Expert Level Systems Engineer

Overall Assignment Description:

We are seeking an Expert Systems Engineer to lead the charge by taking a multi-discipline approach to resiliency requirements engineering, developing resiliency solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, services development, integration, resiliency 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 GEOINT resiliency needs.

Duties include:

• Assists the Government in supporting GEOINT resiliency day-to-day tasks as required in the review, development, generation, and vetting of program and NGA studies/trades/plans and/or documents including: operational and functional requirements, system context diagrams, Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) development and process implementation Requests for Change (RFC) etc.
• Assists the Government 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.
• Assists with 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.
• Assist with plans, develops reference architectures, implementation plans, exercise plans, data strategies, and process flows for impacts to COOP/Resiliency and GEOINT Resilient Operations. Identify and apply “lessons learned” across supported NGA projects, as applicable
• Assist the Government in the refinement of customer understanding of Mission Essential Functions (MEF) and Mission areas to drive priorities and analysis of resiliency positions
• Participate in NGA, Mission Partner and Development Contractor Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and working groups to support, develop, and update program business plans, advocacy briefings, and program schedules as required.
• Assist with the facilitation of government meetings, seminars, meeting invitation, tracking, documentation, and notes, appropriate media /document security.
• Contribute Agency, Command, or Corporate level organization, and Major System Acquisition resiliency-to-requirements documentation/management expertise towards system and risk management to Mission Assurance/Resiliency program activities.
• Provide system security oversight for multiple sites and systems; and recommend, implement, maintain, and review security documents and policies, in support of current DoD and ODNI C&A /A&A requirements
• Evaluate, coordinate, and participate in GEOINT Resiliency and Mission Assurance plans and exercises.
• Supports the analyses and allocation of requirements to systems architecture components and executing programs.
• Assist the Government in the execution of the Mission Thread Analysis (MTA), identifying the tools, systems and needs required for the Resiliency Prioritization Framework.
• Assist in leading Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs), Course of Actions (CoAs), Trade Studies, and Engineering Assessments related to NGA’s Resiliency Capabilities.
• Assists the Government in strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management and interface design.
• Provides expert advice to the Government in the areas of relating vision, strategy, plans, needs, requirements, and process and capability developments.
• Oversees and assist in the coordination of work of Senior-, Mid-, and Junior-level contractor Systems Engineers
