Location:  Chantilly, VA
Clearance Required: Top Secret/SCI

 

Description:

Provides agency Segment Integration expertise to the technical planning and full Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) lifecycle implementation (e.g., requirements definition, cross-segment integration, enterprise test planning, and milestone readiness planning and assessment), for the NSG Ground enterprise mission capabilities, leveraging Mission Partner interfaces, customer Segments, and GEOINT source data to integrate a new motion GEOINT resource into the NSG to drive mission tradecraft transformation. Serves as the dedicated Segment Integrator and SME to the Global Service Proxy (GSP) Segment within the NTM-L baseline, working with the Segment PMO and Development Contractor to oversee decomposition and implementation of NTM-L requirements into an integrated system-of-system solution that acknowledges technical, schedule, and cost constraints.   

 

Successful candidates must have demonstrated knowledge and hands-on experience with:

  • Customer Segments comprising the end-to-end Tasking, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TPED) process, with a deep understanding of the Segments’ application-level capabilities (vice infrastructure), role within the NSG/ASG enterprise architecture, and interfaces to other Segments 
  • The Allied System for Geospatial Intelligence (ASG) Architecture within the “five-eyes” community
  • Agile and Waterfall Segment Milestones and Control Gates (e.g., Agile Release Planning Events (RPEs), Waterfall Critical Design Reviews (CDRs), Enterprise Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), assessing Segment readiness and actively participating in events
  • Assessment of Segment-derived requirements/features/use cases, software design, and capability deliveries against enterprise-level requirements
  • Configuration control of agency Segment baselines (e.g., requirements, interfaces, services, schedule effectivities) at the customer’s CM and Segment PMO levels
  • GEOINT data providers and sources (e.g., Commercial, Airborne, National)
  • The SE&I lifecycle for the customer’s Segment from requirements development, design assessment, and integration to testing stages and transition

 

Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Leading full SE&I lifecycle efforts to coordinate with the GSP Segment to ensure timely implementation of capabilities to be integrated into the NSG/ASG enterprise
  • Serving as the NTM-L “Product Owner” to the GSP Segment, representing the NTM-L Project in the prioritization and satisfaction of NTM-L requirements within GSP’s overarching program plan/priorities
  • Documenting/reviewing GSP Segment schedules and readiness plans relevant to enterprise capability delivery schedules, identifying areas of schedule risk, and mitigating schedule misalignment issues
  • Coordinating GSP Segment data (development and test) needs and GFX items related to NTM-L
  • Participating in Milestone Readiness Events (waterfall and agile) to evaluate GSP Segment readiness and Major System Acquisition (MSA) Control gates
  • Reviewing Agency and Joint RFCs to assess and identify functional and operational baseline impacts; coordinating GSP Segment impacts to Agency and Joint RFCs
  • Identifying, tracking, mitigating, and resolving technical risks and issues related to GSP Segment integration; serving as the formal Risk Owner for Segment risks, developing mitigation plans, reporting on burn-down, and driving to closure
  • Coordinating and participating in agency and Joint enterprise test activities and events to confirm the NSG enterprise design solutions satisfy specified requirements
  • Participating in Integrated Project Teams (IPTs) and Technical Exchange Meetings (TEMs) to serve as focal points for managing project execution and resolving enterprise issues

  • Ability to coordinate efforts with customer Segments to drive cross-segment integration and capture and document schedule, test, and transition events relevant to planned enterprise-level development
  • Experience with Agile engineering and development methods (user story generation, sprint/scrum development, backlog management, and test-drive development)
  • Ability to work independently and within a team environment
  • Good customer teaming skills; ability to collaborate in cross-functional teams
  • Strong interpersonal, problem solving, organizational and multi-tasking skills
