Senior Systems Engineer, Maritime Theater Orchestration & Collaboration

ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to own the Left Side of the V for a true System of Systems (SoS) architecture. You are not a compliance checker or a downstream tester. You are the ambiguity killer. Your mission is not purely to design new platforms from a blank sheet of paper but to force disparate pre-existing or in-development assets to work together to operate at exactly the collision point between the customers high-level operational desires (e.g. We need a swarm of autonomous submarines working with ground sensors to patrol the harbor for a month.) and the rigorous mathematical reality of software and hardware engineering KPPs. You will write the System of Systems blueprint to make all of those systems work together. As the architect of these system of systems you will translate CONOPS into precise verifiable Systems Requirements Documents (SRDs) and lead Systems Requirements Reviews (SRRs). You will act as our trade space economist to manage complex SWaP-C budgets to ensure all physical and digital systems are aligned and can work together to achieve the customers intent. If you thrive on untangling complex multi-domain ecosystems and defining the boundaries of massive integration challenges this is your arena.

WHAT YOULL DO

• Partner directly with customer stakeholders and internal product teams to translate high-level operational desires into rigorous Concepts of Operations for multi-domain System of Systems missions.
• Lead the architectural design to integrate pre-existing heterogenous hardware (legacy platforms 3rd-party sensors and Anduril products) into a cohesive software-defined orchestration layer.
• Author own and ruthlessly enforce Inteface Control Documents (ICDs). You will help define the exact physical electrical and data boundaries required for external black box hardware to plug into our network.
• Reverse-engineer operational constraints to author Systems Requirements Documents (SRDs) for both new platforms and existing assets. You will translate the what into the rigorous how.
• Build and maintain the source-of-truth functional architecture. Map the data flows between disparate sensors comms relays and the autonomous robots as the software engineering is progressing.
• Conduct complex multi-system trade studies and analyses of alternatives to balance SWaP-C budgets against the required system capabilities.
• Own and drive the engineering teams through critical upstream milestones strictly owning the criteria and execution for System Requirements Reviews (SRRs) System Functional Reviews (SFRs) and Preliminary Design Reviews (PDRs).
• Ability to travel as required for program support proposal support and stakeholder meetings.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8 years of rigorous Systems Engineering experience with heavy emphasis on Phase A/Phase B conceptual design system architecture and upstream requirements decomposition.
• A proven track record of architecting solutions that integrate disparate legacy and third-party hardware/software into a single unified system. You must know how to wrap a black box.
• Extensive experience authoring negotiating and enforcing complex Interface Control Documents (ICDs) across physical electrical and data boundaries
• Strong analytical ability to conduct Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and manage SWaP-C across a system of systems to achieve customer intent.
• Ability to travel 20% with potential surges above 20%
• Must be authorized to work in the United States

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience operating testing documenting and analyzing complex system performance in a maritime environment
• Deep familiarity with the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and specific defense open architecture standards.
• Experience integrating subsea acoustic sensors underwater navigation and communication systems
• Experience with subsea operational procedures and equipment
• Proficiency in data analysis tools: Python MATLAB R SQL JAMA DOORs or other requirements management software
