Responsibilities

  • Analyze user requirements, concept of operations documents, and high-level system architectures to develop system requirements specifications.
  • Analyze system requirements and lead design and development activities.
  • Guide users in formulating requirements, advise on alternative approaches, and conduct feasibility studies.
  • Provide technical leadership for integrating requirements, design, and technology.
  • Incorporate new plans, designs, and systems into ongoing operations.
  • Develop technical documentation, system architecture documentation, and system design documentation.
  • Guide system development and implementation planning through assessment or preparation of system engineering management plans and system integration and test plans.
  • Interact with the Government on systems engineering technical considerations and associated problems, issues, or conflicts.
  • Maintain responsibility for the technical integrity of work performed and deliverables associated with the systems engineering area of responsibility.
  • Communicate with program personnel, government overseers, and senior executives.
  • Manage system and derived requirements to ensure production systems are compatible with defined system architectures, including Department of Defense Architecture Framework and service-oriented architecture.
  • Contribute to systems engineering documentation, including Systems Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
  • Assist in developing system and functional requirements and allocating them to hardware, software, facility, and personnel components.
  • Coordinate resolution of cross-discipline action items from Configuration Control Board meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews.
  • Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design capabilities based on development and operational considerations.
  • Allocate real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components.
  • Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions.
  • Define methods, processes, and evaluation criteria for verifying systems, subsystems, and work products against requirements in a written plan.
  • Develop system design solutions that satisfy system requirements and fulfill functional analysis.
  • Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structures, work packages, and the integrated master plan.
  • Participate in interface definition, design, and configuration changes among affected groups and individuals throughout the lifecycle.
  • Derive stakeholder needs and essential functions from system requirements.
  • Derive lower-level requirements from higher-level requirements and ensure they are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable.
  • Participate in establishing and gaining approval for system or component definitions, including requirements, designs, interfaces, and test procedures, as a common reference for hardware and software developers.
  • Develop derived requirements for information assurance services, basic information assurance mechanisms, and security mechanism technologies, including passwords, cryptography, discretionary and mandatory access control, hashing, and key management.
  • Implement comprehensive service-oriented architecture solutions.
  • Implement operational, technical standards, and systems and services views for architectures using applicable Department of Defense Architecture Framework standards.

  • Support planning and test analysis for Department of Defense and other government certification and accreditation processes.
  • Support development and review of Joint Capability Integration and Development System documents, including Initial Capability Documents, Capabilities Description Documents, and Information Assurance Strategies.
  • Provide technical direction for development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of complex hardware and software system components, including requirements elicitation and analysis, functional allocation, requirements reviews, concepts of operation, interface standards, system architectures, technical and non-technical assessment and management, and end-to-end flow analysis.
  • Develop scenarios and an operational concept describing interactions among the system, user, and environment to satisfy operational, support, maintenance, and disposal needs.
  • Conduct quantitative analysis of non-functional system performance, including reliability, maintainability, vulnerability, survivability, and producibility.
  • Establish and follow formal procedures for coordinating system integration among multiple teams and ensuring complete interface coverage.
  • Conduct or approve end-to-end system trade analyses to optimize lifecycle operations by balancing non-functional system performance areas.
  • Use validated models, simulations, and prototyping to mitigate risk and reduce system development cost.
  • Periodically review and control the evolving configuration of hardware and software components and associated system documentation.
