Are you looking for an opportunity to influence and make a difference in the delivery of mission capabilities? What if you could find a position that builds upon your mix of operational intelligence expertise, mission integration, and communication skills? That's why we need you, an experienced professional, to help us model, evaluate and guide future system architectures leveraging Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) principals that enable activity-based intelligence through automated and accelerated mission delivery to our multi-agency Intelligence Community (IC) and DoD customers using the latest open source tools, trends, and modeling techniques.

• Our Chief Architect team is responsible for leading and coordinating ground enterprise lifecycle systems engineering activities including requirements, CONOPS, and architecture development in the remote sensing domain for current and future missions
• The candidate will leverage operational experience using IC CIP/COP tools to provide subject matter expertise for IC customer senior leadership and their DoD counterparts regarding future GEOINT, SIGINT and Multi-INT architecture requirements and planned mission capabilities.
• This includes supporting IC exercises, conducting assessments of critical joint Air and Space Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) warfighter capabilities, and identifying gaps and shortfalls supporting decisions to validate and prioritize joint requirements with mission partners for future acquisitions.
• The candidate will work solutions that reduce latencies and increase data sharing in integrated joint architectures supporting edge nodes and Sensor to Shooter (S2S) network interoperability across multiple agencies.
• The individual will provide MBSE support implementing digital engineering principles and a federated modeling approach for building architecture models establishing system requirements and interfaces beginning with the conceptual design and continuing throughout the development and life-cycle of the project.
• The individual will facilitate Integrated Product Teams (IPT's), and technical working groups that will promote, review and assess the maturity of engineering artifacts, CONOPS, interfaces, and architecture products within the MBSE framework in support of system and acquisition-level ground milestones, and integration of new systems and initiatives
• This position also includes helping to champion the transition and implementation of MBSE processes and standards across a large ground enterprise organization and evaluating tools for inclusion in the MBSE framework.
• The selected candidate will have the aptitude to assess MBSE and SE processes and create efficiencies continuously, and may lead projects for systems team work, have frequent client interactions, and support system and mission strategy development across the various ground offices.
• The candidate will have daily interaction with the customer and supporting contractors and will need to follow customer standards and processes as the program matures through the life-cycle.
• Candidate will interact with multiple Acquisition Offices (AOs) and facilitate risk and action closure with Acquisition Offices and users, and support technical consultation, meeting coordination, and support to recommendation briefings.

Required Skills:

• Must Possess and be able to maintain a TS/SCI Clearance with Poly
• Experience: BS w/ 10-12 years, MS w/ 8-10 years, or PhD w/ 5-7 years
• Detailed knowledge of IC mission capabilities (to include GEOINT, SIGINT and Multi-INT domains) and overall space and ground architecture
• Operational experience using IC analyst and CIP/COP tools
• Experience in supporting requirements and CONOPs development, and system integration to accommodate end to end systems delivery, demonstrations and exercises
• Knowledge of, and experience defining and executing, MBSE standards and practices
• Hands-on experience of developing and building system models in SysML with a recognized MBSE tool, preferably CAMEO.
• Ability to translate DoDAF artifacts into MBSE artifacts
• Excellent oral and written communications skills
• Project management experience for multi-organizational development
• Experience identifying user needs and gaps, identifying potential solutions, and assessing/analyzing alternatives
• Commitment to recognize, understand, respect and operate effectively within various SETA, FFRDC, and Government lines of authority

Strongly Desired Skills:

• Familiarity with direct IC customer, technical familiarity with mission processing or mission control of systems, including sensor knowledge.
