This is a full-time position requiring 1880 hours of support per year; and work is performed at a customer location.

Task Activities:

• Collaborate across MMIP-funded organizations, providing integration support to assist with T&D activities identified and specified by the Government Lead MMIP Manager. Coordinate with other offices on validated requirements and the development of trade-offs, engineering analysis, risk assessments, and implementation methods.
• Evaluate Directorate’s proposed SIGINT methodologies against existing mission requirements set for accuracy, proper configuration principles and completeness. Design and assist in implementing process improvement methodologies to engineering teams and engineering management processes that focus on how to design, develop and manage complex systems over the life cycle.
• Serve as the lead technical expert in coordination and analysis of current JIRA tickets, and develop detailed way-ahead plans to enable process completion (requirement urgency, schedule and availability of resources). Work to discover the technical problems and help identify the most probable or highest impact failures that can occur, and work to mitigate with associate teams.
• Coordinate internal technical actions, to include test and evaluation, engagement with both internal and external government and industry partners. Apply a keen focus to understanding and evaluating inputs and mission impacting considerations from Compliance, MERA, as well as the MMIP and applicable PEOs for technical scoping and resource concerns pertinent to technical strategy. Engage, assess and document external coordination.
• Support mission operations and capability development systems teams including Programs Managers, Technical Leads, Mission Leads, and Systems Engineers of MMIP systems with transitioning activities for legacy mission systems to replacement or newer technology systems and decommissioning systems which no longer provide needed functionality or which cannot continue to be sustained.
• Capture, define, and clarify user and system requirements as needed or system and process requirements derived from existing systems and processes. Coordinate the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test validation and verification reviews that require cross-discipline coordination. #MDFSP #AJCM
