About The Position

CEdge is seeking an expert-level Spectral Integration Engineer in Chantilly, Virginia. The role focuses on engineering and deploying a spectral exploitation environment and integrating it into the broader NSG TCPED Enterprise. The environment will support image scientists in processing, analyzing, and exploiting literal and non-literal data. The engineer will work with systems engineers, image scientists, and developers to ensure applications and systems interoperate, deliver end-to-end mission solutions, and maintain the integrity of the system-of-system enterprise. A TS/SCI security clearance is required, or the ability to obtain SCI and pass a polygraph. The engineer will advise the Government on vision, strategy, plans, needs, requirements, processes, and capability development; help translate mission and customer needs into systems and capability requirements and solutions; and support systems integration. The role also includes requirements and architecture traceability, workflow and scheduling improvement, strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management, and interface design. The engineer will lead establishment of an integrated spectral exploitation PED environment for image scientists to use advanced tradecraft tools with literal and non-literal datasets. CEdge describes itself as an IT consulting firm and strategic business partner serving federal and state government and commercial enterprises. The company emphasizes an integrity-based, collaborative culture focused on growth and ethical services.
