Description

SAIC is seeking a Systems Engineer to join our team in Huntsville, AL.

We are seeking a highly analytical and holistically minded Systems Engineer to support the Precision Fires program.

• Hands-On DOORS Administration: Actively utilize IBM DOORS (9.7.x) to manage requirement data independently. This includes establishing traceability links, creating objects within modules, and exporting Requirement Verification Matrices (RVMs) without reliance on a dedicated DOORS administrator.
• Agile Collaboration: Work dynamically within an Agile environment, attending regular scrum meetings and leveraging Microsoft Azure DevOps (ADO) for requirement tracking and support.
• Cross-Functional Integration: Assimilate and align system requirements with other critical functional areas, specifically Software Safety, Test, and Cybersecurity.
• Technical Documentation: Author, review, and maintain accurate technical documentation and specifications.

Clearance Requirements:

• Must possess an active Interim Secret clearance with the ability to obtain a Secret clearance to be considered; ship required.

Qualifications:

• Lifecycle Expertise: Strong background supporting systems engineering across the complete software development lifecycle.
• Domain Knowledge: A solid understanding of, or direct experience working with, systems engineering throughout the Army Acquisition Life Cycle is considered a very strong plus.
• Tool Proficiency:
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with IBM DOORS (9.7.x) for active data and requirement management.
  • Experience using Microsoft Azure DevOps (ADO) for requirements support is highly desired.
• Interdisciplinary Analysis: Proven ability to analyze complex requirements and understand their cascading impacts on software testing, system safety, and cyber defense protocols.
