With the ever-accelerating technological advances and growing system complexity, NSA needs System Engineers to integrate systems and reduce the cost to operate and maintain systems. To meet these demands, the NSA hires and trains talented and highly motivated junior systems engineers, electrical engineers, computer scientists, computer engineers, and other related professionals.
System Engineers are hired into positions directly supporting a technical mission office or one of two Development Programs (The System Engineer Development Program (SEDP) or the Information Technology Development Program (ITDP)).
The SEDP prepares recent college graduates and junior level technical staff for a career in Systems Engineering at NSA. During the three-year program, participants will rotate assignments, attend training that covers the full breadth of systems engineering disciplines, and earn DoD DAWIA and other important credentials.
The ITDP is a three-year full-time development program designed to provide entry-level information technology specialists (that is, individuals with degrees in computer science, information systems, information technology, and related degrees and experience) the opportunity to learn the various facets of the NSA mission, including:
Systems Engineering/Security Engineering
Software Engineering
SW Project Management
System Architecture
Database Design
As a System Engineer at the NSA responsibilities may include:
requirements definition, requirements analysis and requirements management
system architecture and design
integration and testing
configuration management
risk management
decision analysis
security engineering
The ideal candidate has a desire for continual learning with excellent problem-solving, communication, and interpersonal skills who is:
motivated
innovative
well-organized
able to handle and prioritize multiple assignments
able to communicate effectively both orally and written
able to work effectively across several different functional areas in a collaborative environment
Knowledge, skills, and experience in one or more of the following is desired:
Systems Engineering principles
Systems architecture, framework, and standards
System Engineering Certifications (DoD DAWIA Certification, INCOSE)
Technology/System Readiness Assessment
Modeling and Simulation
Security Design Engineering
Developmental Test & Evaluation
