Key Responsibilities
Provide systems engineering and program office advisory support for Space-Based Sensing and Targeting (SBST), Environmental Monitoring, AMTI, GMTI, mission-data transport, ground processing, and related space-based sensing capabilities.
Support government program offices in integrating technical planning, acquisition strategy, requirements development, architecture assessments, development oversight, test planning, and transition-to-operations activities.
Coordinate program execution across government teams, prime contractors, developers, FFRDCs, and mission stakeholders by identifying dependencies, technical risks, decision points, and actions needed to maintain program execution.
Support development and review of system requirements, technical specifications, architecture products, interface documentation, security constraints, risk registers, Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms), and acquisition decision materials.
Assess system interfaces, software and hardware changes, ground-system integration, mission-data flows, and operational workflows while providing technical recommendations to government stakeholders.
Evaluate operational suitability and sustainment readiness as capabilities transition from development and test into operational environments.
Support technical reviews, engineering reviews, readiness assessments, acquisition milestones, and contractor performance discussions through technical analysis and recommendations.
Develop technical reports, executive briefings, spreadsheets, risk assessments, technical analyses, and decision-support products for government leadership and program stakeholders.
Collaborate across systems engineering, mission integration, acquisition support, digital engineering, mission assurance, and mission-performance teams to support successful program execution.
Support additional systems engineering and technical advisory activities as assigned.
