The Role Peraton is seeking an experienced Requirements Traceability & Integration Engineer within our BNATCS Architecture and Systems Engineering group to perform the integration, traceability, and baseline management of requirements across a large-scale federal program. As a key contributor on a multi-vendor systems integrator program, you will ensure requirements from the government customer, internal teams, subcontractors, and vendors are captured, harmonized, and maintained as a single coherent baseline - resolving conflicts, closing gaps, and maintaining the traceability thread from mission intent to allocated responsibility.

You will be part of a team responsible for system-of-systems integration, requirements traceability and integrity across the program, V&V support, and the development of program-wide standards and templates. This is a hands-on senior engineering role - you will be expected to own assigned tasks, produce high-quality artifacts, and operate independently, while providing advisory guidance to leadership and stakeholders when needed.

This position is on-site in Herndon, VA.

Key Responsibilities
* Perform requirements decomposition and allocation across the integrated system architecture, mapping high-level mission requirements to specific components - custom-developed, COTS, GOTS, and third-party vendor systems - with clear ownership and accountability
* Design and implement requirements schemas that establish the structural foundation for traceability across the program, ensuring consistent taxonomy, attribute definitions, and linkage conventions that support end-to-end traceability and audit readiness
* Understand and apply the relationship between requirements and enterprise architecture artifacts - including DoDAF views and diagrams - to ensure requirements are grounded in and traceable to the broader architectural context; contribute to the program's evolution toward a digital engineering ecosystem where requirements, architecture, and verification evidence are interconnected and model-driven
* Establish and enforce requirements quality standards - completeness, correctness, consistency, testability, feasibility, and unambiguity - across all requirements authored by internal teams, subcontractors, and vendors
* Develop and maintain an integrated requirements baseline that harmonizes customer, derived, interface, and vendor/subcontractor requirements into a single authoritative source of truth; identify and resolve conflicts, gaps, overlaps, and ambiguities across organizational and vendor boundaries
* Build and maintain end-to-end bidirectional traceability - from mission needs through system requirements, subsystem allocations, design artifacts, test procedures, and verification evidence - ensuring coverage is complete, current, and audit-ready at all lifecycle stages; maintain allocation matrices tracking ownership and compliance status across all contributors
* Define and manage interface requirements and interface control documents (ICDs), ensuring data exchanges, protocols, performance expectations, and behavioral contracts are fully specified, baselined, and enforced; proactively identify and drive resolution of integration issues, discrepancies, and gaps that could affect system coherence or compliance
* Conduct requirements impact analysis for proposed…
