Define, analyze, validate, and manage software requirements for DoD subsea robotic systems. Develop traceability, ICDs, data models, and verification plans using RM tools. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on architecture, interfaces, V&V, cybersecurity, and configuration management; support technical reviews and customer communication.
The Software Requirements Systems Engineer supports the development, integration, and delivery of advanced subsea robotic systems for U.S. Department of Defense programs. This role focuses on defining, analyzing, validating, and managing software requirements across the full engineering lifecycle. The engineer collaborates closely with multidisciplinary team – including systems, software, hardware, controls, and test engineering – to ensure that mission‑critical subsea robotic capabilities meet operational, environmental, and cybersecurity requirements. The ideal candidate combines strong systems engineering discipline with experience in developing software for complex autonomous or robotic platforms operating in maritime domains.
Responsibilities- Lead the development, decomposition, and management of software requirements derived from system‑level requirements, CONOPS, stakeholder inputs, and DoD program needs.
- Conduct requirements analysis, traceability, allocation, and verification planning using industry‑standard tools (e.g., DOORS Next, Jama Connect, Cameo, CRADLE).
- Collaborate with software engineering teams to ensure requirements are implementable, testable, and aligned with architectural, interface, and design constraints.
- Develop and maintain system and software interface control documents (ICDs), data models, and message definitions for subsea robotic systems.
- Support the definition of behavior models, use cases, and functional architectures for autonomous underwater systems.
- Participate in technical reviews, including SRR, SFR, PDR, CDR, and TRR, providing artifacts and technical justification.
- Work closely with systems integration and test teams to define verification and validation strategies for challenging undersea environments.
- Ensure requirements and system behaviors comply with DoD cybersecurity, safety, and program‑specific standards.
- Perform impact analyses for requirement changes and support configuration management activities.
- Interface with customers, program management, and cross‑functional engineering organizations to communicate requirements status, risks, and technical decisions.
SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Works with program leadership to ensure that systems engineering tasks, specifically those affecting software requirements engineering products, are completed in a timely manner, including tasking engineering personnel to complete analyses, trade studies, tests, etc.
ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years of experience in systems engineering or software requirements engineering within aerospace, defense, robotics, or autonomous systems.
- Strong proficiency in requirements management tools (e.g., CRADLE, DOORS Next, Jama-Connect, Cameo).
- Demonstrated experience developing software requirements for complex, safety‑critical, or autonomous systems.
- Ability to interpret system specifications, architectural models, and interface definitions.
- Understanding of systems engineering processes (INCOSE SE Handbook, NASA Systems Engineering Handbook, Naval Systems Engineering Guide, or similar).
- Experience supporting verification and validation planning for multi‑domain systems.
- Assist with risk identification, mitigation planning, and configuration control activities related to system and software requirements.
- Provide technical input to customer briefings, project plans, and program reviews as required.
- Ability to work in a highly regulated environment and produce compliant engineering documentation.
- U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Robotics, or related discipline.
- Experience with subsea or maritime systems, including AUVs, ROVs, or UUVs.
- Familiarity with model‑based systems engineering (MBSE) methods and tools (e.g., Cameo, Rhapsody).
- Knowledge of autonomy algorithms, perception systems, or underwater communications.
- Experience working directly with DoD acquisition programs (ACAT programs, S&T initiatives, or rapid prototyping).
- Background in Agile software development environments.
- Understanding of DoD cybersecurity requirements (RMF, STIGs).
- Active DoD security clearance.
