System Engineers - Tuskegee Institute, United States - The Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State University

Description

We seek experienced, motivated, and driven engineers of multiple disciplines to join our Systems Engineering Department at the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Penn State University.

ARL's purpose is to research and develop innovative solutions to challenging scientific, engineering, and technology problems in support of the Navy, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Intel Community (IC).

Our focus is on tailoring and applying rigor to the systems engineering process in order to support realization of systems that advance technologies within the undersea systems domain.

You will have the opportunity to operate across the entire life cycle of undersea systems, from conceptual development into design and test, production, and sustainment of fielded systems.

We are expanding We have multiple needs on multiple levels to include; Systems Engineers, Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE's), and a System Safety Engineer.

ARL is an authorized DoD SkillBridge partner and welcomes all transitioning military members to apply.


You will:
Develop complex systems by applying best practices in customer needs analysis, requirements development, systems architecture and concept development, analysis of alternatives, system and requirements decomposition, detailed design processes, systems and process modeling, systems integration and test, verification planning, and execution
Collaborate with Systems Engineering and Subsystem Design Teams to learn the design and operation of our undersea systems
Tailor systems engineering processes and techniques to a wide range of technology development activities that span the development life-cycle from early technology innovation to formal acquisition
Interact and collaborate regularly with the engineering team, program management, program sponsors, and other stakeholders
Resolve or assist in the resolution of conflicts and the mitigation of risks within programs

Typical requirements include a Bachelor's Degree in an Engineering or Science discipline; 2+ years related experience. Additional experience and/or education are required for higher level positions.


Required:
Experience in application of systems engineering discipline to projects that range in complexity and in technological maturity
Inquisitive, proactive, and interested in learning new tools, techniques, and problem domains
Previous success with collaborations in a diverse, multi-disciplinary, cross-functional team-oriented culture
Demonstrated successes in presenting in front of teams or groups, or creating documentation/reports, to convey information to drive understanding, action, or decision
(Level dependent) Success in a lead role, organizing, managing, and directing, multi-disciplinary teams, while contributing and assisting in project management
(Level dependent) Success while leading or contributing to technical proposals and white papers


Preferred skills/experience:
5+years related experience
Unmanned underwater systems development
Using a requirements database environment (DOORS, Jama, etc.) to maintain complex collections of requirements and test plans
Demonstrated experience with digital engineering methodologies to include Model-Based Systems Engineering
Systems Safety Engineering
Working knowledge of Department of Defense, with particular focus on Department of the Navy systems engineering practices
Active government security clearance

Your working location will be fully on-site, located in State College, PA, with potential for occasional hybrid on-site/work from home opportunities.

This position will require occasional travel to remote locations in support of testing as part of a small team of researchers, engineers, and technologists.
