Architecture and Integration Sr Systems Engineer - Military veterans preferred

Job Description:  

Provide systems engineering support to a customer Architecture & Integration (A&I) program. In this capacity, the Systems Engineer (SE) will provide engineering guidance and produce technical documents to standardize processes and hardware that are system agnostic for all thread associated with the A&I midpoint capability.  The SE will explore innovative ideas, technologies, and processes to integrate into the future midpoint functional architecture (MFA). The SE will address the systems engineering challenges associated with designing, proving, and integrating midpoint next generation concepts.  The SE will support requirements gathering, system design and architecture, integration, testing, interface standards, CONOPS development, business model development, and security requirements definition for the MFA initiative.  The SE will engage with internal and external stakeholders and organization to ensure accurate documentation of current and future architectural requirements.  The SE will also provide analyses of technical alternatives as they affect cost, schedule, performance, and technical risk, to include risk analyses and trade studies. The SE will be required to document current midpoint operations and identify a migration path to a converged midpoint architecture.
