- [Sr] Duties include monitoring AMOS Government staff and Stakeholder mission needs, documenting, requirements and assisting with development of plans to meet those needs, including SW support to integrate new equipment, sensors, or conduct off-nominal operations. This system engineer takes a holistic approach to developing solutions, working with Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance staff to identify integrated HW/SW solutions that meet the Government’s needs. Assists with identifying and mitigating risk, resolving issues, and ensuring user/customer satisfaction. Additional responsibilities include mentoring less experienced staff and assisting the Government in identifying solutions to improve quality of services provided. This [SE] is a disciplined self-starter with strong organizational, time management, comprehension, and communication skills.
- [Mid] Duties include assisting with documenting needs, requirements, and interfaces/dependencies of site mission equipment. This [SE] takes a holistic approach to developing solutions, working with Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance staff to identify integrated HW/SW solutions that meet the Government’s needs. Assists with identifying and mitigating risk, resolving issues, and ensuring user/customer satisfaction. Additional responsibilities may include mentoring less experienced staff and assisting staff in identifying solutions to improve quality of services provided. This [SE] is a disciplined self-starter with strong organizational, time management, comprehension, and communication skills.
- [Jr] Duties include assisting with documenting needs, requirements, and interfaces/dependencies of site mission equipment. This [SE] takes a holistic approach to developing solutions, working with Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance staff to identify integrated HW/SW solutions that meet the Government’s needs. Assists with identifying and mitigating risk, resolving issues, and ensuring user/customer satisfaction. This [SE] is a disciplined self-starter with strong organizational, time management, comprehension, and communication skills.
Key Responsibilities:
- Collaborates with technical and programmatic experts to tailor SEMPs to the needs of the mission and provide SE guidance for site activities and projects. Flows down ASTRO SEMP processes to create Task Order and project-level SEMPs. Assists ASTRO staff in documenting requirements, ensuring requirements are complete, dependencies/interfaces are identified, and configuration changes are documented.
- Maintains and updates the Site’s Integrated Support Plan (ISP) in coordination with the Experimental Equipment Maintenance Manager. Assists in managing obsolescence, end-of-life, and refurbishment requirements for all the mission equipment through the IMDS software package. Supports system trade studies to fine tune requirements or select the best option among many choices. Coordinates with the Government to select the appropriate critical factors and weights.
- Maintains and updates the Site’s Configuration Management Plan (CMP) including configuration control process, SW, HW, Documentation, and Digital Engineering and MBSE models.
- Assists Government and ASTRO staff in developing requirements, documenting those requirements, and supporting verification and validation at all stages of system development.

- [Sr] Deep knowledge of SE processes and ability to independently develop tailored systems engineering plans.
- [Mid] Deep knowledge of and ability to independently develop tailored systems engineering plans.
- [Jr] Familiarity with technical project planning and requirements development for research, engineering or developmental testing.
- [Sr] Minimum of 10+ years experience in providing SE support to complex projects spanning multiple Engineering disciplines.
- [Mid] Minimum of 5+ years experience in providing SE support to SW or engineering projects
- [Jr] Minimum of 2+ years experience working as an HW or SW engineer.
- Proficient with Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Project.
- Experience with developing and maintaining SEMPs, CMPs, ISPs, TRRs.

Work Environment:
KBR supports work from home when compatible with meeting contract requirements. AMOS is a dynamic work environment, and this contract supports routine operations of and maintenance of mission equipment, as well as the need to respond to real-world events. To the extent possible, schedules are forecasted in advance, but upgrades, maintenance or significant tests require personnel to be present in the telescope facilities on Haleakala or Government’s Kihei office. Candidate must have effective verbal and written communication skills; must be able to adapt communication style to suit different audiences or facilitate group discussions; develop accurate written materials to communicate information clearly and concisely.
