Systems Engineer Job at Boeing (Huntsville)

Job Description

Lead the engineering that makes missile defense real. Boeing’s Phantom Works Missile Defense National Teams are hiring Systems Engineers to work Huntsville, AL at the intersection of mission outcomes, architecture, analysis, integration, and test. On the Boeing-led Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) National Team, you’ll help the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) shape system-level concepts, architectures, requirements, and assessments that drive incremental upgrades to America’s Missile Defense System. On the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) National Team, you’ll help evolve the integrating element that links sensors and weapons and synchronizes operations to deliver a layered defense across all phases of flight. Our teams are currently hiring a broad range of Senior (Level 5-6) Systems Engineers in the following disciplines: Systems Architecture, Requirements and Interfaces; Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation; Modeling and Simulation.

Job Responsibility

Define and evolve the MDA/C2BMC system architecture
Develop and maintain requirements and architecture artifacts (including interface definitions) to support missile defense capabilities
Run and support architecture and requirements trade studies to recommend options that improve mission performance, cost/schedule, and technical feasibility
Own and improve the requirements management engine: planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring of requirements processes and tools (including traceability, change control, and quality)
Lead program-level risks/issues/opportunities tracking and technology readiness assessments as they relate to architecture and requirements decisions
Collaborate frequently with MDA, warfighters, and industry partners to align requirements, interfaces, and system priorities
Lead cross-functional teams in developing products and interacting with government customers
Plan and execute integration and checkout work – define tasks, schedule them, assign work, monitor completion, and keep the integration plan moving
Evaluate results from integration/checkout activities and determine whether they meet checkout requirements so the team can proceed to the next stage
Define and drive the overall integration and test (I&T) strategy (processes, tools, and metrics) to ensure we verify requirements effectively and consistently
Execute and document integration and test events, including capturing results, issues, and evidence needed for verification
Partner with integration/test SMEs to solve complex system problems spanning process, tools, regulations, and system-specific issues
Identify and implement tool/process improvements that reduce friction and increase throughput (automation, reporting, repeatable workflows)
Lead cross-functional teams in developing products and interacting with government customers
Evaluate system performance across realistic scenarios and architectures to provide mission insight used by MDA and warfighters
Build and maintain analysis tools across multiple levels of fidelity, including modeling and simulation that predicts performance against evolving threats
Perform system and performance trade studies (mission effectiveness, architecture comparisons, “what-if” analyses) to inform technical decisions
Develop and improve modeling approaches to ensure results are credible, repeatable, and decision-useful (assumptions, data handling, validation/verification of models)
Use modeling, simulation, and quantitative methods to provide technical leadership and recommendations in assigned focus areas

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
12 or more years' related engineering experience
Prior experience in system engineering (e.g. Systems, Design, Architecture, Integration, Requirements or Test)
Leadership experience to include but not limited to engineering leadership roles and/or leading work and driving teams to success

Nice to have

Systems Architecture, Requirements, and Interfaces
Experience with missile-defense mission context, especially command & control, battle management, and communications
Requirements analysis & verification experience
Requirements and architecture development for complex systems/system-of-systems experience
Experience using MBSE / requirements tools such as Cameo, DOORS, or similar
Experience leading architecture / requirements trade studies
Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation
Experience supporting/driving integration and test, including executing and documenting test events
Experience developing/tailoring I&T processes, tools, and metrics
Experience evaluating results against requirements (verification evidence/artifacts)
Experience working across multiple stakeholders/teams, especially MDA-like environments
Scripting/programming for test/tool support (Python, MATLAB, Java, or similar)
Modeling and Simulation
Experience performing system/performance analysis or trade studies (e.g., operational/feasibility analysis, MOEs/TPMs)
Experience developing/using modeling and simulation tools to predict performance
Experience with modeling missile-defense or related engagement domains
Scripting/programming for analysis tools (Python, MATLAB, Java, or similar)
Ability to communicate results clearly to support decisions with technical and nontechnical stakeholders
