About The Position

The Senior Systems Engineer supports the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s modernization of GEOINT reporting and workflow orchestration into a service architecture. The position supports the Analysis Integrated Program Office (IPA), providing engineering services to define the target architecture, decompose capabilities into solution and program epics, document and prioritize the development baseline, integrate customers and sources, and work with the development vendor toward the planned baseline. The team primarily supports IPA leadership and also works with projects involving intelligence and geospatial analysis capabilities for the intelligence community, including Structured Observation Management Services, Analytic Modernization Services, Exploitation Services, Orchestration Services, Advanced Geospatial Services, and sensor-related requirements, architecture, and integration.

The role guides systems engineering and development activities, including requirements analysis and traceability, architecture, cloud-service capability review, workflow and scheduling constraints, and translation of mission and customer needs into system and capability requirements and solutions. It coordinates government program management customers with DevOps teams using Agile methodologies, Scrum, and Agile planning tools, and supports systems integration, technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management, and interface design.

At the broader systems-of-systems level, the engineer integrates systems, services, processes, and interfaces across major systems acquisitions and organizational and agency boundaries. The role also guides mid-level and junior-level systems engineers across requirements and solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability, and analysis across the NSG, ASG, and federal agencies. It conducts alternatives and courses-of-action analyses, trade studies, and engineering assessments. The position is based in Springfield, Virginia and requires TS/SCI clearance or the ability to obtain SCI and pass a polygraph.
