Leidos Defense Sector is seeking a Systems Engineer / Requirements Manager to support the Ground-Based Radar (GBR) Digitization Program, a major modernization initiative enhancing the nation’s missile warning, missile defense, and space domain awareness capabilities.
Program Overview
In this role, you will support the modernization of legacy radar systems across eight Ground-Based Radar sites. These systems provide continuous surveillance, detection, tracking, and reporting of missile and satellite activity in support of Missile Warning (MW), Missile Defense (MD), and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) missions.
The GBR Digitization Program is implementing a common digital backend architecture and modernizing radar front-end systems to maximize standardization, improve maintainability, and enhance mission readiness across the enterprise.
What You’ll Do
Requirements Development & Allocation — Develop, decompose, and allocate system requirements across architectures, radar back-end systems, algorithms, hardware, and software.
Traceability & Baseline Management — Maintain end‑to‑end bidirectional traceability from mission objectives to system components within the digital system model.
MBSE-Driven Requirements Modeling — Mature and maintain the digital system model using MBSE best practices to ensure alignment with mission, cyber, interoperability, and environmental requirements. Work in CAMEO Enterprise Architect.
Verification & Validation Strategy — Define V&V strategies, develop system test cases and test procedures directly within the model, and track objective evidence for design reviews. Support site V&V testing.
Interface Definition & ICD Management — Author and manage Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and interface definitions within the MBSE environment.
Stakeholder Engagement — Elicit, analyze, and translate stakeholder needs into clear, structured, and testable system requirements.
Lifecycle Engineering Support — Support the program’s three-phase contract: requirements definition, baseline establishment, and deployment of the modernized radar solution. Support design, interfaces, MOSA, and fault analysis (FMECA).
Mission-Focused Design — Ensure requirements support demanding performance needs for systems operating in austere, remote, and severe-weather environments.
