Job Title: Subject Matter Expert (SME) Requirements Engineer

Location:

Hybrid - 2 days a week on-site - Suitland, MD

Position Summary

We are seeking Subject Matter Expert (SME) Requirements Engineer to join our team supporting a large-scale federal modernization program. This role defines, elicits, validates, and manages solution-level functional, technical, operational, security, and performance requirements across complex, interdependent systems, carrying those requirements from initial discovery through architecture, design, testing, deployment, and operations.

This is a hands-on requirements role. You'll be expected to run real elicitation sessions and produce real traceable requirements artifacts, not just coordinate meetings.

This is a hybrid role based out of Washington, DC. Candidates must be U.S. citizens.

• Plan and facilitate discovery sessions, interviews, technical working groups, stakeholder reviews, and design reviews.
• Translate business and mission needs into complete, testable, unambiguous functional, technical, operational, security, data, interface, and performance requirements.

• Establish and maintain requirements baselines and traceability from business need through architecture, design, development, testing, deployment, and operations.
• Maintain requirements status, completion, changes, dependencies, assumptions, decisions, risks, and supporting evidence.

• Analyze proposed changes and document impacts to architecture, scope, schedule, cost, testing, dependencies, security, and operational readiness.
• Support review and approval workflows for requirements changes.
• Partner with project managers, architects, engineers, cybersecurity, testers, and operations to resolve requirements conflicts and gaps.
• Prepare requirements packages, review records, traceability matrices, and recurring status metrics.

• Define templates and quality standards for requirements documentation.
• Review complex requirements work, mentor other engineers, and represent requirements management in governance forums.

10+ years of requirements engineering, business analysis, or systems analysis experience, including work on federal or comparably complex enterprise programs.

Demonstrated ability to elicit and document multiple requirement types and convert stakeholder language into measurable acceptance criteria.

Hands-on experience with requirements traceability, baselining, version control, change impact analysis, and review/approval workflows.

Experience supporting the full system development lifecycle, from planning through implementation and operations, not only front-end documentation.

Strong facilitation, analytical writing, conflict resolution, and stakeholder management skills.
