Description:

This is an opportunity to join the IERUS team as an Interface Systems Engineer supporting a large Missile Defense Agency program.

As an Interface Systems Engineer you will be responsible for conducting interface definition and revision to incorporate new system capabilities and spiral development changes that affect the interface.

Responsibilities:

• Developing and updating XML schemas (.xsd files) to support multiple Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
• Work with multiple ICD authors and participate in multiple technical working groups to apply knowledge of the system domain and interface exchange requirements.
• Attend interface working group meetings with MDA customer and representatives of assigned external element engineering organization as well as support to program integration and test related efforts for the associated interface.
• Support spiral leadership to assure interface artifacts and system assessment tasks required for the assigned sensor interface are completed when required.
• May also be assigned to support: other interface engineers in developing ICDs for other BMDS Elements; XML schema development; requirements engineering, use case development, and logical architecture modeling tasks as SE department tasking dictates.

Required Qualifications:

• B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in an engineering discipline (Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics) or equivalent years’ experience.
• Five (5) years of experience in a related engineering environment.
• Must be a US citizen with an active DoD Secret security clearance.
• Must have demonstrated systems engineering skills and experience with interface engineering, to include message definition and processing rules; message formatting (e.g. XML, VMF, et al); physical/network specifications and models, to include the ISO OSI model; physical/network topologies and devices; network protocols (e.g. TCP/IP, UDP, et al).
• Requirements Engineering experience working with IBM Rational's Dynamic Object-Oriented Requirements System (DOORS).
• Must be able to function as part of an experienced team in developing systems engineering products and artifacts while adhering to the program Architecture and Systems Engineering Management Plan (ASEMP) and other processes.

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience with LRDR or other MDS sensor elements is a significant plus.
• Experience with requirements engineering, use case development, logical architecture modeling, MBSE modeling, to include behavioral modeling (use cases, activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, statechart diagrams, etc.).
• Structural Modeling (structural composition diagrams, interface diagrams, conceptual object diagrams, etc.).
• SysML, BMDS domain experience, RMF-based cyber security, and project planning utilizing MS Project, and Earned Value Management techniques and tools.
• Experience with Agile or Iterative Development Methods. 
• Experience with team leadership, task tracking, and issue resolution coordination.
• Experience with Agile/Iterative development methods.
• Missile Defense Agency (MDA) sensor domain experience a plus.
• Specific interface experience with the MDA elements or sensors is a significant plus.
