Location: San Diego, CA (Hybrid considered)
Salary Range: $125,000.00 To $150,000.00 Annually
Clearance Requirement: Secret (TS/SCI preferred)
Employment Type: Full-time
Position Overview
– XSITE LLC is seeking a Lead Systems Engineer / Platform Architect to set
technical direction and own the architectural baseline for submarine platform
capabilities at the hardware–software boundary. You’ll operate as a technical
authority and chief integrator—driving requirements, architecture, and interface
governance; coordinating cross-discipline teams; and serving as the primary
liaison with government stakeholders and shipboard integration teams. This
role emphasizes leadership, decision-making, and stakeholder alignment over
hands-on implementation.
What You’ll Do
Own the technical baseline: Define and evolve CONOPS, system architecture,
and interface control; maintain traceability from mission needs to verification
evidence.
Lead integration by influence: Orchestrate HW/SW integration across labs,
SIL/HIL, and shipboard environments; set entry/exit criteria and readiness gates.
Governance & decision-making: Chair or support design reviews
(SRR/SDR/PDR/CDR), TIMs, CCBs, and technical risk boards; run trades
and document decisions.
Requirements leadership: Establish verification strategies and allocation;
ensure requirements and ICDs remain synchronized with delivered capability.
Stakeholder liaison: Serve as the primary technical POC with Navy
customers, primes, and suppliers; align roadmaps, constraints, and
test/sealift schedules.
Quality & reliability oversight: Direct teams building diagnostics, regression
suites, and observability; ensure platform reliability and performance targets
are met.
Digital/MBSE leadership: Guide SysML modeling, model governance, and
alignment with requirements/data artifacts (e.g., DOORS/Jama
Cameo/MagicDraw).
Cyber & networks coordination: Oversee integration for tactical networks
and platform cyber posture (RMF/ATO considerations, DISA STIG/SRG
alignment).
Plan the life cycle: Shape the SEMP, V&V/TEMP approach, integration plans,
and sustainment strategies; measure progress with meaningful technical
metrics.
Note: This is a leadership/architect role. Hands-on coding or bench work is
not the primary focus (though you should be able to read logs, designs, and
code when needed).
Travel: Occasional lab/shipyard/test-range events as program needs dictate.
Required Qualifications
– Bachelors in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Applied
Science, Physics, or related field.
– 10+ years in systems/platform engineering with 5+ years leading
multi-disciplinary teams or major subsystems.
– Demonstrated ownership of system architecture, ICDs, and requirements for
complex, safety- or mission-critical systems.
– Experience leading integration and V&V across embedded devices, onboard
servers, and tactical networks.
– Proficiency with requirements management (e.g., DOORS/Jama) and
MBSE/SysML practices and governance.
– Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; proven record
presenting to government customers and leadership.
– U.S. Citizenship; Secret clearance (TS/SCI preferred).
Preferred Qualifications
– Undersea/maritime domain experience (submarine C5I, combat systems, edge
computer).
– Knowledge of open architecture standards (e.g., SOSA, CMOS, OMS/UCI)
and deterministic comms (MIL-STD-1553, CAN, RS-422/485).
– Familiarity with DevSecOps/CI/CD at the platform level and enterprise/tactical
networking (routing, VLANs, QoS).
– Cybersecurity/RMF/ATO awareness (DISA STIGs/SRGs) and supply/supplier
integration oversight.
– Exposure to HIL/SIL, digital twins/simulation, and reliability engineering.
Success Looks Like
– A stable, scalable architectural baseline with clear, enforced interfaces and
decision records.
– Predictable integration cycles and readiness reviews that surface risks early and
retire them on schedule.
– Measurable improvements in platform reliability, performance, and deployment
cadence to the Fleet.
– High stakeholder confidence through clear communication, artifacts, and on-time
technical milestones.
– Why XSITE LLC?
