Systems Engineer; Expert

Overview

Expert-level Systems Engineers assist in leading engineering teams in taking a multi-discipline approach to 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 to ensure timely and accurate GEOINT.

• Direct requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis across the NSG, ASG and Federal Agencies.
• Plan and analyze/trace user requirements, architectures traceability, procedures, and issues to automate or improve existing systems; review cloud service capabilities, workflows, and scheduling limitations.
• Advise the Government on proposed changes to solution designs based on analysis of requirements and new technology.
• Capture and translate mission and customer requirements/needs into systems/capability requirements and solutions.
• Support analyses and allocation of requirements to systems architecture components and executing programs.
• Assist the Government in systems integration.
• Lead Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs), Course of Actions (CoAs), Trade Studies, and Engineering Assessments.
• Assist the Government in strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management and interface design.
• Provide expert advice to the Government on relating vision, strategy, plans, needs, requirements, and process and capability developments.
• Operate at the level of integrating multiple Major Systems Acquisitions across organizational, agency, department, and governmental/national boundaries.
• Oversee and coordinate the work of Senior-, Mid-, and Junior-level contractor Systems.
