About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Systems Engineer to join our team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for designing and developing innovative solutions for space-based kill chains.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conceive and develop novel threat kill chains utilizing space-based systems to meet the needs of the warfighter and intelligence communities.
  • Define and maintain the traceability between enterprise-level needs and the systems being developed to meet them.
  • Use innovative systems engineering and simulation tools to understand system requirements and performance.
  • Author system functional and performance requirements.
  • Design and refine interface messages between federated systems.
  • Work through all phases of the project lifecycle to ensure fielded systems meet the needs of the warfighter.
  • Be responsible for software implementation of proof-of-concept prototypes incorporating several engineering fields.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in systems engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, statistics, or other engineering or related discipline.
  • 10+ years of professional experience in the systems engineering of kill chains, weapons systems, or C2 systems.
  • Demonstrated experience deriving top-level requirements for a system and decomposing them down to the lower levels.
  • Strong analytical, verbal, written, and interpersonal skills.
  • Experience with higher-level programming languages (e.g. Python, C++, Java, or MATLAB).
  • Participated on teams implementing MBSE techniques and practices on programs and effectively communicated technical results to the team, leadership, and government sponsors.
  • Ability to travel up to 10% as needed.
  • Hold an active Top Secret security clearance and can ultimately obtain TS/SCI level clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Analytical understanding of multiple kill chains involving distributed assets where the target and/or assets are in space.
  • Active duty military experience related to Planning, C2, Battle Management, Fires, or Intel.
  • A Master's Degree or higher in engineering or related technical field.
  • Experience in a formal technical leadership role, leading a technical team, building modeling and simulation systems and models to assess space-based systems and space communication systems.
  • Demonstrated experience performing test and evaluation of military or intelligence systems.
  • Experience with systems-of-systems physics & effects-based simulation tools (AFSIM, NGTS, etc).
  • Systems architecting experience with UML/SysML modeling tools using associated modeling software, such as Cameo, Rhapsody, or SPARX EA.
  • Experience with modeling frameworks such as the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) or Unified Architecture Framework (UAF).
