Program Overview

About The Role

Peraton has an opening for an experienced Senior Systems Engineer to aid in program integration activities.

• Plan, manage, and execute continuous integration activities over the life of the contract to include development of entry/exit criteria for each step of system integration flow to ensure that the development/integration/test activities of each step effectively support the delivery of the space system.
• Support Government oversight of prime contractor development of the initial product baseline including establishing the detailed designs for the system's components, specifying the architecture, functions and capabilities of the system's elements and components, defining the logical, physical, and human interfaces for the components and between system components, establishing and maintaining design artifacts that describe the conditions, operating modes, and operating states specific to the components of the architecture, and maintaining bi-directional requirements traceability.
