Full Job Title: Senior Principal Intersegment Systems Engineer 6 Skills Management Title Communications & Sensor SystemJob Level: EXEMPTBusiness Component: Integrated Defense Systems (IDS)Job Description: Qualified applicant will be expected to lead a team to do systems architecting and analysis on complex spaced based communications, networks and/or sensor systems which including multiple segments such as space, ground, user, network management, information assurance and so on. Is considered an expert in systems engineering principles, theories, technologies, and concepts. Applicant will be expected to integrate communications network, surveillance, and identification/multi-sensor system architecture requirments such as capacity analysis, performance and link budgets, top level modeling and simulations of the intersegment system with other platform systems and platform sub-systems. This includes addressing factors such as doppler compensation, interference cancellation, beam forming, intraoperability, and routing. Develops new principles, processes, methods, or concepts. Participates in resolving complex problems that require a high level of ingenuity and innovation. Verifies accuracy of results through consultation with other authorities in the field rather than by formal review. Translates top level intersegment contract requirements into segment and element requirements, functions, and physical block diagrams. Resolves or oversees resolution of programmatic and technical problems that affect performance, cost, or schedule. Organizes technical aspects of proposal development from bid decision to submittal of proposal to customer in compliance with government doctrine, policy and standards. Provides system architecture and customer operational concept guidance to program management. Acts as project leader in specialized instances. Identify intersegment systems risk areas, quantify risks, define plans for mitigating risk. Apply system architecting and engineering methodologies and tools for risk management, functional decomposition, requirements flow and physical constrains. Conduct architecture trade studies to evaluate system concepts and establish preliminary designs. Lead team to perform program Affordability and Cost as an Independent Variable (CAIV) study analysis. Identify key performance parameters (KPPs) and metrics. Produce functional flow block, IDEF0, control flow, and data flow and sequence diagrams. Competencies 1) Technical Skills & Knowledge: Experienced in leading teams creating systems architecture views of complex intersegment (space, ground, user, etc.) systems for various stakeholders such as contracting officers, end users, manufacturing operations, suppliers, software developers etc. Knowledge of intersegment system customer and user needs is desired. Experience managing large projects or programs is desired. Ability to understand the big picture and the inter-relationships of all system segments, including the impact of changes in one segment on another segment. Knowledge of intersegment communications and networking concepts and principles (e.g., modulation, coding, band width, information assurance, latency, jitter, quality of service, routing, frequency hopping, gateways). Knowledge of producibility, design for manufacturing, assembly and test (DFMAT). Knowledge of the methods used by military customers in operating company products. This includes knowledge of missions, interoperability, force compositions, threats, targets, tactics, as well as military standards. Knowledge of secure communications, information assurance (quality of service, assured availability, insider attacks, etc.). The ability to achieve desired outcomes on projects, on-time and within budget using IMP/IMS and EVMS. 2) People Working Together: Effectively participates in accomplishing team goals; encourages learning from one another; creates group cohesion; gives and seeks specific, constructive feedback; works effectively with other work groups; values the contribution of people from diverse backgrounds; involves others in decisions that affect them. 3) Problem Solving / Judgment: Gathers, examines, and interprets information from different sources to generate effective solutions to problems and make sound business decisions; generates alternate approaches to solving problems when needed; demonstrates awareness of the likely consequences or implications of judgments. Generates and implements new and useful ideas; ideas reflect 'thinking outside the box'; explores alternatives; takes risks and tries new approaches. 4) Dependability: The ability and willingness to take ownership of work activities and ensure they are completed accurately, efficiently, and in a timely manner. This also includes being reliable, trusted, and accountable for completing work activities. 5) Leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead a multi-disciplined team.
