About the Job

Requirements

  • An active Secret Security Clearance is required.
  • A Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree from an accredited institution in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Operations Research, Business Administration, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline is required.
  • At least 5 years of progressively responsible experience in business process analysis, workflow design, software requirements elicitation, or systems engineering within a defense, government, or high-tempo technology environment, or at least 8 years of senior-level experience leading complex enterprise process discovery, systems architecture, agile requirements management, and software Verification and Validation across multi-stakeholder programs is required.
  • The ability to independently engage stakeholders at all levels, conduct structured discovery interviews, and extract actionable workflow requirements from ambiguous, high-tempo operational environments is required.
  • Expertise in developing standardized process flow charts and swimlane diagrams using Microsoft Visio, Lucidchart, or equivalent enterprise modeling platforms is required.
  • Proficiency translating qualitative business and operational needs into formal technical software requirements, including Business Requirements Documents, user stories, and acceptance criteria, is required.
  • Verbal, interviewing, and written communication skills sufficient to distill complex, multi-project workflows into clear executive diagrams and briefings are required.
  • U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a U.S. government security clearance are required.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct qualitative discovery interviews, observational shadowing sessions, and focus workshops with TR-I division leadership, Portfolio Managers, SETA staff, and technical leads.
  • Uncover and document day-to-day operational realities, implicit tribal knowledge, and unofficial shadow processes, including disparate desktop spreadsheets and manual email workarounds.
  • Map end-to-end operational workflows using Microsoft Visio or equivalent enterprise modeling tools, capturing swimlanes, handoffs, decision gates, bottlenecks, and data exchanges.
  • Identify pain points, data silos, single points of failure, and redundant administrative burdens across division workflows.
  • Lead collaborative validation sessions with interviewed staff to review, refine, and baseline workflow diagrams so they accurately represent operations.
  • Translate documented operational workflows, stakeholder pain points, and executive vision into actionable software requirements.
  • Author functional and technical specifications, including Business Requirements Documents, user stories, acceptance criteria, and process data flows.
  • Act as the technical and operational conduit between TR-I stakeholders and internal or external software engineering teams developing custom tools and automation solutions.
  • Prioritize features and user backlogs to maximize mission value, supporting iterative agile delivery cycles and rapid prototyping.
  • Establish traceability between operational problems, high-level mission goals, and granular software user stories.
  • Execute end-to-end Verification and Validation activities across newly developed or updated software tools.
  • Evaluate software against defined requirements, functional criteria, and interface specifications, including data ingestion, permission enforcement, and automated-query performance thresholds.
  • Evaluate deployed tools against operational workflows and user needs to determine whether they alleviate targeted pain points, streamline information, and support faster, better-informed decisions.
  • Identify functional defects, usability friction, performance gaps, and areas for iterative improvement.
  • Make evidence-based enhancement recommendations, document change requests, and champion user-centric refinements through subsequent development sprints.
  • Explore, learn, and master enterprise toolsets including Microsoft SharePoint, Atlassian Jira, Atlassian Confluence, and DoW-approved AI agents and automation capabilities.
  • Identify opportunities for commercial off-the-shelf features, low-code automation, or AI-assisted knowledge agents to replace manual processes.
  • Architect structured Jira boards, backlogs, and customized workflows aligned with TR-I processes.
  • Design standardized Confluence knowledge spaces and SharePoint repositories that organize fragmented project data into accessible division assets.
  • Distill process findings and software development roadmaps into executive briefings, process summaries, and leadership read-aheads for the Division Chief and Task Lead.
  • Track process improvement recommendations through implementation, ensuring policy adjustments, software changes, and training interventions reach operational maturity.
  • Facilitate user adoption and change management across TR-I portfolios by authoring user guides, release notes, and quick-start reference wikis in Confluence.
  • Perform other process improvement, workflow optimization, and technical advisory taskings in support of TR-I mission objectives and executive priorities.

Desired Qualifications

  • An active Top Secret SCI Clearance is preferred.
  • Understanding of Systems Engineering Verification and Validation methodologies, user acceptance testing, and test script generation is preferred.
  • Practical experience or technical aptitude to administer Atlassian Jira, Atlassian Confluence, Microsoft SharePoint, and modern collaborative digital toolsets is preferred.
  • Recognized credentials in Business Analysis or Process Improvement, such as IIBA CBAP/CCBA, PMI-PBA, Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt, or BPMN certification, are preferred.
  • Hands-on experience designing or implementing Generative AI assistants, LLM-based knowledge agents, or automated workflow agents in secure government or enterprise environments is preferred.
  • Advanced experience with data visualization and dashboard tools such as Microsoft Power BI or Tableau to visualize workflow bottlenecks and portfolio KPIs is preferred.
  • Familiarity with TRMC, DoD Test and Evaluation infrastructure, or DoD 5000-series defense acquisition frameworks is preferred.
