Description

Avalore is  looking for talented Systems Engineers (SE) with Post-Quantum engineering and algorithm evolution experience.

Responsibilities:

• Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) – Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), etc.
• Assist with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components.
• Coordinate the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination.
• Participate in Integrated Product Teams to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations.
• Allocate real-time process and error budgets to systems and subsystem components.
• Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions.
• Define the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan.
• Develop system design solutions that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis.
• Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structures, work packages, and the integrated master plan.
• Participate in the development of system engineering documentation, such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
• Participate in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle
• Derive an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred, and implied as essential to system effectiveness from system requirements.
