Directly responsible for providing direct support to the Office of Geomatics by advancing the Geo Data Cooperative and the Geospatial Repository and Information Database (GRiD) programs. This crucial role involves shaping the current and future plans of these programs by developing, documenting, and allocating strategic requirements. The position is responsible for delivering senior-level engineering solutions for the most technically challenging program components, which may include providing hands-on software engineering support for various applications.

Provide Cross-Organization and Program Office integration services to ensure that discrete program and project-level solutions come together seamlessly to deliver comprehensive mission capabilities. They will also direct the development of key documentation, including Statements of Capabilities (SOCs), Capability Requirements Policy and Instructions, and System Document/Interface Control Documents (ICDs). Assist in the maintenance of policy interfaces and relationships with the Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Capability Integration and Development System (JCIDS), the Intelligence Community Acquisition Model, and other relevant systems.

Duties include:

• Provide government strategic support in leading the Geo Data Cooperative implementations including current and future partners.
• Spearhead the GRiD initiative, a collaboration between the US Army CRREL and the NGA.
• Drive system modernization by analyzing user requirements, architectures, and procedures for traceability, identifying automation opportunities, and evaluating cloud service capabilities to overcome workflow and scheduling constraints.
• Provide direct oversight in directing requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis across the National System of Geospatial-intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-intelligence (ASG) and Federal Agencies.
• Lead the advancement of 3D data production, storage, discoverability, and visualization techniques.
• Lead the evaluation of proposed changes, impacts, technical architectures and documentation, e.g. Rough Order of Magnitude (ROMs), Resilience Plans and Continuity of Operations (COOP) planning documentation.
• Translate critical government and customer requirements into technical solutions and system…
