NRL (c4isr) Systems Design And Development

Systems Engineer IV

Iron EagleX (IEX), a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics Information Technology, delivers agile IT and Intelligence solutions. Combining small-team flexibility with global scale, IEX leverages emerging technologies to provide innovative, user-focused solutions that empower organizations and end users to operate smarter, faster, and more securely in dynamic environments.

Iron EagleX is seeking the following to join our team in Washington, DC on-site 5 days a week to support the mission of SSDD, which is to derive system requirements from mission requirements, develop architectures in response to the systems requirements, and design and develop systems, subsystems, equipment, and implementation technologies to achieve optimized, integrated operational space and ground systems. SSDD is currently involved in the concept definition and design phases on various advanced concepts studies and projects, which will evolve into future space, aerospace and tactical C4ISR systems. Development responsibilities extend across the entire space/ground spectrum of hardware, software and advanced technologies including digital processing, as well as systems engineering. The purpose of this contract is to provide personnel to perform Systems Engineering Research and Development. These positions are contingent upon the award of a SOCOM contract. Work is expected to begin fall 2025.

Job Duties Include (but not limited to): Responsibilities:

• Conduct technical reviews and audits for assigned systems.
• Manage configuration control of classified and unclassified documents for programs/projects.
• Assist in developing and documenting systems architecture concepts, plans, implementations, and operational analyses for current and planned programs/projects.
• Develop and maintain concept plans, white papers, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS) documentation.
• Perform and report the results of Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) assessments for programs/projects.
• Generate program and technical review briefing slides for use in program/project reviews.
• Generate and provide updates to program plans and documentation for programs/projects.
• Participate in Program Requirements and Technical Reviews. The specific reviews that occur depend on the phase of development the program or project is in, such as:
  • Systems Requirement Review (SRR)
  • System Design Review (SDR)
  • Software Specification Review (SSR)
  • Preliminary Design Review (PDR)
  • Critical Design Review (CDR)
  • Technical Interchange Meetings (TIM)
  • Test Readiness Review (TRR)
• Conduct analyses of technical data packages for completeness and compliance in accordance with established program technical review readiness criteria. These data packages may include technical reports, schedules, analysis reports, design specifications, briefings, design review data packages, drawing packages, design review minutes and action item responses, test plans and procedures, and test reports.
• Analyze test and evaluation planning efforts and provide recommendations for conducting test and evaluation of systems.

Required Skills:

• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles and practices.
• Experience conducting technical reviews and audits.
• Knowledge of configuration management processes for both classified and unclassified documents.
• Proficiency in developing and documenting systems architecture and operational analyses.
• Ability to develop concept plans, white papers, and CONOPS documentation.
• Experience performing and reporting Analysis of Alternatives (AoA).
• Skills in generating technical review briefing slides for program/project reviews.
• Experience in program planning and documentation generation.
• Familiarity with various program and technical review phases such as SRR, SDR, SSR, PDR, CDR, TIM, and TRR.
• Strong analytical skills for evaluating technical data packages and ensuring compliance with review criteria.
• Background in test and evaluation planning and execution.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for participating in technical exchange meetings and working with cross-functional teams.
