Overall Assignment Description:

Senior Systems Engineers play a key role in guiding engineering teams to apply a multi-disciplinary approach across a variety of engineering functions, including requirements engineering, solutions development, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, integration, testing, evaluation, maintainability, and analysis. These efforts span the National System of Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-Intelligence (ASG), and Federal Agencies to ensure the delivery of accurate and timely GEOINT services.

Duties may include:

• Leading and mentoring Mid-level and Junior Systems Engineers in performing tasks such as requirements engineering, solutions development, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, integration, testing, evaluation, maintainability, and system analysis across NSG, ASG, and Federal Agencies.
• Overseeing the planning and traceability analysis of user requirements, system architectures, procedures, and issues to automate and enhance existing systems while assessing cloud service capabilities, workflows, and scheduling constraints.
• Leading Mid-level and Junior Systems Engineers in developing solution designs based on detailed analysis of requirements and emerging technologies.
• Assisting the Government in capturing and translating mission and customer needs into systems and capability requirements and corresponding solutions.
• Supporting the analysis and allocation of system requirements to architecture components and implementing programs.
• Performing system integration activities to ensure seamless operation of complex systems.
