System Engineer – Level 3
Labor Category: System Engineer (SE)
Wyetech is seeking an experienced System Engineer – Level 3 to support complex systems engineering, architecture development, integration, and modernization initiatives within the Intelligence Community.
The selected candidate will analyze user requirements, develop system requirements specifications, and lead the design, development, integration, and implementation of complex hardware and software systems. This position requires extensive systems engineering expertise, technical leadership, and experience supporting large-scale distributed architectures, enterprise systems, and mission-critical operations.
The ideal candidate possesses a strong background in systems architecture, requirements analysis, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), systems integration, risk management, and technical documentation.
Key Responsibilities
Systems Engineering & Architecture
Analyze user requirements, concepts of operations, and high-level system architectures to develop comprehensive system requirements specifications.
Lead systems engineering design, development, integration, and implementation activities.
Develop comprehensive Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions.
Develop operational, technical standards, and systems and services architecture views using applicable DoDAF standards.
Create and maintain system architecture documentation, technical specifications, and system design documentation.
Guide users in formulating requirements, evaluating alternative approaches, and conducting feasibility studies.
Provide technical leadership for the integration of requirements, design, and emerging technologies.
Incorporate new systems, designs, and capabilities into existing operational environments.
Develop system design alternatives that account for lifecycle cost, reuse, complexity, risk, scalability, and future growth.
Requirements Analysis & System Integration
Provide technical direction for the engineering, development, interfacing, integration, and testing of complex hardware and software systems.
Lead requirements elicitation, analysis, functional allocation, and system requirements reviews.
Develop concepts of operations, interface standards, and end-to-end system architectures.
Conduct technical and nontechnical assessments, system evaluations, and end-to-end flow analyses.
Develop and maintain system engineering management plans, system integration plans, and test plans.
Define software interfaces by origination, destination, stimulus, and data characteristics.
Define hardware interfaces by electrical and mechanical characteristics.
Improve integration strategies based on lessons learned and previous engineering decisions.
Coordinate integration activities across multidisciplinary engineering teams and customer organizations.
System Performance, Trade Studies & Risk Management
Conduct and approve end-to-end system trade analyses to optimize system performance throughout the system lifecycle.
Evaluate performance, availability, scalability, manageability, security, reliability, and other nonfunctional system requirements.
Use validated models, simulations, and prototypes to mitigate technical risks and reduce development costs.
Participate in Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) activities and recommend preferred solutions based on technical feasibility, assumptions, environmental impact, technology limitations, and lifecycle costs.
Develop alternative courses of action, workarounds, and fallback strategies for identified risks.
Monitor and reevaluate risks at appropriate program milestones.
Apply Earned Value Management (EVM) data to support risk monitoring and program assessments.
Identify technical dependencies and recommend mitigation strategies to improve overall system performance and mission readiness.
