lifecycle.
• Assist with risk assessment and mitigation strategies related to interface development and interoperability.
• Prepare technical assessments and reports for MDA/BC technical boards and working groups.
• Prepare official meeting minutes and track actions items to closure.
