Responsibilities
- Develop, maintain, and execute the program’s Systems Engineering Plan (SEP) that aligns with program plans.
- Develop architectures that ensure conformance to standards, requirements, and associated systems, using DoDAF or other frameworks as specified by the Government.
- Establish and decompose requirements for the sensing capability, supporting the Government in this process.
- Maintain a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM).
- Conduct System Requirements Review/System Functional Review (SRR/SFR) to analyze project cost, schedule, and performance requirements.
- Provide preliminary and final designs in support of project and customer requirements, including system diagrams, design descriptions, and interface control documents.
- Support integration and testing of sensing software/hardware solutions with associated networks to validate software packages and devices.
- Develop user stories to capture system requirements from the user perspective.
- Troubleshoot and resolve operational issues escalated from Tier II support, providing updates according to Tier II reporting requirements.
- Design and test capabilities to address operational issues or shortfalls.
- Integrate and configure Windows/Linux servers, VMware/ESXi, Red Hat/OpenShift/Kubernetes, and enterprise storage/backup solutions.
- Deploy and integrate identity and access management (ICAM/PKI/CAC), network services (DNS/DHCP/IPAM), and automation (Ansible, PowerShell, Terraform) to drive repeatable builds.
- Implement observability stacks (Splunk/ELK, Prometheus/Grafana, SolarWinds) and SIEM/SOAR integrations to improve MTTD/MTTR.
- Support RMF lifecycle activities (categorization → ATO → continuous monitoring), producing and maintaining SSP, CONOPS, POA&M, Traceability Matrices, and test evidence.
- Apply DISA STIGs, SCAP scans, and ACAS/Tenable and HBSS/ESS baselines; drive remediation to meet control objectives (NIST 800-53, CNSSI 1253).
- Partner with ISSO/ISSM to sustain continuous ATO (cATO) posture and reporting dashboards.
- Own Tier III escalation for complex system issues; conduct root cause analysis and author RCAs with corrective actions.
- Build infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and configuration-as-code pipelines (GitLab/GitHub/Jenkins/Azure DevOps) for secure, automated deployments.
- Optimize cost, performance, and resilience across hybrid environments; maintain runbooks, SOPs, and KPIs/SLAs.
- Participate in IPTs, change advisory boards (CAB), and design reviews; brief senior leaders on risks and trade-offs.
- Produce high-quality design documents, test plans, implementation guides, and as-built documentation in line with DISA standards.
- Mentor junior engineers; contribute to engineering playbooks and best practices.
Requirements
- Active DoD Secret clearance
- 8+ years of progressive systems engineering experience, preferably within the cybersecurity or IT sectors supporting the DoD/Federal programs.
