About The Position

Senior-level Systems Engineers guide engineering teams in taking a multi-discipline approach to 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 to ensure timely and accurate GEOINT. This role provides strategic and technical support to improve mission prioritization, alignment, and integration. The engineer will review existing programs, integrated projects, and assist in making refinements, reducing operating time, and improving current techniques. They will confer with systems analysts, engineers, programmers and others to design systems and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces. A key aspect of this role is the ability to identify risks and blockers to systems integration activities, advise the Government on course of action, and guide integrated teams to address these issues with minimal supervision. The position also involves preparing reports and correspondence concerning project specifications, activities and status. The Senior Systems Engineer will guide mid-level and junior-level system engineers in various engineering disciplines and processes, including requirements engineering, solutions engineering, and system integration. They will also guide the planning, analysis/traceability of user requirements, architectures, procedures, and problems to automate or improve existing systems, and review cloud service capabilities, workflow, and scheduling limitations. Developing solutions designs based on analysis of requirements and new technology, assisting the Government in capturing and translating mission and customer requirements into systems/capability requirements and solutions, and supporting the analyses and allocation of requirements to systems architecture components are also key duties. The role includes conducting Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs), Course of Actions (CoAs), Trade Studies, and Engineering Assessments, as well as assisting the Government in strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management, and interface design. The engineer will operate at the level of integrating multiple systems, services, processes, and interfaces within Major Systems Acquisitions across organizational and agency boundaries. The ability to solve complex problems, lead a team(s), and work independently and proactively with minimal supervision is essential.
