Overall Assignment Description:

Requirements Engineers are Systems Engineers that apply a structured approach to design and

implementation of systems and processes. They capture and translate mission and customer

requirements in order to transform them into capabilities, testing, and validation of services.

Requirements Engineers analyze and allocate requirements to systems architecture components and

oversee the development, testing, and validation of systems and services. They also coordinate the

integration of systems and services into enterprise architecture and oversee deployment. They are

responsible to the program Chief Engineer and the engineering team to achieve desired outcomes for

the customer.

 

Duties may include:

• Decomposing and allocating strategic level requirements/needs from ECDs, SOCs, ICBDs, CDDs, and Agency CONOPS, as appropriate.
• Maintaining consistency with the Agency’s requirements process and CIO-T strategy while developing engineering artifacts, requirements documentation, and business cases.
• Implementing strategic plans and programs in coordination with senior internal and external stakeholders.
• Building and maintaining collaborative relationships with Agency Integrated Program Offices, segments, matrixed technical offices, other Agency acquisition offices, and process stakeholders.
• Interfacing with the Agency Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) system.
• Developing and maintaining a Requirements Traceability Verification Matrix (RVTM) for the program to ensure all requirements are allocated and tested as needed.
• Developing and maintaining program performance measures.
• Developing, communicating, and participating in systems engineering projects or boards; applying in-depth knowledge to committees and working groups that plan, collaborate, and execute systems programs and initiatives.
• Ensuring management is informed of all issues, risks and opportunities in a timely manner.
• Use the Joint Architecture Reference Models (JARM) to describe, analyze, and identify potential architectural service gaps, support AOA, leverage existing resources, and assist with invest and divest decisions for the program and the agency.
• Capture strategic Sensor Program requirements from associated Concept of Operations Documents.
• Guiding Mid-, and Junior-level Requirements Engineers.

 

Skills and Experience:

Required:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, Engineering Management, Management Information Systems, or related STEM degree program, or related equivalent additional experience.
• Senior-level or higher experience working in a Requirements Engineering discipline or a closely related field that demonstrates the ability to successfully perform the tasks associated with this work.
• Experience tracing program/project requirements to the source requirement such as the Joint Architecture Reference Models (JARM), and JARM Technical Service Types (TSTs) for duplication analysis and gap analysis.
• Ability to coordinate with users and stakeholders to develop Sensor program requirements for new and changing mission needs.

Desired:

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, Engineering Management, Management Information Systems, or related STEM degree program.
• Knowledge of the geospatial intelligence mission and its contributions to the Intelligence Community.
• Familiarity with Agency’s Request for Change (RFC) process to validate and assign program requirements to Agency segments.
• Familiarity with agile development to include participation in scrums, development of solution epics, lean business cases, program epics, user stories, and features.
• Scrum master experience.
• Experience using DOORS Next Generation (DOORS NG) to manage requirements and interface with Enterprise Requirements Management.
• Experience with tools such as JIRA, CONFLUENCE, and Tableau for tracking requirements, documentation, and backlog progress.
• Previous Agency and/or NSG/ASG program/project work experience.
• Previous IC or DoD program/project work experience.
