Subsystem Chassis Lead Role: This is a Subsystem Chassis Lead and the candidate should have Systems Engineering experience. The candidate will support requirements allocation from Subsystem functional element level to component (Board Level) and executable level (FPGA and Firmware - Embedded SW). The engineer must understand the system level requirements and flow down to lower level assemblies what their requirements are. Thus, familiarity with small system chassis design, printed circuit board design, FPGA design, and FW design is highly desirable. Familiarity with Ops Con (Concept of Operations, sequence and state diagrams), DOORS (requirements management application), and ABD (Architecture Based Design, requirements definition and flow down) is desired. Assist with development and validation of the system requirement and lead the conduct of the Chassis First Article Test Plan and requirement sell off to the customer. Must have experience with Project Planning and Earned Value Management and resource planning. Small systems experience is desired because the Subsystems Chassis can be thought of as a small system (processor, power system, card cage/mechanicals) and part of a larger system. The candidate will also assist the Test Director with test procedure development and test plan execution of their subsystem in a system environment. This position may require occasional �off-shift� support.
