Job description

Responsibilities

Are you looking for an opportunity to influence and make a difference in the delivery of mission capabilities? What if you could find a position that is tailor made for your mix of technical expertise, mission integration and communication skills? That's why we need you, an experienced professional, to help us evaluate and guide future system architectures that enable activity-based intelligence through automated and accelerated mission delivery to our Intelligence Community customers.

• Our Chief Architect team is responsible for coordinating and supporting ground requirements and architectures in the remote sensing domain; supporting enterprise and system level requirements for future systems; supporting demonstrations and exercises in support of delivered system capabilities and mission closure; generating and presenting engineering briefings; and interfacing with numerous IC and DoW customers.
• This position requires an understanding of the intelligence community and DoW domains, along with a focus on systems engineering processes in support of end-to-end mission and services closure.
• The candidate will focus on trades, capability definition, CONOPS generation, and interaction with Mission Partners.
• The candidate will help customer acquisitions leveraging agile principles to define capability roadmaps in alignment with capability needs.
• The candidate will provide subject matter expertise for IC customer senior leadership and their DoW counterparts regarding future GEOINT, SIGINT and Multi-INT architecture requirements and planned mission capabilities.
• This includes conducting assessments of critical joint Air and Space Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) warfighter capabilities, and identifying gaps and shortfalls supporting decisions to validate and prioritize joint requirements with mission partners for future acquisitions.
• The candidate will work on solutions that reduce latencies and increase data sharing in integrated joint architectures supporting edge nodes and Sensor to Shooter (S2S) network interoperability for current and new systems and initiatives in support of expanded GEOINT, SIGINT and Multi-INT mission capabilities.
• The selected candidate will have the aptitude to assess schedules and risks, supporting readiness events for system and acquisition-level ground milestones, and may lead projects for systems teamwork, have frequent client interactions, and lead system and mission strategy development across the various ground offices.
• The candidate will have daily interaction with the customer and supporting contractors and will need to follow customer standards and processes as the program matures through the life cycle.
• The candidate will lead technical consultations, IC coordination meetings, and support to recommendation briefings.

Qualifications

This position requires an understanding of the intelligence community and DoW domain, along with a strong focus on core systems engineering processes in support of end-to-end mission and services closure.

• Must possess and be able to maintain an active TS/SCI with Poly clearance
• BS 10-12, MS 8-10, PhD 5-7
• BS in engineering, physics, intelligence, or policy related degree
• Integration and closure experience within overall IC and DoW domain.
• Detailed knowledge of customer's mission capabilities (to include GEOINT, SIGINT and Multi-INT domains) and overall space and ground architecture.
• Expertise in mission technical capabilities and system performance analysis and assessment including latency and sub-system allocations and margin.
• Experience identifying user needs and gaps, identifying potential solutions, and assessing/analyzing alternatives.
• Experience in supporting Requirements Engineering, CONOPS development, and system integration to accommodate End to End Systems Engineering.
• Commitment to recognize, understand, respect and operate effectively within various SETA, FFRDC, and Government lines of authority.

Strongly Desired Skills:

• Knowledge of customer's mission capabilities (to include GEOINT, SIGINT, and mult-INT domains) and technical familiarity with mission control and/or processing of one or more GEOINT and/or SIGINT systems, including sensor knowledge.
• Knowledge of, and experience executing, SAFe Agile methodology.
