Perform analysis of the systems requirements that define the technical baseline and verification of the technical baseline
Apply Digital Engineering methods and modeling strategies (e.g., MBSE, Digital Twins, digital threads, and analytical models) to develop ground architectures, evaluate technical performance, support integration planning, and verify system behavior throughout the lifecycle.
Work with Government and contractor engineering teams to analyze, resolve, and document technical gaps, requirements discrepancies, interface issues, and architecture trades; support major requirements reviews, architecture reviews, design reviews, and other technical forums.
Lead and support Government/Contractor Working Group meetings-by developing briefings, leading discussion, and writing minutes-to address/resolve risks, issues, and action items
Review proposed changes to the technical baseline for impacts to enterprise capabilities and to cross-stakeholder integration concerns
Conduct trade studies, engineering analyses, and technical assessments to develop and evaluate alternative solutions for complex integration and architecture challenges; assess technical, cost, schedule, and performance impacts of recommended solutions.
Facilitate technical reviews of program documentation, including requirements specifications, interface control documents (ICDs), verification artifacts, engineering analyses, and design products; provide technical comments and adjudicate resolutions with stakeholders.
Serve as a subject matter expert to assess technical issues and to prepare briefings to U.S. Space Force program office personnel and other stakeholders; provide courses of actions to support Government decisions
