Responsibilities for this Position
ROLE AND POSITION OBJECTIVES:
The System Engineering & Integration Team (SE&IT) is seeking a Responsible Systems Engineer (RSE) to join the System Concepts and Requirements (SC&R) team in Huntsville, AL. The successful candidate will lead cross-functional teams to develop system level architecture and requirements to influence Missile Defense Agency (MDA) incremental capability. The candidate will use Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to evaluate architectural impacts through functional and behavior analysis for the defeat of conventional and advanced Threats (i.e., ballistic, aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.) systems within the (MDA) mission areas. The RSE will collaborate in an MBSE environment to develop system-of-systems requirements via system/component trade studies and analysis, and lead the development of Change Notices (CNs) to MDA’s system specification to include functional, interface and performance requirements, architectural models, interface definitions, and support Trace verifcation from System to Element level requirements. The RSE will develop and deliver products (i.e., technical briefings, CNs) to support internal and MDA stakeholder reviews.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
The RSE must demonstrate a strong technical background in architecture development, functional decomposition and allocation of requirements (performance, functional and interface definition) with system-modelling tools. Candidate must have strong prior experience with use of MSOSA (Cameo) and DOORS and demonstrated knowledge in any of the MDA domain areas; including Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF). The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to think critically and capture concepts in papers, presentations and discussions. The individual must possess good communication/presentation skills and be capable of working both independently and within a small team environment. The successful candidate will work in close coordination with the customer.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Demonstrated experience modeling or simulating missile defense applications or similar domains (air combat, air defense, intercept of ballistic targets, intercept of non-ballistic targets, space vehicles, sub-orbital mechanics, etc.). Knowledge of ballistic and advanced threat systems (i.e., aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.). Modeling and analysis experience in aspects of the missile defense system (e.g., Aegis Weapons Systems, Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF), kill vehicles, interceptors, countermeasures, Systems engineering experience with large, complex systems.

About General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc
At General Dynamics Mission Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, we develop mission critical C4ISR solutions across the land, sea, air, space and cyber domains, but that doesn’t tell our whole story.
When downed pilots are isolated in enemy territory, our equipment gives them a lifeline to call home. When a student opens a textbook to learn about the universe, they’re looking at data and pictures sent using our technology. When the government needs to share crucial top-secret information, our products help them keep this information out of the wrong hands. When sailors need to locate underwater mines, our technology allows them to find explosives with unmanned underwater vehicles.
Delivering C4ISR technology is what we do but we think why we do it is more important.
What you'll do
- The Responsible Systems Engineer (RSE) will lead cross-functional teams to develop system-level architecture and requirements for the Missile Defense Agency. They will utilize Model Based Systems Engineering to evaluate architectural impacts and collaborate in an MBSE environment.
