　　We have an exciting opportunity for a Staff Systems Engineer (Architecture, Modeling and Requirements) in our MQ-1C Engineering group at General Atomics - ASI.

　　Under general directions with limited review, this position is responsible for applying traditional and innovative systems engineering approaches to resolving unusual or complex engineering problems. Applies specialized knowledge, skills and experience to define, allocate, analyze, design, verify and validate systems, subsystems and their associated functional capabilities. Assignments are normally outlined in terms of overall objectives and reviewed periodically with stakeholders. Initiates the planning of engineering projects and develops innovative designs or modifications to meet project goals. Independently performs difficult/complex engineering work with instructions as to the general expected results. Documents findings, communicates results to engineering staff, makes technical presentations, and may represent the organization as the prime technical contact on small contracts or special feature/capability projects.

　　DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

　　Formulate plans and oversee the development of new system capabilities/features from concept to fielding.

　　Conduct stakeholder requirements elicitation, analysis and definition.

　　Perform analysis of stakeholder requirements to decompose and allocate requirements to lower-levels of specification (system/segment/subsystem/component). Ensure bi-directional traceability between requirements at all levels of specification.

　　Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) techniques to capture structural, behavioral, parametric and requirement aspects of the system.

　　Use SysML to express system requirements with use case diagram, activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, state diagrams, block definition diagrams and internal block diagrams and requirement diagrams.

　　Troubleshoot conflicting design/development requirements at all specification levels to ensure adequacy and satisfaction of requirements.

　　Maintain, manage and integrate requirements across various modeling tools and requirements management systems.

　　Collaborate with peers across various projects to promote knowledge sharing, model reuse and consistency in approach.

　　Provide technical coordination across engineering groups to facilitate the implementation, verification and validation of system requirements.

　　Prepare, review and present technical specifications.

　　Develop technical reports of findings and communicate results through technical presentations to engineering staff, management and customers.

　　Represent system engineering team at regular stakeholder meetings such as requirements change control boards, design reviews, and technical interchange meetings.

　　Participate in continual improvement of system engineering process. Define and maintain metrics to measure performance and predict future effort.

　　Develop rough order of magnitude or detailed estimates for new work based on historical data and past performance.

　　Provide support for proposals/white papers and customer interface.
