Job description

Senior Systems Engineer

DCS has an exciting opportunity for a senior systems engineer providing support to the Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management Division (C3BM).

Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management (C3BM) has been tasked with delivering an integrated Department of the Air Force (DAF) Battle Network providing resilient decision advantage and enabling the USAF, USSF, Joint, and Coalition Force to win against the pacing challenge. C3BM supports execution in many different focus areas. C3BM’s main efforts are Architecture and Systems Engineering (ASE), Operational Response Team (ORT), and multiple mission integration teams such as Air, Maritime, and multiple acquisitions consisting of both the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) and Space.

The selected candidate will provide systems engineering support across the acquisition lifecycle and will be aligned to the Air Mission Integration Team (MIT). The MIT is responsible for translating operational requirements into technical solutions, developing integrated architectures, assessing and mitigating risks, supporting acquisition execution strategies, and coordinating test and evaluation activities to ensure capabilities are delivered to operational users.

This is a full-time position located at Hanscom AFB, Bedford, MA and is 100% onsite.

Provide systems engineering support throughout the acquisition lifecycle, including requirements analysis, system design, integration, sustainment, and disposal activities.

Support Mission Integration Team (MIT) activities by translating operational and functional requirements into technical requirements.

Participate in architecture definition efforts to ensure integration and interoperability across the DAF C3BM enterprise architecture. Review current DoD architecture models and support development of future-state architectures that enable sensor-to-shooter connectivity. Support risk assessments and collaborate with stakeholders to identify and mitigate technical and programmatic risks. Assist in developing execution management strategies and transition capability requirements to the acquisition community.

Support development of test and evaluation strategies in coordination with acquisition and test organizations. Drive interoperability and integration efforts across Program Executive Offices (PEOs) and weapon systems. Capture and analyze current and future operational architectures based on mission and engagement scenarios. Engage with joint and coalition stakeholders to support development of integrated multi-domain architectures.

Support identification, assessment, and maturation of innovative concepts through analysis, modeling, simulation, and systems engineering activities. Prepare and support technical briefings, engineering documentation, reports, and recommendations for Government leadership.
