Manage system requirements, contribute to systems engineering documentation, and design solutions that meet requirements.
Responsibilities include coordinating cross-discipline activities, participating in review boards and teams, risk management, and translating strategic objectives into executable engineering plans.
Provide technical direction for the development and testing of complex hardware/software systems and communicate with executive leadership to facilitate informed decision-making.
Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure compatibility with defined system architectures (e.g., Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)).
Contribute to the development of systems engineering documentation (e.g., System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents).
Assist with the development of system and functional requirements derived from stakeholder needs and use cases.
Design system solutions that meet requirements and fulfill functional analysis.
Coordinate the resolution of action items from Change or Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination.
Participate in Engineering Review Boards (ERB) to address technical issues, provide insights on configuration management impacts, and contribute to the resolution of engineering challenges.
Participate in Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to design new capabilities based on development and operational considerations.
Identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with system development, ensuring compliance with risk management plans and stakeholder requirements.
Communicate complex systems engineering concepts, progress, risks, and mitigations to executive leadership to enable informed decisions.
Preserve system baseline integrity via change control, requirements traceability, and verification across the lifecycle.
Support the planning, test analysis, and system definition approval as part of Government authorization processes.
Provide technical direction for development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing complex hardware/software systems, including requirements analysis, system architecture, and end-to-end flow analysis.
