Leidos Defense is seeking a Mid-Level Systems Engineer to join the IFPC Inc 2 systems engineering team. The IFPC Inc 2 is a ground-based, mobile system that aims to combat cruise missiles and unmanned aircraft systems. As part of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability program (IFPC), the system protects and defends civilian and military infrastructure and bridges the gap between tactical short range air defense systems and our strategic systems. This Systems Engineer will join a matrixed organization of systems engineers, model-based systems engineers, and specialty systems engineers. This systems engineer must have experience with developing systems engineering artifacts, including Requirements Specifications, Test Procedures, Test Reports, CONOPS, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) content. The Systems Engineer will use Cameo Systems Modeler and SysML to develop requirements specifications, system architecture content (bdd / ibd), and system behavioral content (act / stm). This position does not necessarily require an MBSE Subject Matter Expert, but the role does minimally require experience working independently on MBSE models, some model customization, and the ability to communicate with non-Systems Engineering stakeholders who are less familiar with MBSE approaches. Specific roles and responsibilities include: Develop and manage the IFPC verification process & strategy Stand up a verification review board Own system level DVOs and VCNs Review and approve all DVOs and VCNs at the subsystem and below level including software Present metrics and status to SE lead and leadership weekly Plan verification priorities and manage a verification burndown against multiple configurations Ensure requirements are verifiable Manage the linkages between verification artifacts and requirements such as test procedures and analysis results Work to define success criteria Work a path towards addressing verification gaps Own the system level VCRM Mentor team in writing good verification artifacts Manage verification artifacts against multiple system configurations The Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization, which supports multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments. When the program ends, the Systems Engineer will have the opportunity to support a different program in the matrixed engineering portfolio. A candidate with experience in other systems engineering areas such as Model-Based Systems Engineering, Human Factors Engineering, Risk Management, and Reliability Analysis will be treated preferentially. However, a strong background in traditional systems engineering and technical leadership is what is required for this position.

Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university with 8+
