Work will be performed on-site in Dahlgren, VA.
This position is contingent upon contract award, expected in 2023.
Job Summary: The Software Systems Engineer will provide “cradle to grave” engineering and software support to NSWCDD V dept for the SGS/AC tactical and support programs. The engineering and software support requires system engineering, software engineering, testing, and baseline management. Tactical and support programs that will be supported include, but are not limited to, SGS/AC tactical programs (current and future), Wrap Around Simulation Program (WASP), and the Coordinated Battle force Replay and Analysis (CoBRA) tool. Travel is anticipated under this work element.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Provide system of system (SoS) engineering and support will shall include participation in all technical reviews, design reviews, technical interchange meetings (TIMs), and technical working groups (e.g., Interoperability Architecture Team, Interoperability Certification Assessment Group (ICAG)) to encompass derivation of operational need to delivery of capability.
- Develop, review and evaluate engineering change proposals, white papers, interface change requests, design options, design specification changes, interface specifications, and system engineering documents.
- Perform requirements analysis, maintain data tracing requirements to design, maintain data tracing requirements to test procedures and TRs, and develop metrics for the evaluation of SGS/AC algorithms.
- Provide software development and integration for SGS/AC tactical and support programs.
- Software development shall be accomplished using SGS/AC software development and configuration management processes. The candidate shall participate in software design teams, development teams, and the Local Change Control Board (LCCB).
- Conduct code reviews for software changes, perform development testing, develop and maintain unit test procedures, provide code difference reports, and collect required software metrics.
- Recommend software upgrades or new capabilities, perform root cause analysis of TORs and TRs, develop TORs for discovered problems, and review and identify documentation modifications.
- Compile and build software releases for delivery, produce and modify build instructions, verify proper software media loading, provide inputs for installation instructions, and review and update delivered software documentation (e.g., version description documents (VDDs) and quick reference guides (QRGs).
- Provide test and evaluation (T&E) support for all SGS/AC programs.
- This support shall include participation in T&E working groups and integrated product teams (IPTs), such as the Interoperability Development and Certification (IDC) Test and Evaluation Working Group (TEWG) and Data Analysis Working Group (DAWG).
- Participate in SGS/AC tactical program independent verification and validation (IV&V), integration, and combat system testing by developing, modifying, and assessing test plans, test procedures, test reports, schedules, and scenarios.
- Conduct SGS/AC IV&V testing at land-based test sites and in the SGS/AC lab. The SW Systems Engineer shall provide situational reports (SITREPs), test logs, and test observation reports (TORs) to document testing performed and deficiencies discovered during testing.
- Conduct code inspections and analyze data collected during test events to evaluate SGS/AC performance, validate trouble report (TR) corrections, provide input for TORs, and provide information for TR closure sheets.
Baseline Management:
-
The Software Systems Engineer shall provide baseline management support for SGS/AC; which shall include combat system certification meeting support, review and comment of ship change documents (SCDs), development and maintenance of build description plans, and development of software development schedules
