System Engineer SME Onsite (Huntsville, AL)

An organization is seeking a System Engineer SME (Subject Matter Expert) to support the Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) program . This is an onsite role in Huntsville, AL .

The C2BMC program integrates the Missile Defense System and enables the U.S. president, secretary of defense, and combatant commanders to plan ballistic missile defense operations. It provides a collective operational picture and allows dynamic management of networked sensors and weapons systems. The program also plays a critical role in system ground and flight tests, verifying current and future missile defense system capabilities.

The System Engineer SME must have the expertise and leadership to ensure a disciplined systems engineering approach is applied to defining, developing, and analyzing system capabilities. This role involves using systems engineering tools and documentation to propose changes to user concepts of operations (CONOPS), operational concepts, and system and interface requirements in support of future BMDS capabilities, including sensor management, tasking, cueing, and discrimination architectures. It will also require coordinating multiple engineering disciplines to resolve system-level issues.

• Apply systems engineering principles to develop and refine product solutions.

• Lead and mentor complex, multi-disciplinary engineering teams.

• Analyze high-level needs and refine them into an integrated set of requirements that can be implemented in a fielded product.

• Draft and execute engineering plans within a project.
