Essential Job Functions:

Work across multiple program management offices, technical teams, and engineering IPTs to evaluate, synchronize, and integrate systems engineering activities across the full vehicle program lifecycle.

Develop high-level systems architectures, requirements decomposition, and engineering strategies to support implementation of system capabilities onto ground vehicle platforms.

Lead the development, coordination, and execution of the Systems Engineering Plan (SEP) and related policies and procedures in alignment with DoD, Army, and Marine Corps guidance.

Author technical sections of Statements of Work (SoW), engineering contract language, and system integration tasking. Represent the government engineering office by overseeing and managing contractor execution of engineering tasks identified in the SoW.

Support programmatic issue adjudication by providing technical analysis, requirements assessments, and architecture impacts across the vehicle program.

Represent the program office in coordination with external stakeholders including PEOs/PMs, MARCORSYSCOM, GVSC, PEO LS, OSD, and other engineering organizations. Ensure alignment of systems engineering data, integration schedules, and system interfaces.

Ensure end-to-end systems engineering integration including verification and validation (V&V), interface definition, safety analysis traceability, performance analysis, and technical review execution.

Lead requirements decomposition into system-level and subsystem-level specifications; maintain verification traceability through RVTMs, ICDs, system performance specifications, and architecture artifacts.

Support and/or lead technical reviews in accordance with IEEE 15288.2 and Army/USMC SETR processes.

Perform programmatic and project management functions such as developing RFPs, monitoring contractor deliverables, and assessing cost/schedule/performance impacts to engineering activities.

Develop, prepare, and present regular engineering status updates to PMs, DPMs, and senior engineering stakeholders.

Establish and support systems engineering policy, processes, methodologies, and tools used by the program office.

Provide technical oversight for engineering tasks including system analysis, trade studies, lifecycle cost estimation, risk management, and requirements engineering activities.

Facilitate alignment of engineering documentation for platform integration, safety confirmation, test readiness, and system acceptance.

Coordinate and manage engineering issue documentation, open item resolution, and deliverable preparation across working groups and IPTs.

Required Skills:

Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required.

Must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance.

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline (Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, engineering or computer science) with a minimum of 8 years of experience in systems engineering for complex networked or vehicle platforms.

Strong background in systems engineering processes including, Requirements definition and analysis, Requirements decomposition, Verification and validation (V&V), System architecture and interface definition, Trade studies and technical planning, Program protection and MOSA planning.

Demonstrated experience leading integrated product teams (IPTs) and coordinating technical activities across multiple organizations.

Experience reviewing and evaluating engineering deliverables including specifications, ICDs, architecture products, test plans, and V&V artifacts.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills; ability to manage competing technical priorities and work with contractors, government teams, and senior leadership.

Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project.

Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while maintaining alignment with program objectives.

Ability to travel to contractor, government, or test sites (approximately 10%).

This position is at a client site. Candidates must be willing to perform this role 100% on-site.

Desired Skills:

Experience supporting DoD ground combat vehicle development or other complex military system engineering efforts.

Knowledge of systems engineering processes applicable to Army/Marine Corps programs, including SETR and IEEE 15288.2.

Familiarity with PEO LS, MCSC, GVSC, PEO CS&CSS, or similar acquisition organizations.

Experience with safety engineering integration, functional hazard analysis, and traceability through system requirements.

Experience with vehicle system integration, subsystem architecture analysis, and engineering documentation development.

Understanding of the DoD acquisition process and its relation to engineering deliverables and technical decision-making.
