Essential Functions

Significantly support system design reviews (SRR/PDR/CDR/TRR) for Autonomy Systems, develop interfaces (IDDs, ICDs) and operational/system/data viewpoints, in alignment with customer standards such as DoDAF.
Perform system-level integration and test activities to ensure the Autonomy Systems meet or exceeds functional and performance system requirements.
Define and document system requirements, interfaces, and performance metrics.
Lead autonomy architecture development efforts and act as a primary customer-facing liaison for all architectural developments
Perform system-level modeling and simulation (M&S) and analyses using digital models and analysis tools, such as AFSIM, to quantify the utility or effectiveness of an autonomy system.
Support proposal activities by performing M&S, technical data analysis and creating/ revising assigned technical content sections as needed.
Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies, using tools such as Cameo/MagicDraw, to create and maintain system models, ensuring clarity and traceability.
Perform system analysis, such as requirements analyses, and design activities to support the development of Autonomy System Architectures, models, data, and interfaces.
Develop working knowledge of Aerospace and DoD Systems Engineering Management, and relevant customer or industry processes, such as DoD 5000.
This position requires the ability to sit or stand at a desk and work on a computer for prolonged periods of time.
May require the ability to push/pull/lift up to 15 pounds
This role may require travel when necessary. Approximately 15%
