JRC is actively searching for an enthusiastic, highly motivated Senior Systems Engineer with experience in testing and hydrodynamics to join our amazing Maritime and Security Team. In this critical role, you will be supporting the Navy's Strategic Systems Program (SSP) in a fast-paced new Acquisition development program for the Nuclear Sea-Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM-N) program. The successful candidate will support the integration of a cruise missile air vehicle with the Submarine Launcher, System Fire Control, and Nuclear Warhead.

As the Senior Systems Engineer, you will...

• Lead the coordination and integration efforts for Air Vehicle integration across multiple Government and Contractor organizations
• Drive coordination between the system level design activities within Navy SSP, the Air Vehicle design activities occurring with NAVAIR, and ship integration activities primarily executed by TEAMSUB
• Lead multiple, cross-team working groups to ensure design engineering teams within each of the subsystem design organizations are working to integrate designs, study and trade-off cross sub-system design implications, and coordinate interfaces including the mechanical, electrical, shock, hydrodynamic, temperature and pressure environments the system will traverse
• Spearhead technical planning, scheduling, and execution of critical design, integration, testing, and verification activities throughout the development and integration processes
• Provide leadership and management support for multidisciplinary study teams and perform study planning, coordination of modeling and simulation tasks, evaluation of study results, evaluation of contractor detailed designs, data extraction and analysis, and briefing to senior program leadership
• Support the development of system requirements, specifications, and architecture.

What you bring to the table...

• A bachelor’s degree in engineering, Physical Science, or other STEM field
• 10 years of experience in Systems Engineering and design activities within the DoD Acquisition System.
• 5 years of experience in Missile design and testing with preference for experience with Cruise Missile Design.
• An active DoD or DoE security clearance at the SECRET level (or have held an active clearance within the past 2 years)
• Experience with data analytics (e.g. descriptive statistics, predictive modeling, data visualization), and this can include significant academic projects.
• Knowledge/course work of aeronautical engineering, mechanical engineering, control theory, and/or physics.
• Experience working with multi-disciplinary teams to coordinate system design activities.
• Proven ability to prioritize and execute workload to meet requirements and deadlines and be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment conducting analysis with uncertainties or incomplete data.
• Must be capable of breaking down complex issues into simplified problem statements and laying out objective approaches to identify and compare the merits of competing solutions.

Bonus points for...

• An active DoD TOP SECRET security clearance.
• A master's degree in a related field.
• Experience with NAVAIR Systems Engineering processes.
• Experience with weapon system acquisition programs.
• Preference for experience working with PyCharm, git, BitBucket, Jira, and Confluence.
• Experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to system design activities.
