Identify, review, and provide recommendations on ground system requirements with Government representatives and mission partners.
Ensure system interfaces are well defined, documented, and that new requirements remain compliant with existing systems.
Continuously review system designs and architectures and provide recommendations for improvements in areas such as redundancy, downtime reduction, and backup solutions.
Identify single points of failure and equipment at or near end of life/end of support and recommend paths forward to the Government. Requirements, Concepts, and Technical Planning: Support development of mission concepts and system solutions by working with Government stakeholders to define mission requirements and concepts.
Develop high-level CONOPS or CONEMP and draft system-level requirements, as directed.
Conduct conceptual studies or analyses of alternatives to assess feasible technical approaches, scope, and potential technology needs.
Assess feasibility with input from SMEs, including use of test-bed simulations, models, mock-ups, or other tools.
Identify potential technical, schedule, cost, and cybersecurity benefits and risks associated with proposed concepts or changes.
Coordinate design packages and technical review inputs with the Government Program Lead, assigned POC, and Program Chief Engineer, as applicable. Integration, Verification, and Validation: Support developmental, integration, and verification activities to ensure system performance requirements are met.
Perform or support incremental developmental testing prior to system integration.
Support external mission partner testing with the ground systems to ensure interoperability and prevent adverse impact to existing missions.
Support incremental, iterative, and automated functionality testing, including integration testing of mission interfaces. Mission Coordination and Lifecycle Support: Interface with internal and external mission partners during all phases of the systems engineering process.
Support development and maintenance of the Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP), including SE processes, roles and responsibilities, V&V approach, metrics and measurements, tools and technologies, and schedule/resources.
Support planning for lifecycle sustainment, including configuration management, hardware recapitalization recommendations, and identification of software/licensing renewals prior to expiration.
