Performs technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems. Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.

Tasking will include review of security alerts from CISCO, Windows, IAVMs and making recommendation to harden the MQ-8C system.  Candidate will be expected to support SW Static Code Analysis and disposition results.  In addition, the candidate will support execution of SE tasking thru the entire DoD development lifecycle.  Comfortable with and knowledge of SW, Systems Engineering methodology, and Cyber engineering would be helpful in this position.  Previous experience with requirements, architectures, integration, & application of Cyber

mitigations in DoD programs would also be helpful to the candidate. 

This role can be filled at either the Engineer or Principal Engineer Level.
