Overview
i3 is seeking a Systems Engineer to support the EUAS Product Office within the Army’s PM Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS). This position supports requirements development and verification, system architecture, hardware and software integration, testing, fielding, and sustainment of UAS capabilities.
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will work with government personnel, contractors, developers, testers, and operational stakeholders to translate user needs into technical requirements, evaluate system solutions, and support delivery of interoperable capabilities. This role requires a thorough understanding of systems engineering processes, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies, and the integration of complex systems.
We are seeking a self-starter who can identify technical issues and risks, develop practical recommendations, and turn general guidance into actionable tasks. Relevant experience may include systems engineering, UAS hardware and software integration, requirements management, verification and testing, or technical leadership within an Army aviation program.
- Develop, review, refine, and maintain system and subsystem requirements, including traceability to operational needs and verification activities.
- Support requirements allocation, interface definition, and verification planning across hardware and software components.
- Support system architecture development and apply MBSE methodologies to assess requirements, interfaces, dependencies, and integration considerations.
- Review and contribute to Department of War architecture models and products using the DoDAF framework, including Project, Capability, Operational, Systems and Services, Standards, and Data and Information viewpoints.
- Work across organizations to identify future capability and interoperability needs and translate those needs into technical requirements and recommendations.
- Support hardware and software integration across UAS platforms, ground control systems, mission systems, and associated equipment.
- Coordinate with government teams, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and software developers to evaluate proposed changes, software releases, hardware updates, and interface compatibility.
- Conduct or support trade studies and technical assessments to evaluate alternatives and inform architecture and system-level decisions.
- Identify technical risks, assess potential impacts, develop mitigation strategies, and recommend courses of action throughout the product life cycle.
- Participate in Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), Change Control Boards (CCBs), technical interchange meetings, design reviews, and acquisition milestone reviews.
