Systems Engineer IV
Huntsville, AL
A seasoned professional, performs engineering assignments requiring independent evaluation, selection, and application of standard engineering techniques procedures, and criteria using judgment and ingenuity in making adaptations and modifications. Candidate should be able to develop a complete system architecture from and incomplete set of requirements through engineering analysis and team development with the customer. Provides direct, on-site support to the government’s Joint Technology Center, Systems Integration Lab (JTC SIL) in a highly visible, collaborative government/contractor work environment. Reports directly to an AAI Huntsville engineering lead. Plans for and/or participates in Hardware/Software Integration (HSI) with moderate risk or a portion of integration for high-risk programs. Performs work which involves conventional engineering practices but includes a variety of complex features such as conflicting design requirements and difficult coordination requirements. May supervise and/or conduct internal research and development projects to include material, hardware, software and electronics tests. Performs research, concept design, requirements analysis, including interpretation and decomposition of product requirements, and system design with moderate risk or a number of small programs with low risk. Provides expert knowledge of design standards and best practices for development. Represents the technical specialty in customer meetings, telephone contacts. May generate schedules and personnel requirements for a large portion of a project or for an entire project with moderate technical risks.
