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)
