Job Description

Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) Littoral & Mine Warfare Department has a requirement to support the development, deployment and sustainment of the Mine Warfare and Environmental Decision Aids Library (MEDAL) Program that provides mine warfare situational awareness, mission planning and evaluation, and asset management software to support existing and emerging mine warfare missions, users, and systems. MEDAL software products will be installed on Mine Warfare (MIW) resources via host or expeditionary computing systems in order to provide resident users with the ability to access MIW tools and data repositories. MEDAL provides MIW planners with the ability to create, display, evaluate, assess, and store MIW mission plans for individual MIW resources, in specific environments, against particular threats. The current implementation of MEDAL is known as MEDAL Enterprise Architecture (MEDAL EA) and consists of a suite of software tools that collectively support mission planning and evaluation of Mine Countermeasures (MCM) and Mining missions for US Naval forces. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) identifies Contractor requirements to provide programmatic, financial reporting, in-service engineering services, software sustainment activities, software development, training, testing and technical support for the MEDAL program.

Roles/Responsibilities:

• Lead agile/SCRUM projects for (1) mine warfare situational awareness, mission planning and evaluation, and asset management software, (2) developing dashboard data and metrics reporting for various stakeholder roles,  (3) developing test and evaluation tools, and (4) building modeling/simulation environments leveraging TMC Intellectual Property (IP) for IV&V of Navy system of systems software.
• Interfacing with government, contractor, and end user stakeholders to (1) effectively execute agile projects, (2) deliver acceptable high quality product deliverables, (3) identify and define continuous improvement opportunities within contract scope, and (4) exceed customer expectations by achieving Very Good or Exceptional Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) scores annually.
• Define and promote use of open architecture designs and development solutions for maximizing interoperability by leveraging knowledge of Object Management Group (OMG) practices and specifications.
• Mentor software development team members in the development of maintainable, interoperable, extensible, and robust software by leveraging object oriented design and object oriented programming principles.
• Recommend evolution and/or replacement of legacy systems based upon various systems and software migration criteria and migration strategies.
• Identify data exchange approaches and solutions in leveraging NIST National Information Exchange Model (NEIM) best practices.
• Implement Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processing for data store and database solutions.
