Spectral Integration Engineer (Expert Level) 112-153

Spectral Integration Engineer (Expert Level)

Expert-level Integration Engineers, with specific expertise in integration and deployment of spectral exploitation tools that serve as the foundation for a spectral exploitation environment used by Image Scientists to process, analyze and exploit literal and non-literal data. The candidate(s) is responsible for the engineering and deployment of a spectral exploitation environment and its integration within the broader NSG TCPED Enterprise. The candidate(s) will work with systems engineers, image scientists and developers to ensure applications and systems interoperate to deliver end-to-end mission solutions and maintain the integrity of the system-of-system enterprise.

Duties may include:

• Provides expert advice to the Government in the areas of relating vision, strategy, plans, needs, requirements, and process and capability developments.

• Assists the Government in the capture and translation of mission and customer requirements/needs into systems/capability requirements and solutions.

• Assists the Government in performing systems integration activities.

• Assists with the planning, analysis/traceability of user requirements, architectures traceability, procedures, and problems to automate or improve existing, workflow, and scheduling limitations.

• Assists the Government in strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management and interface design.

• Lead the establishment of an integrated PED environment for spectral exploitation intended for image scientists to employ advanced tradecraft tools to process, analyze, and exploit literal and non-literal datasets.
