About this role

Expert-level Systems Engineers assist in leading engineering teams in a multi-discipline approach to requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis. This ensures timely and accurate GEOINT across the National System of Geospatial-intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-intelligence (ASG) and Federal Agencies. TS/SCI Clearance is required.

Day-to-day duties include directing requirements engineering, planning and traceability of user requirements, architectures, procedures, and advising on changes to solutions designs based on requirements and new technology. They capture and translate mission needs into systems requirements and support analyses and allocation to architecture components. Systems integration activities and leading Analysis of Alternatives, Trade Studies, and Engineering Assessments are key tasks.

The role operates at the level of integrating multiple Major Systems Acquisitions across organizational, agency, department, and governmental boundaries. They oversee and coordinate Senior-, Mid-, and Junior-level contractor Systems Engineers while providing expert advice on vision, strategy, plans, needs, and capability developments. Collaboration spans NSG, ASG, and Federal Agencies.

Professionals engage in strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management, and interface design. They gain exposure to DoD/IC processes, cloud infrastructures, and geospatial intelligence missions. This expert position supports advanced systems engineering in a high-stakes defense environment.
