Job Summary

Technical Advisor - Systems Engineering – Performs a variety of engineering work in the development of an operable system capable of meeting requirements within imposed constraints including mass, cost and schedule. Designs and/or research subsystem interfaces to ensure that subsystems are integrated and work together to form a viable complete system. Performs functional analysis of a system to ensure it meets performance criteria and mission constraints and to feed the analysis results back to the subsystem development teams. Formulates, recommends, and directs operations and procedures to resolve engineering and/or technical problems regarding operations, staffing, and equipment utilization on a specific project or projects. Provides technical assistance and instruction relative to design problems and the resolution of construction or operating difficulties. Conducts special studies and investigations related to project activities and recommends changes as appropriate to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and meet changed or new requirements. Analyzes project requirements and provides information and instruction for operating, maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, designing, and modifying equipment as appropriate. Plans and coordinates the work of other engineers and technical personnel, with completed assignments subject to minimum review of overall results. Trains, directs, and assists the efforts of other personnel, as required, to fulfill the objectives of the assignment. Serves as organizational consultant; leads multi-discipline or cross-functional team(s). May supervise lower-level engineers. Performs all other duties as assigned.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Provides a tailored SE approach to maintain consistency and minimize impacts to operations for all site projects and mission equipment at all stages of development. Assists staff in tailoring SE approaches to provide sufficient flexibility, while precluding overly prescriptive non-value-added oversight, documentation, and monitoring.

• Develops tailored SEMPs based on the complexity, risk, and maturity of individual tasks or projects. Applies SE processes to effectively maintain system configuration, mitigate risks, and ensure requirements are met for the success of the government customer.

• [Sr] Duties include monitoring Government staff and Stakeholder mission needs, documenting, requirements and assisting with development of plans to meet those needs, including SW support to integrate new equipment, sensors, or conduct off-nominal operations. This system engineer takes a holistic approach to developing solutions, working with Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance staff to identify integrated HW/SW solutions that meet the Government’s needs. Assists with identifying and mitigating risk, resolving issues, and ensuring user/customer satisfaction.

• Additional responsibilities include mentoring less experienced staff and assisting the Government in identifying solutions to improve quality of services provided. This [SE] is a disciplined self-starter with strong organizational, time management, comprehension, and communication skills.

• Collaborates with technical and programmatic experts to tailor SEMPs to the needs of the mission and provide SE guidance for site activities and projects. Flows down program SEMP processes to create Task Order and project-level SEMPs. Assists government staff in documenting requirements, ensuring requirements are complete, dependencies/interfaces are identified, and configuration changes are documented.

• Maintains and updates the Site’s Integrated Support Plan (ISP) in coordination with the Experimental Equipment Maintenance Manager. Assists in managing obsolescence, end-of-life, and refurbishment requirements for all the

mission equipment. Supports system trade studies to fine tune requirements or select the best option among many choices. Coordinates with the Government to select the appropriate critical factors and weights.

• Maintains and updates the Site’s Configuration Management Plan (CMP) including configuration control process, SW, HW, Documentation, and Digital Engineering and MBSE models.

• Assists Government staff in developing requirements, documenting those requirements, and supporting verification and validation at all stages of system development. Assists with coordinating SE processes across various projects, resource scheduling, and optimizing use of Government resources to accomplish the mission.

• Supports Government and contractor Engineering Boards and Working Groups.

• Assists team members in using Digital Engineering and MBSE to perform trade studies and assess expected system performance. Develops Cameo MBSE models of critical site systems and supports development of a site-wide MBSE model.

• Interfaces with KBR, Government staff and OEMs to identify technical specifications and document those in their respective baseline configuration.

• Assists Program/Project Managers and staff with tailoring and implementation of appropriate SE processes

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering or other Engineering Discipline with applicable SE experience
