Credence has an immediate need for a Systems Engineer to support Army PM PNT.

Overview

• Develop, implement, and maintain systems engineering processes and documents (i.e., systems engineering plans (SEPs), configuration management plans, risk management plans, and integrated master plans) to support the PM PNT products.  This support includes direct system engineering, risk management, integrated master scheduling, and program management support. 
• Attend PM PNT program reviews (i.e. Software Specification Review (SSR), Systems Requirements Review (SRR), System Functional Review (SFR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Production Readiness Review (PRR), Functional Configuration Audit (FCA), and Physical Configuration Audit (PCA)), including pre- and post-review events; attend IPT and working group meetings; and provide recommendations for system engineering, testing, and other improvements.
• Provide systems engineering support for classified and unclassified PM PNT products and documentation including: risk identification and management; system configuration management; concept development; requirements analysis, development, derivation, and documentation; systems design and architecture; modeling and simulation; integration, test, and evaluation; hardware and software validation; host platform integration support; and field demonstrations.
• Provide system engineering activities to manage, implement, conduct, review, and update documentation to integrate classified and unclassified PM PNT products with client systems on Army platforms.  This includes taking into consideration such factors as operational benefits and constraints; integration; interoperability with current and emerging warfighting capabilities; sustainment; and doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF) impacts.  This support shall be provided IAW DoD guidance and regulations and the systems engineering principles of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 1220.
• Develop, review, and update systems engineering processes and documents, such as the: SEP, configuration management plans, risk management plans, Department of Defense architecture framework (DoDAF) products, and assist in the development of integrated master plans and deliver them according to PM PNT product IMS. 
• Review and provide inputs for acquisition documentation for staffing through PM PNT leadership.
• Support concept development, sensor design, system design, system architecture, hardware, software, and network integration, host platform integration, modeling and simulation, test and evaluation, hardware and software validation support, experimentation and demonstration of PM PNT products or technologies through attendance and providing recommendations at product IPT meetings, working groups, and engineering meetings. 
• Identify and assess improvements to existing products and applications as well as requirements, materiel solutions, and applications for emerging PNT technologies and augmentation technologies, strategies, tactics, and training to meet PNT requirements and support all phases of a system’s program life cycle to ensure the system is technically achievable within PM PNT identified product cost goals and schedule.
• Attend PM PNT program reviews (i.e., software specification review, system requirements review, system functional review, preliminary design review, critical design review, production readiness review, functional configuration audit, and physical configuration audit) including pre- and post-review meetings; attend IPTs and working groups; and provide inputs and recommendations for engineering, testing, and other improvements.
• Provide input into the development of SOOs, SOWs, PWSs, performance specifications, associated solicitation documentation, and provide technical advice and assistance regarding proposal evaluation.
• Review data artifacts for acceptability and ensure the product-data relationships are maintained and establish and maintain database(s) to assist PM PNT staff with developing and tracking PNT requirements at all levels to support customer requirements analysis, product planning, system engineering support and configuration management.

Expected duties include but are not limited to...

• Supporting Director of Systems Engineering initiatives such as establishing and updating standards and interfaces, supporting knowledge management definition and implementation, and establishing digital engineering policy
• Leading and supporting evaluations of complex problems to provide data for O6 decision points
• Duties necessitate significant critical thinking, the initiative to seek out information from other subject matter experts, and the independence to manage tasks toward overarching intent while keeping awareness of when leadership’s input is necessary to determine the next steps of a project

Requirements

• Active secret security clearance is required
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or systems engineering field with ten years’ (10) experience, or a master’s degree with eight years’ (8) experience in systems engineering for DoD systems

Salary Range: $160,000- $200,000 annually. Actual compensation will be determined based on the selected candidate's experience, education, skills, and overall qualifications.
