Responsibilities
- Lead and perform requirements analysis and management for GSCCE modernization efforts.
- Define, trace, and manage interface and dependency requirements across customer-provided infrastructure.
- Manage system requirements decomposition and allocation, translating legacy capabilities into clear, allocated requirements for updated components, operating systems, and redesigned target system architectures.
- Establish and maintain a requirements baseline, including analysis, derivation, allocation, and traceability of requirements and interfaces, including those involving external systems and organizations.
- Perform system design analysis of ground infrastructure hardware baselines to support modernization and performance objectives.
- Lead analysis of performance requirements and allocate performance parameters to segments and subsystems.
- Develop and execute simulation and modeling activities to assess GSCCE system performance attributes and support design decisions.
- Use system mission frameworks and tools to manage requirements and ensure alignment with mission objectives.
- Identify, perform, and review design decisions, trade studies, and architecture improvements to optimize system performance and reliability.
- Decompose complex system requirements into executable, discrete user stories suitable for a modified-agile development environment.
- Establish and support system-level management and interfaces to ensure coherent integration across segments and external organizations.
- Develop and manage a risk and opportunity baseline, tracking and mitigating technical and programmatic risks.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate, maintain, and evolve complex systems and products.
- Communicate technical findings, design impacts, and requirements changes clearly to stakeholders and team members.
