What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop and execute digital transformation strategy(-ies) in support of government customers
  . Work with stakeholders to create digital transformation strategies and generate plans/roadmaps to realize those strategies.
• Architect solutions
  . Consistent with the strategies and roadmaps, produce various levels (e.g., functional, logical, solution) and types (e.g., operational, enterprise, ecosystem/environment, application) of architecture to inform implementation. Implementation approaches will need to account for user needs (e.g., requirements, use cases) and trade space constraints such as applicable policies, regulations, and available resources.
• Support the Transition
  . Monitor, assess, and guide the transition from legacy capabilities to desired DE solutions, to include supporting relevant aspects of the acquisition process. Routinely engage with customer stakeholders to communicate the objectives, the status, and needs.
• Establish governance
  . Coordinate with stakeholders to implement executable processes and clear lines of authority/responsibility to continually manage the deployment and sustainment of digital capabilities.
• Provide integrated perspective
  . Provide expertise that incorporates the needs of Aerospace and the range of government stakeholders to ensure that advice and solutions reflect consistent, balanced, and integrated strategies based on what is best for the entire space enterprise.

What You Need to be Successful

Minimum Requirements ( Engineering Specialist):

• Bachelor’s degree in STEM or other technical discipline
• 8 or more years of increasingly responsible professional engineering roles, especially related to DE.
• Familiarity with digital engineering concepts and technologies, especially as practiced and deployed in the DoD in support of acquisition lifecycle supporting mission systems
• Knowledge of—and experience with—DE ecosystems as well as cloud technologies, services, custom and COTS Modeling Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) applications, enterprise data management.
• Position requires ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is issued by the US government.…
