GEOINT Systems Engineer IV

Responsibilities

• Support capability and solution definition for future space systems through various system readiness events and independent review teams.
• Support systems engineering efforts for space system acquisitions in the GEOINT mission area.
• Participate in Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and Engineering working groups that will review and assess the maturity of engineering artifacts, CONOPS, interfaces, and architecture products.
• Support space, ground, and enterprise teams developing architecture and requirement baselines, establishing and assessing mission capabilities, assessing system and segment schedule and risks, and supporting test and verification strategy.
• Assist in the creation of quantifiable requirements based on customer description, system planning and design, and acquisition logistics.
• Ensure requirements comply with client requirements and government standards through formal verification methods.
• Assess performance using evaluation criteria and technical performance measures.
• Participate in design reviews to ensure applicability to the current system and traceability of requirements through compliance verification and validation.
• Participate in the adoption of MBSE in both customer and company domains.
• Apply the principles of MBSE to major system acquisitions.
• Assess engineering artifacts and develop models of mission systems using an MBSE tool suite that includes system architecture modeling, workflow management, analytical, and data visualization tools.
• Facilitate and/or participate in collaborative meetings between space system subject matter experts (SMEs) and MBSE and SysML experts to identify and implement modeling solutions.
