C005488 Senior Solution Engineer (NS) - THU 22 Oct

Deadline Date: Thursday 22 October 2026 Requirement: Senior Solution Engineer Location: Braine-l'Alleud, BE Full Time On-Site: Yes Time On-Site: 100% Total Scope of the request (hours): 300 Required Start Date: 27 November 2026 End Contract Date: 31 December 2026 Required Security Clearance: NATO SECRET Duties & Role: 1. System and Solution Engineering Analyse operational, functional & project requirements & translate them into implementable DCIS solutions. Define the overall technical solution and system architecture using the established DCIS Node, Module & Service taxonomies. Ensure that the resulting system delivers the required end-to-end functionality & emergent behaviour. Perform technical trade-off analyses considering performance, interoperability, security, deployability, resilience, maintainability, cost, schedule & technological maturity. 2. Model Based Systems Engineering Apply MBSE throughout the engineering lifecycle. Map project requirements against existing Requirement Models, Implementation Guidelines & Implementation Constraints. Maximise reuse of approved Modules, Services, architectures & engineering patterns. Identify gaps where existing Requirement Models or standardized building blocks cannot satisfy project requirements. 3. Complex Systems Product Ownership – Operational Nodes For designated Nodes already introduced into operational service, act as the Complex Systems Product Owner: Maintain technical ownership and system-level design responsibility for assigned operational Nodes throughout their lifecycle. Maintain an authoritative understanding of the Node architecture, configuration, interfaces, dependencies, capabilities & design constraints. Ensure that modifications to individual Modules or Services do not compromise the overall coherence, interoperability, performance, security or operational capability of the Node. Assess operational technical issues from an end-to-end system perspective & coordinate their resolution with the appropriate SMEs, Model Custodians & service organizations. Analyse requests for change, obsolescence issues, technology refreshes, security changes & evolving operational requirements to determine their impact on the complete Node. Define & maintain the technical evolution path & Node roadmap, aligned with Module & Service roadmaps & the wider DCIS Target Architecture. Identify technical debt, architectural divergence, lifecycle risks & emerging obsolescence before they become operational constraints. Initiate or recommend engineering activities required to maintain the technical viability of the Node. Provide system-level technical guidance to operations, maintenance & service-management organizations where issues require design-level knowledge. Ensure that operational experience & lessons identified are fed back into the Modularity Framework, Requirement Models & future system designs. Maintain consistency between the as-designed, as-built and as-…
