The position requires a strong understanding of cyberspace systems engineering, cyber mission architectures, enterprise software systems, secure system design, cloud environments, microservices, big data, machine learning, and complex data integration. Projects include engineering support for software-intensive DoD cyberspace systems that integrate information from numerous standard and non-standard data sources, perform correlation and analytics, and deliver actionable information to support operational decision-making.

Requirements

• Lead cyberspace systems and mission engineering activities across the total system lifecycle, including requirements analysis, architecture and design, development, integration, test and evaluation, modernization, deployment, and sustainment.
• Identify, analyze, and decompose complex operational and cyber mission requirements into system-level requirements, top-level designs, technical architectures, interfaces, and engineering specifications.
• Develop and evaluate system architectures for software-intensive DoD cyberspace capabilities, including enterprise applications, cloud environments, microservices, data platforms, analytics capabilities, and interconnected mission systems.
• Lead the integration of information from multiple standard and non-standard data sources, supporting data ingestion, correlation, analytics, visualization, and presentation of mission-relevant information for operational decision-making.
• Apply big data, machine learning, cloud computing, and microservice architecture principles to the design, development, integration, and implementation of advanced cyberspace capabilities.
• Support the engineering and integration of cybersecurity requirements, security controls, and secure architecture principles into enterprise software applications, cloud environments, data platforms, and supporting infrastructure.
• Conduct and support system architecture assessments, technical trade studies, risk assessments, integration analysis, test and evaluation, and verification and validation of complex cyberspace systems.
• Assess system modifications, interfaces, engineering changes, and emerging technologies for impacts to system performance, interoperability, cybersecurity, data architecture, scalability, and mission effectiveness.
• Support the integration, testing, transition, and deployment of cyberspace capabilities into DoD operational environments, identifying and resolving complex technical and integration challenges.
• Participate in technical design reviews, architecture reviews, configuration control boards, engineering working groups, test readiness reviews, and other technical forums as a senior cyberspace systems engineering subject matter expert.
• Coordinate across systems engineering, software development, cybersecurity, data engineering, cloud engineering, program leadership, and government stakeholders to ensure mission requirements are effectively translated into scalable and secure technical solutions.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers supporting cyberspace systems, enterprise software, cloud architecture, data integration, analytics, machine learning, and mission engineering activities.

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI clearance.
• A Bachelor of Science (BS) degree from an accredited college or university in an engineering, scientific, or technical discipline and at least eight (8) years of relevant experience; OR ten (10) years of demonstrated and established knowledge and subject matter expertise within relevant technical disciplines.
• 5+ years of concurrent experience as a team leader performing systems engineering and mission engineering efforts, including the development of requirements, top-level designs, and/or system architectures for software-intensive systems.
• 8+ years of professional experience as a Senior Systems Engineer/Analyst or in a comparable systems engineering discipline.
• 6+ years of concurrent, specialized progressive experience demonstrating a strong technical background in complex operational requirements identification and decomposition, architecture design, development, integration, test, and evaluation of complex DoD enterprise software applications.
• Demonstrated experience engineering systems involving the integration of information from numerous standard and non-standard data sources, including the correlation, processing, and analytics of externally derived information and the presentation or visualization of that information to support operational decision-making.
• Demonstrated experience developing or supporting complex, software-intensive DoD systems and enterprise architectures within mission-critical operational environments.
• Specific hands-on experience with big data and machine learning design, cloud technologies, microservice architectures, and implementation is required.
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex mission and operational needs into scalable system architectures, technical requirements, interfaces, and integrated software solutions.
