You will be working on the Air Force’s flagship airborne node connecting warfighters to decision‑quality data across the DAF BATTLE NETWORK.
Job Duties:
Requirements & Baseline Management
* Elicit, decompose, and manage stakeholder needs in DOORS‑NG (or equivalent); chair requirements reviews, delta boards, and configuration‑control boards.
* Maintain the Technical Baseline and drive change packages through digital workflows, preserving model / document synchronization.

* Lead creation and upkeep of the government‑owned SysML / CAMEO model, DoDAF views, and interface‑control documents (ICDs) that capture Nomad‑Smith‑Watch interactions with the Digital Infrastructure (DI), SATCOM links, and cross‑domain solutions.
* Ensure every requirement traces to a verification method and mission thread, supporting CJADC2 and Operational Imperative #2 objectives.
* Partner with IPT leads to translate digital designs into Integration SIL builds; resolve cross‑domain, crypto, power, and data‑bus interface issues quickly.
* Feed lessons learned back into the model, ensuring the next sprint starts with an accurate baseline.
Verification & Validation Alignment
* Collaborate with Test & Flight‑Test teams to develop the Verification Cross‑Reference Matrix (VCRM) and ensure early “shift‑left” validation of safety, cyber, and performance requirements.
* Provide pre‑flight technical concurrence for Interim Authorizations To Test (IATTs) and air‑worthiness packages.
Risk, Metrics & Reviews
* Maintain the technical risk register, conduct root‑cause analyses, and brief burn‑down plans to senior DAF leadership.
* Feed schedule, maturity, and performance metrics into the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) and digital dashboards.
* Coach mid‑level engineers on MBSE best practices, Agile/SAFe workflows, and DevSecOps culture in a classified environment.
* Foster a collaborative, “model‑first” mindset across Government and industry teammates.
Required Skills:
* Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required.
* B.S. in Systems, Electrical, Aerospace, Computer Engineering—or related field (M.S. preferred) and 10 + years of systems engineering on DoD C4ISR, avionics, or open‑architecture programs, including requirements management, architecture, and integration.
* Active TS/SCI clearance.
* Proficiency with SysML modeling tools (CAMEO/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, or equivalent) and requirements databases (DOORS, Jama).
* Demonstrated experience leading multi‑disciplinary design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and managing technical baselines in a digital‑engineering environment.
* Solid grasp of MIL‑STD avionics power, data links (Link‑16/22, TTNT, OMS/UCI), SATCOM, Type‑1 crypto, and RMF / IA compliance.
Desired Skills:
* INCOSE CSEP / ESEP or DAU ENG/SAE Level III certification.
* Prior work on ABMS, CJADC2, or other open‑architecture airborne networking efforts.
* Familiarity with DevSecOps pipelines (Platform One / Iron Bank) and automated model validation (ModelCenter, Cameo Simulation Toolkit).
* Experience briefing SES / GO audiences and shaping acquisition strategy documents (AS, SEP, SEMP, TEMP).
