Responsibilities Expert Level Systems Engineers employ a multi-discipline approach to requirements engineering, solutions engineering, reliability, resiliency, services development, research & development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis across multiple architectures at different classification levels in the NSG and DoD/IC to ensure timely and accurate GEOINT. Candidates will be required to sign additional NDAs and provide proof of OCI for performance in the PMO programs. Duties include: Create strategic roadmaps to resolve potential gaps and manage costs
Provide cross-domain integration with mission partners and industry performers to ensure successful implementation and execution of KPMO technology programs
Manage the overall KPMO system transition process across the compendium of programs, project, pilots and initiatives
Collaborating with end users, create use cases for individual KPMO projects at multiple security levels
Maintain awareness of external (joint with mission partner) system tests and evaluate the potential impacts to PMO systems
Demonstrated experience in direct support to the PMO to ensure continued technical excellence in all mission areas
Responsible for ensuring the KPMO team is applying correct technical approaches to problem solving
Identify and create plans to drive optimization within KPMO
Assist KPMO in updates to the Portfolio Management Plan (PfMP) and Program Management Plans (PMPs)
Assist in the evaluation of proposed industry solutions including program reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.)
Identify risks, prepare and maintain a dependency matrix and provide recommendations for mitigation planning
Participate as an advisor in demonstrations, prototype efforts, technology risk mitigators and source selection activities
Produce test and transition-related inputs to the PMO Requirements Baseline
Define and lead studies to evaluate innovative concepts and revolutionary technologies for application to KPMO requirements including large cross-domain studies and intelligence requirement assessments
Determine state of the art, operational or technical feasibility to meet KPMO requirements
Analyze and assess special topics and prepare technical recommendations
Define CONOPs and metrics to evaluate algorithms
Develop, articulate and validate use cases; develop and execute test and training plans
Develop Testing & Evaluation (T&E) plans to assess the overall performance of algorithms and tools developed under NGA sponsorship
Demonstrated experience in defining CONOPs and metrics to evaluate algorithms
Ability to define targets and work with analysts on new types of targets
Ability to define and implement interfaces to multiple external applications facilitating construction and refinement of SSA and Space collection requests across multiple orbital regimes
Provide baseline requirements (RFC) support to include the full breadth of NGA and Joint (NGA-NRO) requirements coordination meetings and initiatives to transition R&D capabilities to KPMO operationsQualifications Peraton offers enhanced benefits to employees working on this critical National Security program, which include heavily subsidized employee benefits coverage for you and your dependents, 25 days of PTO accrued annually up to a generous PTO cap and eligible to participate in an attractive bonus plan. Required: Master's degree in Electrical Engineering + 18 years of experience, or PhD in Electrical Engineering + 10 years of experience in related technical or scientific fields such as engineering, physics and mathematics
Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with RADAR and RF processing and for SSA
Demonstrated experience in defining, designing and developing (SSA) applications
Demonstrated experience of space enterprise information needs (comprehensive, historical and indexed appropriately for down-stream tools), including space object observations, historical behavior and the relevant context of that behavior
Demonstrated experience with threats including SOSI, Radar and Optical sensors, Command and Control (C2), Offensive Space Control/Defensive Space Control (OSC/DSC)
Experience dealing with data and data sources that exist at multiple classification levels and integrate that data with computational processes that will generate additional data at multiple classification levels.
Experience employing security controls to protect assets, missions and data from multiple classification levels
Demonstrated experience with compliance to Integrated Protection Strategy (IPS) controls and data management procedures
Experience with space environment and space to ground including threats to assets; track de-confliction of SSA and imaging windows with ground targets, understanding support of GEOINT Assurance
Demonstrated experience to employ analytics and quantifiable physics-based metric models in a timely manner
Experience with development or operational use of any of the following SSA, space, I&W tools or tools with similar functions
Experience with data fusion models that assess confidence in data accumulated and aggregated across multiple modalities and domains
Experience with physics models to include the assessment of conservative/non-conservative forces, uncertainty/confidence estimation, weather effects, break-up events and conjunction analysis techniques that scale to many-on-many objects and can be dynamically tasked
Experience with space object measurement and identification
Demonstrated experience supporting SAO and related architectures
Demonstrated experience implementing Spatial Temporal (4D) modeling, simulation, visualization and tasking services, analytical and exploitation tools and integrated security services
Experience fusing data
Experience with multiple data collection techniques and an in-depth understanding of GEOINT phenomenology
Demonstrated experience of software development frameworks
Demonstrated experience of photogrammetry, remote sensing, image science, information sciences, geographic information systems, geomatics or related fields
