2d•$135,000 - $216,000

About The Position

The Expert-level Systems Integrators support the Government by leading and overseeing the integrity of the NSG/ASG systems-of-systems enterprise. They lead and oversee planning, implementation approaches, testing, documenting, and maintaining solutions for cloud, on premise, and hybrid services, systems or subsystems using defined processes and tools. This role requires full knowledge of and familiarity with the Corporate Enterprise Architecture (CEA) to provide a total systems perspective, including a technical understanding of relationships, dependencies with other corporate/enterprise systems, and requirements of hardware and software components. The Lead Systems Integrator will analyze, design, test, and evaluate network systems such as Cloud Resident computing capabilities, satellite networks, local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), the Internet, intranets, and other data communications systems. They will also plan and coordinate data management practices and assist the Government in managing system development efforts, moves, or modernization changes. This position oversees the work of Senior-, Mid-, and Junior-level contractor Systems Integrators and ensures integration across corporate/business program, segment and project plans, technical roadmaps, and schedules to achieve the delivery of capabilities and effectivities. The role involves maintaining technical roadmaps against strategic epic planning scope and completion dates, re-baselining roadmaps in response to changing agency guidance and strategies, and ensuring the integration of solution engineering across time horizons from the year of budget execution through the Future Year Defense Program (FYDP) and beyond. Support is provided for government oversight of program development and coordination of CONOPS, technology roadmap planning, architecture development, cross segment/cross Agency interface definitions, requirements definition, decomposition, allocation to and development by programs, segments, and projects, and enterprise-level verification and validation, transition to operations and retirement activities. The role also supports end-to-end system integration and acceptance necessary for Major System Acquisitions (MSAs) of corporate/business systems, program, segment, and project level technical reviews, performs technology readiness assessments, and attends Technical Exchange Meetings (TEMs) to assess enterprise integration challenges. Review of corporate/business system integration documentation for accuracy, completeness, and harmony with enterprise integration efforts is required, along with coordinating needed changes with appropriate program, segment, and project offices. Support for the transition of new corporate/business services and capabilities to operations and identification of gaps in toolsets and automation used to test and deliver those services and capabilities is also a key responsibility. Finally, the role provides developers guidance and recommendations on service virtualization and service APIs for enterprise systems, and in collaboration with Enterprise Risk Management, identifies enterprise-level risks, opportunities, and issues associated with enterprise integration and assists in risk mitigation.
