Job description

Applied Technology Solutions, Inc. (ATS) is seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to support the technical development, integration, and delivery of innovative engineering solutions for complex Department of Defense, aerospace, and related hardware-based applications. This is an engineering-focused Systems Engineering role supporting the development of physical products and integrated technical systems. The position is not an IT, network, cloud, cybersecurity, software infrastructure, help desk, or enterprise-information-systems role. The Systems Engineer will provide technical leadership and disciplined Systems Engineering support across the product-development lifecycle. This individual will work directly with customers, engineering team leads, designers, program personnel, and configuration-management stakeholders to develop and manage requirements; coordinate system interfaces; maintain technical baselines; prepare for formal milestone reviews; and ensure engineering deliverables meet customer, technical, and contractual requirements. The successful candidate will be a strong technical communicator who can connect contractual requirements, engineering design activities, system interfaces, verification evidence, configuration-controlled data, and customer deliverables throughout a program’s lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Derive, document, decompose, allocate, and maintain system-level requirements from Statements of Work, customer specifications, technical documentation, and program objectives.
• Develop and maintain requirements traceability from customer and contractual requirements through design, analysis, integration, test, verification, and final engineering deliverables.
• Working closely with engineering team leads to ensure designs provide objective evidence of compliance with customer expectations, technical requirements, and contractual obligations.
• Support the technical development and integration of multidisciplinary engineering systems, including coordination among mechanical, aerospace, electrical, manufacturing, design, and program teams, as applicable.
• Lead the development, maintenance, and coordination of Interface Control Documents (ICDs), interface requirements, and interface-related technical communications among internal teams, customers, and other stakeholders.
• Support systems integration, verification, validation, and test-planning activities, as applicable to assigned programs.
• Coordinate with the Configuration Manager to maintain configuration-controlled engineering data, including technical baselines, deliverable indices, drawing trees, Bills of Materials (BOMs), revision status, and other program documentation.
• Support engineering change-control activities and help ensure released technical data is accurate, complete, traceable, and maintained in accordance with project and company procedures.
• Support engineering team leads in planning, preparing for, and executing customer and internal milestone reviews.
• Verify that required milestone entrance and exit criteria are met and that engineering review packages, technical data, analyses, drawings, reports, and other deliverables are complete and properly controlled.
• Track engineering and contractual deliverables; identify schedule, technical, documentation, interface, or compliance risks; and support timely resolution with engineering leads and program stakeholders.
• Support contract transition-out and closeout activities throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring engineering deliverables are completed, approved, controlled, archived, and transferred in accordance with contractual and customer requirements.
• Promote Systems Engineering principles and best practices throughout the design process, including requirements management, interface control, technical-risk management, configuration management, verification planning, and lifecycle documentation.
• Assist in establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving ATS processes and procedures related to Systems Engineering, configuration management, quality control, engineering documentation, and technical operations.
• Interface directly and professionally with customers, engineering teams, program leadership, suppliers, and other technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, or equivalent, from an ABET-accredited institution.
• of relevant experience in Systems Engineering, engineering product development, system integration, requirements management, technical program execution, configuration management, or related engineering discipline.
• Experience developing, documenting, decomposing, tracing, managing, or verifying engineering or system requirements.
• Experience supporting multidisciplinary engineering design, development, integration, test, verification, or technical-data deliverables.
• Ability to read, interpret, and work from Statements of Work, technical specifications, engineering drawings, interface documentation, and contractual deliverable requirements.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical information clearly with customers and cross-functional engineering teams.
• Strong organizational, documentation, and project-coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple engineering deliverables and priorities.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret DoD security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related engineering field.
• Active Secret DoD security clearance.
• Experience supporting Department of Defense, aerospace, missile defense, government-contract, or other highly regulated engineering programs.
• Experience supporting formal technical and program milestone reviews, such as System Requirements Reviews (SRRs), Preliminary Design Reviews (PDRs), Critical Design Reviews (CDRs), Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), or equivalent customer reviews.
• Experience with requirements management and Systems Engineering tools, including IBM DOORS, DOORS Next, Cameo Systems Modeler, or similar tools.
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), SysML, system architecture development, or related modeling methods.
• Experience building system models in Cameo a strong plus
• Familiarity with configuration management, technical baseline management, engineering change control, Interface Control Documents, drawing trees, Bills of Materials, technical-data packages, and quality-management processes.
• Experience developing or maintaining verification matrices, requirements traceability matrices, interface matrices, compliance matrices, or engineering-deliverable matrices.
