Systems Engineer (Senior) {Enterprise GIS Integrator}

Systems Engineer (Senior-Level)

TS/SCI Clearance Required

Overall Assignment Description: 

Senior-level Systems Engineers guide engineering teams in taking a multi-discipline approach to requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis across the National System of Geospatial-intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-intelligence (ASG) and Federal Agencies to ensure timely and accurate GEOINT.

NGA is modernizing their GIS architecture to support a modernized analytic workflow and requires support in guiding the architecture and development activities forward.  The position is to provide engineering services to assist the team in defining, designing, and implementing the enterprise GIS architecture leveraging an ArcGIS platform.  Familiarity with ArcGIS Enterprise components (Web and Server enterprise solutions), MS SQL Server / Oracle for versioned enterprise geodatabases, 3rd party platform integration with ARCGIS server, and ArcGIS Enterprise scaling and implications is a plus.

Duties include: 

• Guides Mid-level and Junior-level system engineers performing requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis across the National System of Geospatial intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-intelligence (ASG) and Federal Agencies.
• Guides the planning, analysis/traceability of user requirements, architectures traceability, procedures, and problems to automate or improve existing systems and review cloud service capabilities, workflow, and scheduling limitations. 
• Guides Mid-level and Junior-level system engineers developing solutions designs based on analysis of requirements and new technology. 
• Assists the Government in the capture and translation of mission and customer requirements/needs into systems/capability requirements and solutions.
• Supports the analyses and allocation of requirements to systems architecture components and executing programs.
• Assists the Government in performing systems integration activities.
• Conducts Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs), Course of Actions (CoAs), Trade Studies, and Engineering Assessments.
• Assists the Government in strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management and interface design.
