About this role
Expert-level Systems Engineers assist in leading engineering teams using a multi-discipline approach to requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis. They ensure timely and accurate GEOINT across the National System of Geospatial-intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-intelligence (ASG) and Federal Agencies.
Daily duties involve assisting the Government in directing requirements engineering and solutions engineering across NSG, ASG and Federal Agencies. This includes planning, analysis and traceability of user requirements, architectures, procedures and problems to automate or improve systems. Professionals also review cloud service capabilities, workflow and scheduling limitations.
Team members advise the Government on proposed changes to solutions designs based on requirements analysis and new technology. They capture and translate mission and customer requirements into systems and capability solutions. Work supports analyses, allocation of requirements to architecture components and systems integration.
In this environment, experts lead Analysis of Alternatives, Course of Actions, Trade Studies and Engineering Assessments. They assist in strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management and interface design. Professionals oversee and coordinate Senior-, Mid- and Junior-level contractor Systems Engineers across organizational boundaries.
Opportunities involve providing expert advice relating vision, strategy, plans, needs, requirements and capability developments. Operations occur at the level of integrating multiple Major Systems Acquisitions across agency, department and national boundaries. This role advances complex systems engineering in DoD/IC environments.
