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.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience in requirements analysis and management for complex systems.
  • Strong background in interface and dependency requirements management, including defining, tracing, and managing requirements across customer-provided infrastructure.
  • Experience working on parallel development efforts involving multiple contractor interfaces.
  • Proficiency in system requirements decomposition and allocation, including translating legacy capabilities into requirements for updated components, operating systems, and redesigned architectures.
  • Experience with systems integration in complex, multi-segment environments.
  • Ability to perform system design analysis of ground infrastructure hardware baselines.
  • Experience leading analysis of performance requirements and allocating performance metrics to segments and subsystems.
  • Ability to develop and perform simulation and modeling to assess system performance attributes.
  • Skill in identifying and conducting design decisions, trade studies, and architecture improvements.
  • Experience decomposing complex requirements into executable, discrete user stories in an agile or modified-agile environment.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to analyze complex technical issues and propose effective solutions.
  • Effective communication skills, including the ability to present technical information clearly and collaborate within cross-functional teams.

Essential Skills

  • Obtaining a U.S. Security Clearance, including meeting all eligibility requirements.
  • Experience supporting satellite ground systems or similar mission-critical command and control environments.
  • Background in systems engineering as an interdisciplinary engineering management process, balancing life-cycle considerations to satisfy customer needs.
  • Familiarity with modified-agile or agile development methodologies and working in fast-paced, success-oriented environments.
  • Experience with risk and opportunity management in engineering projects.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in mentoring environments, including learning from and leading others.
  • Experience mapping systems requirements across complex architectures and external organizations.
  • Comfort with managing technical interfaces in multi-contractor, multi-segment programs.
