Expert Level Systems Engineers employ a multi-discipline approach to requirements engineering, solutions engineering, reliability, resiliency, services development, research & development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis across multiple architectures at different classification levels in the NSG and DoD / IC to ensure timely and accurate GEOINT. Candidates will be required to sign additional NDAs and provide proof of OCI for performance in the PMO programs.

Duties :

• Create strategic roadmaps to resolve potential gaps and manage costs.
• Provide cross-domain integration with mission partners and industry performers to ensure successful implementation and execution of KPMO technology programs.
• Manage the overall KPMO system transition process across the compendium of programs, project, pilots and initiatives.
• Collaborating with end users, create use cases for individual KPMO projects at multiple security levels.
• Maintain awareness of external (joint with mission partner) system tests and evaluate the potential impacts to PMO systems.
• Demonstrated experience in direct support to the PMO to ensure continued technical excellence in all mission areas.
• Responsible for ensuring the KPMO team is applying correct technical approaches to problem solving.
• Identify and create plans to drive optimization within KPMO.
• Assist KPMO in updates to the Portfolio Management Plan (PfMP) and Program Management Plans (PMPs).
• Assist in the evaluation of proposed industry solutions including program reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.).
• Identify risks, prepare and maintain a dependency matrix and provide recommendations for mitigation planning.
• Participate as an advisor in demonstrations, prototype efforts, technology risk mitigators and source selection activities.
• Produce test and transition-related inputs to the PMO Requirements Baseline.
• Define and lead studies to evaluate innovative concepts and revolutionary technologies for application to KPMO requirements including large cross-domain studies and intelligence requirement assessments.
• Determine state of the art, operational or technical feasibility to meet KPMO requirements.
• Analyze and assess special topics and prepare technical recommendations.
• Define CONOPs and metrics to evaluate algorithms.
• Develop, articulate and validate use cases; develop and execute test and training plans.
• Develop Testing & Evaluation (T&E) plans to assess the overall performance of algorithms and tools developed under NGA sponsorship.
• Demonstrated experience in defining CONOPs and metrics to evaluate algorithms.
• Ability to define targets and work with analysts on new types of targets.
• Ability to define and implement interfaces to multiple external applications facilitating construction and refinement of SSA and Space collection requests across multiple orbital regimes.
• Provide baseline requirements (RFC) support to include the full breadth of NGA and Joint (NGA-NRO) requirements coordination meetings and initiatives to transition R&D capabilities to KPMO operations.
