Position Description

Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, is seeking a talented Systems Engineer to join a diverse team to create unique solutions for complex problems. With offices across the United States engaging in the defense, space, cyber and commercial fields, Dynetics provides responsive, cost-effective engineering, scientific and IT solutions.

The Systems Engineer will develop requirements specifications derived from customer needs for product development programs associated with the DoD, DARPA, NASA, and commercial applications. The selected candidate will interface with program management and design engineers to support a program’s systems engineering needs throughout its design life cycle, including modeling system behavior, defining the system architecture, dictating system interfaces, performing requirements verification, helping develop test programs, and maintaining configuration management. The selected candidate may present the systems engineering artifacts they have developed to the customer in formal design reviews and may serve as a customer liaison in many of their programs.

The Systems Engineer will work in a matrixed organization at Dynetics, supporting multiple programs at once in a variety of engineering fields with all different team environments, from the large-scale programs that Dynetics is the prime contractor for, like the Hypersonics Weapons Program and High Energy Laser Program, to smaller-scale programs for which Dynetics provides support as a subcontractor to companies in the top 100 DoD contractors. The candidate will join a diverse team of other systems engineers and model-based systems engineers within Dynetics and have the opportunity to work on programs from their preferred background, as well as challenge themselves by working on programs outside of their expertise.

As a Mid- to Senior-Level Systems Engineer, this candidate may serve as a Lead Systems Engineer on a major program, where they will manage tasking for a team of other, more junior systems engineers. In this role, the candidate will also interface with program leadership, customers, and line management. 

Basic Qualifications

• A Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical/engineering degree from an ABET-accredited university.
• Candidate must have at least five (8) years of experience supporting DoD, NASA, or commercial programs as a systems engineer or model-based systems engineer.
• Experience mentoring other engineers and/or serving as a technical task lead on an engineering project. 
• Experience in deriving requirements for complex electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, and software systems.
• Must be a resident of the North Alabama area or willing to relocate to the Huntsville - North Alabama, AL area.
• Capable of performing in a collaborative engineering environment working closely with multi-disciplinary teams.
• Demonstrated experience effectively communicating within a team environment.
• Experience with DOORS and/or other requirements database tools.

Other Qualifications

• INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional Certification (ASEP or CSEP)
• A detailed understanding of the top-down systems engineering process for architecture development and bottoms-up verification
• Thorough understanding of the DoD acquisition processes and methods
• Master's Degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical/engineering degree from an ABET-accredited university.
• Experience supporting DoD, NASA, or DARPA programs
• Experience performing risk management, test planning, and/or proposal development
• Experience shaping and executing business development efforts
• Model-Based Systems Engineering Skills, including: 
  • Candidate must have experience with Cameo/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, and/or other system modeling tools.
  • SysML experience in developing Block Definition Diagrams (BDDs), Internal Block Diagrams (IBDs), Activity Diagrams, and others. 
  • Candidate must have experience modeling a system using the Object-Oriented SE Method (OOSEM) or MagicGrid methodologies. 
  • Object Management Group (OMG) Certified System Modeler Professional (OCSMP) certification - any level

Security Requirements

Candidate must be a US Citizen and possess (and be able to maintain) a Final Secret Clearance or meet the eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance.
