The System Engineer Technical Analyst (SETA) will support allocation of system requirements to components and maintain traceability between user and component-level requirements. The SETA will contribute to SOWs and associated requirements documents for active or future Sponsor or Mission Partner development and/or production efforts and document requirements to address active or future Sponsor needs.
The contracted effort will use numerical methods to analyze Sponsor projects, programs, and enterprise readiness activities for critical risks, potential failures, and vulnerabilities. The contracted effort will recommend improvements to project efficiency and prioritize options to reduce, monitor, and control the likelihood or impact of process-related risks.
The SETA will provide initial quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data and its sources, develop analytic judgments on relevance or vulnerabilities, and prepare briefings and reports documenting methods and results.
The SETA will recommend whether concepts are adequate for further development and assist in assessing system design and implementation deliverables. The SETA will not have contractual responsibility for direct system development, integration, assembly, or checkout.
The SETA will scout and analyze technology markets and public-private innovation to inform the assigned group's strategic and tactical research and development investment decisions. The SETA will support commercial technology transfer into viable products for other Sponsor or general public end users.
