General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada is under contract with the Canadian Military to provide Engineering and Integration, Transition Software, and Cyber Security support services for the Land Command Support System (LCSS). The LCSS, or Land Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) System, is the System of Systems (SoS) that primarily supports Canadian Army operations by providing Commanders with the information and information services required to make effective and timely Command and Control decisions involving their forces. As such, it enables the Canadian Army to:
- Plan and direct operations
- Manage operational information
- Achieve situational awareness
- Exchange information.
Your Role in the Team:
You will work closely with DND, the Army, and industry partner stakeholders to identify gaps and areas of potential improvement within existing LCSS capabilities to support the end user. Working within the SoS team you will be using these insights to provide technical guidance and leadership to SoS, Mobile Domain, and Headquarters Domain teams. Due to the dynamic nature of the role and needs of the team, flexibility to work at both a broader SoS view and more detailed Product level view is essential. As a member of the SoS SE team, you will be supporting the LCSS Architects in providing the system architecture groundwork necessary for the system engineering and integration teams. This groundwork informs the development of SoS SE artefacts such as Capability Descriptions and Scope Statements, Concept of Operations and Operational Use Cases, and is based on the vision of the Canadian customer and the needs of the end user. You will also be supporting the SoS SE Manager by producing these SoS SE artefacts. You will work with DND and the Canadian Army to elicit requirements on LCSS Capabilities and identify gaps and areas of potential improvement while providing guidance and support to development and test teams with existing LCSS Capability required to support the end user. In addition, you will also need to work with the LCSS Architects at the SoS, Mobile Domain, and Headquarters Domain levels to triage key technical issues requiring architectural and system engineering input and guidance.
Your Essential Skills:
- A university degree or equivalent in Engineering, Applied Science or Computer Science
- Minimum 2-3 years’ experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or applicable scientific discipline. Previous experience or substantial exposure to Systems Engineering or Systems Architecture is highly desirable.
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively both independently and in a team environment, with minimum supervision.
- Experience and working knowledge of Requirements Management, Structured Analysis and Modelling.
- Demonstrated experience in requirements development, and developing solutions against requirements is required.
