• Cross-Component Coordination:
  • Facilitate collaboration between different system components and stakeholders to ensure seamless integration, including mission processing, dissemination, and operations components.
  • Support the definition and management of cross-cutting mission engineering threads, expressed as solution epics and program epics, that define capability delivery
  • Provide data management and support, ensuring data strategies, provenance, and optimizations are effectively implemented.
  • Evaluate system performance and identify opportunities for improvement, including faster processing and enhanced product delivery.
  • Work with system stakeholders across the IC and DoW to test and implement innovative solutions.
• Knowledge of Acquisition Processes:
  • Support acquisition processes as needed, including contributing to independent government cost estimates and contract documentation.
  • Collaborate with contracting officers and other acquisition professionals to ensure compliance with organizational policies and timelines.
• Strategic Input:
  • Align systems engineering efforts with the organization’s long-term vision (e.g., 2035 objectives).
  • Provide strategic insights and recommendations to leadership regarding system improvements and future capabilities.

This position offers an opportunity to contribute to mission-critical systems within a forward-looking and innovative organization. The ideal candidate will have a technical mindset, a collaborative spirit, and a passion for driving solutions that enhance performance and meet mission objectives.
