Responsibilities
Make the world’s most advanced development program supporting nuclear delivery systems (NDS) even smarter
As an Advanced Systems Engineer for our Development Programs within the Strategic Weapons Control (SWC) portfolio, you’ll be a member of a cross functional team responsible for a critical national security program dedicated to modernizing our nation's nuclear deterrent
This project supports the advanced development of nuclear delivery technologies, subsystems, and components for Navy reentry systems
You will be part of a team working to reduce operational and technological risk by developing and maturing technologies through a series of experiments
This effort includes the development of Government Reference Design (GRD) experimental reentry bodies to evaluate and demonstrate new technologies in areas such as Aeroshell, Fuzing, and Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC)
Performing requirements analysis, functional analysis, system design, trade studies, systems integration, and verification for advanced reentry systems and subsystems
Identifying, analyzing, and resolving system design weaknesses in experimental designs
Developing and evaluating systems to ensure designs meet governmental security and performance specifications
Generating technical engineering products, including interface definitions, system models, and security documentation, using appropriate standards and tools
Researching and analyzing data, including vendor products and advanced materials, to determine the feasibility of design or application in support of program objectives
Contributing to the framework that will shape future nuclear delivery systems
Qualification
Required
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, Technology or Mathematics field
Also requires 2+ years of job-related experience, or a Master's degree and 6 months of job-related experience
