Overall Assignment Description :
Mid-level Integration Engineers are responsible for developing or assisting with the development of program and project integration solutions across the enterprise and determining integration / interface requirements. They work with systems engineers, solutions architects and programmers to ensure applications and systems interoperate to deliver end-to-end mission solutions and maintain the integrity of the system-of-system enterprise.
Duties include :
- Provides a total systems perspective including a technical understanding of relationships, dependencies and requirements of hardware and software components.
- Supports planning, implementation approaches, and documentation of solutions to total systems or subsystems using internally created and / or commercial off-the-shelf products.
- Analyses, designs, tests, and evaluates network systems such as Cloud Resident computing capabilities, satellite networks, local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), the Internet, intranets, and other data communications systems ranging from a connection between two offices in the same building to a globally distributed network of systems.
- Supports the planning and implementation approaches of data management practices to treat and handle data as a resource.
- Assists Government in managing system development efforts, moves or modernization changes including analysis, telecommunications (LAN, WAN, voice, video), planning, cabling, IT and cloud requirements, network security measures, and other factors.
- Refer to Section 3.3 : Enterprise Integration Engineering (Cross System and Segment) for a listing of expected work activities the Integration Engineer position would be required to support.

Mid-Level Systems Engineer - Financial Management
Ready to join NGA's Enterprise Engineering and Architecture Group and partner with the NGA Financial Management (FM) Organization to :
Document the current "As-Is" FM System Baseline (e.g., Architecture, Requirements, Data / Information Flows)Provide engineering thought leadership to define and document the future "To-Be" FM ArchitectureHelp integrate FM into the Digital Engineering (DE) Environment as an Authoritative Source of Truth (ASoT) data provider and consumer / user of DE data, tools, and analytic capabilities?This is an exciting new opportunity to introduce systems engineering processes, rigor, and governance to FM, to drive modernization of their system architecture and business processes. Along with growing your Systems Engineering skills, you will have the opportunity to learn about Government financial management systems, workflows, and data ontologies and gain hands-on experience with Business Process Engineering, capturing, modeling, and analyzing end-to-end business flows, identifying opportunities for process re-engineering.
Leveraging the standardized suite of Enterprise Engineering & Architecture Tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Cameo, Doors Next Generation, Baseline Management System / Service Now), duties include (but are not limited to) :
Partnering with Enterprise Engineering and Architecture Teams (e.g., Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Requirements, Enterprise Release Management, Enterprise Schedule Management, Configuration Management), introduce, coach, and guide FM teams on enterprise engineering, architecture, and integration resources, processes, and toolsCapture and baseline As-Is FM requirements - e.g., Data, Dashboards, ReportsAssist System Architects in capturing and baselining the As-Is FM architecture - Systems, InterfacesAuthor and lead enterprise coordination for Requests for Change (RFCs) to formally establish the FM baseline (Requirements, Architecture, Interfaces, etc)Support development of the To-Be FM architecture and requirements; author Solution Epics to capture Lean Business CasesAssist FM in developing roadmaps and schedules for FM architecture modernization activitiesDevelop FM Use Cases / Mission Threads to drive the To-Be FM architectureSupport FM Risk Management Processes for FM architecture modernization activitiesWorking with FM Teams, support Business Process Engineering activities. Capture end-to-end flows; model; analyze (e.g., workflow bottlenecks); and derive requirements to drive business process re-engineeringWorking with FM Data Architecture SMEs, support FM data architecture activities. eg.,Capturing of FM data architecture and data flowsExpansion of FM data management approachMaturation of the FM OntologyCollaboration with the NGA Chief Data Office Team to ensure alignment to Agency data management and governance practices, policies, and initiativesParticipate in Digital Engineering Program Increment Planning Events, working with DE and FM Teams to define Features for FM integration with the DE Environment; participate in associated engineering discussions / TEMsSkills and Experience :
Required :
Bachelor's degree or higher in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, Management Information Systems, or related STEM degree program.6 years of technical experience is required. If that experience is as an Integration Engineer, it may be considered in lieu of a degree.6 years of working experience in government or industry in data base management or Big Data analysis.Desired :
Documented work experience and demonstrated knowledge with Systems Engineering Processes (e.g., Requirements, Use Case, CONOPS, and / or Epic development; Risk, Configuration, and / or Schedule Management)Familiarity with Architecture Artifacts (e.g., DoDAF Architecture Views - Service and System)Hands-on experience with the NGA RFC processKnowledge of Government Financial Management systems and workflowsHands-on experience with Jira and ConfluenceTraining, certification, and hands-on experience with SAFe AgileBasic understanding of Digital Engineering / Model Based System Engineering conceptsExperience with Business Process EngineeringExperience facilitating TEMsStrong communication skills, verbally and written; detail-oriented
