eidos Dynetics is seeking a senior systems engineer to serve as the Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) Branch Manager to support defense and civil space systems in the Space Division. With offices across the United States engaging in the defense, space, cyber and commercial fields, Dynetics provides responsive, cost-effective engineering, scientific and IT solutions. Space Division has projects in human spaceflight efforts and defense space platforms requiring high reliability and high quality.
As the manager of the Space Division Systems Engineering and Integration Branch, the successful candidate will provide experienced leadership and guidance to the execution of systems engineering across multiple space systems projects. The SE&I Branch Manager will apply systems engineering experience to guide systems engineers in the execution of systems engineering practices to identify challenges and formulate candidate solutions within complex, highly interdependent hardware systems and programs. The Manager will foster application of digital engineering, including CAMEO, for SE&I of space systems. The Manager will utilize their experience in the leadership and development of systems engineers within the SE&I Branch include mentoring; leading by example in ethics and attitude; coordinating staffing commitments and needs; planning for professional growth for self and personnel; keeping management informed of critical issues; and playing a key role in proposal and business development opportunities. The SE&I Branch Manager will guide space systems system engineering projects that span the systems life cycle from prototype development through as-built configurations. This includes definition and application of Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) defined processes including requirements definition, requirements updates, change requests, verification planning and execution, and acceptance testing. The Manager will guide SE&I Branch systems engineers in the execution of systems engineering standard processes and best practices, properly applied to workflows. The Manager will be required to support multiple tasks in parallel, productively contribute to and lead team environments, and communicate effectively to management, employees, coworkers, and customers. The Manager will also support specific space projects as a systems engineer responsible for their proper application and execution of systems engineering. The individual must be self-motivated and highly organized with a focus on managing customer expectations in the conduct of systems engineering with a constant goal of generating high quality systems products that exceed customer expectations. As the senior systems engineer in Space Division, the SE&I Branch Manager will establish and maintain a high standard of execution of systems engineering for high reliability space systems.
