Davidson is distinguished in the aerospace and missile defense industry, in part, because of its excellence in hiring exceptional experts, engineers and software developers dedicated to delivering advanced, intelligent technology solutions in defense of our nation.

Davidson Technologies is seeking a Systems Engineer in Huntsville, Alabama.

The Systems Engineer will lead cross functional efforts in developing system level architecture and requirements that shape Missile Defense Agency (MDA) incremental capabilities. The candidate will employ Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to evaluate architectural impacts on conventional and advanced threat scenarios, including ballistic, aero maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper glide, and countermeasure systems.

Job Responsibilities:
•Lead cross functional teams in creating system level architecture and requirements.
•Apply MBSE to conduct functional and behavioral analyses for MDA mission areas.
•Develop system of systems requirements through trade studies and analyses.
•Author Change Notices (CNs) to MDA system specifications covering functional, interface, and performance requirements.
•Produce architectural models, interface definitions, and traceability matrices from system to element level.
•Deliver technical briefings, CNs, and other deliverables for internal and MDA stakeholder reviews.

Job Requirements:
•Degree in an engineering classification, mathematics, or Physics: Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D.
•10-20 years of related work experience
•Proven background in architecture development, functional decomposition, and allocation of requirements (performance, functional and interface).
•Extensive experience using MSOSA (Cameo) and DOORS for requirements management and modeling.
•Demonstrated familiarity with at least one Missile Defense Agency (MDA) domain, such as:
- Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD)
- Glide Phase Intercept (GPI)
- Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS)
- Fire Control systems
- C2BMC (Command & Control, Battle Management, and Communications)
- MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF)
•Ability to analyze complex problems, develop solutions, and articulate concepts in written papers, presentations, and group discussions.
•Strong oral and written communication and experience presenting technical material to both technical and non technical audiences.
•Capable of working autonomously as well as collaboratively within a small team environment.
•Proven track record of working closely with customers to understand needs, gather requirements, and deliver solutions.

Desired Competencies:
•Demonstrated experience modeling or simulating missile defense applications or similar domains: air combat, air defense, intercept of ballistic targets, intercept of non- ballistic targets, space vehicles, sub orbital mechanics, etc.
•Knowledge of ballistic and advanced threat systems: Aero maneuvering, Hypersonic, Hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.
•Modeling and analysis experience in aspects of the missile defense system: Aegis Weapons Systems, Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF), Kill vehicles, interceptors, countermeasures, Systems engineering experience with large, complex systems

Clearance Requirements:
Must currently hold or be able to obtain an Active DoD Secret Clearance
