Clearance Requirement:Secret (TS/SCI preferred)
Employment Type: Full-time
Position OverviewXSITE LLC is seeking a Lead Systems Engineer / Platform Architect to set technical direction and own the architectural baseline for submarine platform capabilities at the hardware–software boundary. Youll operate as a technical authority and chief integrator—driving requirements, architecture, and interface governance; coordinating cross-discipline teams; and serving as the primary liaison with government stakeholders and shipboard integration teams. This role emphasizes leadership, decision-making, and stakeholder alignment over hands-on implementation.
What Youll Do
- Own the technical baseline: Define and evolve CONOPS, system architecture, and interface control; maintain traceability from mission needs to verification evidence.
- Lead integration by influence: Orchestrate HW/SW integration across labs, SIL/HIL, and shipboard environments; set entry/exit criteria and readiness gates.
- Governance & decision-making: Chair or support design reviews (SRR/SDR/PDR/CDR), TIMs, CCBs, and technical risk boards; run trades and document decisions.
- Requirements leadership: Establish verification strategies and allocation; ensure requirements and ICDs remain synchronized with delivered capability.
- Stakeholder liaison: Serve as the primary technical POC with Navy customers, primes, and suppliers; align roadmaps, constraints, and test/sealift schedules.
- Quality & reliability oversight: Direct teams building diagnostics, regression suites, and observability; ensure platform reliability and performance targets are met.
- Digital/MBSE leadership: Guide SysML modeling, model governance, and alignment with requirements/data artifacts (e.g., DOORS/Jama Cameo/MagicDraw).
- Cyber & networks coordination: Oversee integration for tactical networks and platform cyber posture (RMF/ATO considerations, DISA STIG/SRG alignment).
- Plan the lifecycle: Shape the SEMP, V&V/TEMP approach, integration plans, and sustainment strategies; measure progress with meaningful technical metrics.
Note: This is a leadership/architect role. Hands-on coding or bench work is the primary focus (though you should be able to read logs, designs, and code when needed).
