Auria is looking to hire a System Engineer SME to support the Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) program. This role is ONSITE in Huntsville, AL. The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program integrates the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, to see the battle develop collectively, and to dynamically manage designated networked sensors and weapons systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC is the force multiplier that globally and regionally networks integrate, synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations to optimize performance. This program is integral to all system ground and flight tests, which verify and exercise all current and future missile defense system capabilities. The Systems Engineer must have expertise and leadership to ensure a disciplined system engineering approach to defining, developing, and analyzing system capabilities. Based on understanding the design and results of comparisons, use relevant systems engineering tools and documents to explore, understand, and propose changes to systems engineering analysis, user CONOPS, system operational concepts, and system and interface requirements specifications in support of C2BMC. Work towards future BMDS capabilities, including sensor management, tasking, cueing, and discrimination architectures. This role involves coordinating engineering disciplines to resolve system-level issues and problems.
