Job Description:

• This position requires a general knowledge of the HCSO FS mission. An understanding of the processing flows from antenna to eventual datastore is essential in developing internal and external requirements. A processing flow consists of the various hardware and software components / systems necessary to achieve the desired output. The candidate should have a strong SIGINT background with a basic understanding of the Radio Frequency (RF) environment.
• The SE3 candidate should have an understanding of the agency standard data transport implementations including ITX and NiFi. The candidate should be capable of developing and implementing Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
• The candidate should have experience working with software engineering teams to develop requirements (JIRA, GIT), support documentation development (Test Plans, Operator Manuals), provide testing and recommendations for enhancements. Experience using a project management framework such as SCRUM is valuable to assist with the software engineering tasks. The SE3 should have an understanding of the full stack development paradigm, using RESTful APIs, consisting of front-end (acquisition & processing) and back-end (User Interfaces). The SE3 must be able to provide input based on customer requirements and create flow diagrams, generate data samples, define interfaces, and support the overall development needs.
• The SE3 candidate must have good interpersonal skills as daily customer interactions are expected. The SE3 must coordinate and collaborate with inter and intra organizational teams. Experience creating and updating confluence pages is essential to ensuring continuous interactions. Candidate must have experience coordinating briefings, capability / prototype demonstrations, organizing and conducting meetings with the team and the customer. The candidate must have experience generating system engineering documentation such as System Requirements Specification, Concept of Operations (CONOP), Project Plan, Interface Control Document (ICD), Context and flow diagrams, and Use Cases.
• The SE3 candidate must be comfortable working in a dynamic and flexible environment with changing priorities and multiple requirements sources.
  

The Level 3 Systems Engineer shall possess the following capabilities:

• Evaluating and documenting technology and/or system requirements, designing systems, developing ICD's, integrating hardware, software and/or network solutions (fiber optics, SATCOM)
• Support dataflow to include monitoring of systems data received from the collection segment
• Coordinate technical mission posture with external organizations
• Assist with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components
• Coordinate the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination
• Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations
• Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions
• Define the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan
• Develop system design solution that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis
• Participate in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle
• Derive from the system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness
• Derive lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensure these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable
• Participate in establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers
• Develop derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Non repudiation, and Availability); Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability); and Security Mechanism Technology (Passwords, cryptography, discretionary access control, mandatory access control, hashing, key management, etc.)
• Implement comprehensive SOA solutions
• Review and/or approve system engineering documentation to ensure that processes and specifications meet system needs and are accurate, comprehensive, and complete
• Capture all interface designs in a common interface control format, and store interface data in a commonly accessible repository
• Assess each risk to the program and determine the probability of occurrence and quantified consequence of failure in accordance with an approved risk management plan
• In conjunction with system stakeholders, plan the verification efforts of new and unproven designs early in the development life cycle to ensure compliance with established requirements
• Prepare time-line analysis diagrams illustrating the flow of time-dependent functions
• Establish a process to formally and proactively control and manage changes to requirements, consider impacts prior to commitment to change, gain stakeholder buy-in, eliminate ambiguity, ensure traceability to source requirements, and track and settle open actions
• Manage and ensure the technical integrity of the system baseline over time, continually updating it as various hanges are imposed on the system during the lifecycle from development through deployment and operations & maintenance
• Support the development and review of Joint Capability Integration Development System (JCIDS) documents (i.e., Initial Capability Document, Capabilities Description Document, IA Strategy)
• Provide technical direction for the development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of specific components of complex hardware/software systems to include requirements elicitation, analysis and functional allocation, conducting systems requirements reviews, developing concepts of operation and interface standards, developing system architectures, and performing technical/non-technical assessment and management as well as end-to-end flow analysis
• Develop scenarios (threads) and an Operational Concept that describes the interactions between the system, the user, and the environment, that satisfies operational, support, maintenance, and disposal needs
• Conduct quantitative analysis in non-functional system performance areas like Reliability, Maintainability, Vulnerability, Survivability, Producibility, etc.)
• Establish and follow a formal procedure for coordinating system integration activities among multiple teams, ensuring complete coverage of all interfaces

Qualifications:

• Twenty (20) years experience as a SE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type and complexity is required. Five (5) years of additional SE experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
