As a Senior Systems Engineer for the Advance Battle Management System (ABMS) Network Developer Program in the C2BM Engineering Department, you will work with a strong team to help lead the definition, management, and validation of requirements and technical baselines for a rapidly evolving, mission-critical networking solution. Your focus will be on Systems Engineering as it relates to network architecture, policy-as-code principles, and model-based engineering. You will collaborate closely with software, network automation, and infrastructure teams to ensure that the ABMS DI Network meets its operational goals under real-world constraints and that delivered solutions align with CI/CD practices and RMF requirements.

What You Will Do
    • Technical Baseline & Requirements

    • Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure requirements incorporate policy-as-code and automation considerations, enabling intent-based infrastructure and continuous delivery
    • Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE)
    • Update and refine the system’s SysML model to reflect changing design elements, including network components and software services
    • Facilitate model integration with network-specific data models (e.g., YANG, OpenAPI) to support policy-driven configuration of routers, switches, and firewalls
    • Configuration Management & Traceability
    • Oversee technical baselines in coordination with Configuration Management, maintaining full traceability across network architecture, requirements, and test artifacts
    • Track and confirm requirement sell-off through both manual and automated testing, ensuring delivered solutions meet the defined standards
    • CI/CD & Automated Testing Integration
    • Work with development and test teams to ensure CI/CD pipelines support automated deployment and validation of network services, security policies, and system updates
    • Partner with QA/Test engineering to define automated test cases that confirm network performance, resiliency, and RMF compliance
    • Engineering Process & Standards
    • Serve as the primary point of contact for process, plans, standards, and policy inquiries, with a particular focus on alignment to DoD security frameworks like RMF
    • Provide input on ROI and impact analysis for network automation tooling and policy-as-code initiatives, supporting broader engineering trade studies
    • Collaboration & Integration
    • Coordinate developers to ensure stable builds and helping to build automated verification solutions to enable successful integration (SWIT) of new features

Qualifications You Must Have
    • Experience performing requirement creation and management for a technical program, ideally with network or communications components
    • Background in network architecture, complex system integration, or network engineering concepts
    • Experience with DOORS/DOORS Next Gen or a similar requirements management tool, including an understanding of requirement sell-off
    • Ability to interpret and create high-level test objectives for complex systems, including network and infrastructure validation
    • Experience operating in Agile workflows, including the use of Jira

    • Experience developing SysML models for complex systems
    • Previous work on programs with complex network design or SD-WAN implementations
    • Exposure to policy-as-code concepts (e.g., GitOps, Terraform, or Ansible playbooks) and the ability to define requirements that leverage network automation and policy-driven configuration
    • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) and automated testing frameworks
    • Understanding of YANG-based or intent-based configuration approaches for large-scale infrastructure
    • Knowledge of OpenAPI or other API modeling frameworks is helpful
    • Competency in evaluating cost/benefit (ROI) analysis for advanced network automation or monitoring solutions
