Candidates should have experience with developing large, complex systems. Experience in model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and MBSE tools

Preferred Qualifications
Prior C2BMC experience. Experience working within an Agile development environment; domain experience in both Space and Missile Defense; and experience with Systems Analysis, Model-Based System Engineering, Architecture development, Virtualization, Containerization, and Cloud Computing principles. Demonstrated experience working in large multi-site software development efforts including external interface development. Demonstrated experience conducting or leading Analysis of Alternatives, Trade Studies and/or Design Evaluations.

Experience designing large command and control and/or weapon systems About C2BMC: The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is the integrating element of the Missile Defense System.

It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, to see the battle develop collectively, and to dynamically manage designated networked sensors and weapons systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC supports a layered missile defense capability that enables an optimized response to threats of all ranges in all phases of flight.

C2BMC is the force multiplier that globally and regionally networks, integrates, and synchronizes autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations to optimize performance. C2BMC is an integral part of all system ground and flight tests, which verify and exercise all current and future missile defense system capabilities. "
