On-site
At Wyetech, you’ll be at the center of an award-winning corporate culture, breaking technological barriers and solving real-world problems for our federal government customers. We are committed to hiring the best of the best, and in return, we offer a world-class, truly unique employee experience that is rare within our industry.

Development of engineering documentation, development/solicitation of system requirements or specifications, design, development and testing for MARASAN (CLAIR) risk reduction pilot project.

Performance Objective (PO). #1: Information gathering for foreign workflows and AI improvement opportunities. Success = delivery of a high level system design diagram that includes all relevant stakeholder needs. PO #2: Provide systems engineering support to planning, development, integration, testing, and evaluation of protypes and systems to verify availability, quality and documentation conformance to the supportability requirements as outlined in the prototype design document. Success = Prototype evaluation documents and recommendations are created and placed in Confluence. PO #3: Assist the MARASAN team to assess and update the comprehensive plan (living document) that identifies questions, assumptions, risks, and dependencies. Success = update and maintain the plan.

Due to federal contract requirements, United States Citizenship and position appropriate security clearance is required. (e.g. Active TS/SCI security clearance with agency appropriate polygraph).

Capabilities

    • Contributes to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents
    • Manages system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) – Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), etc
    • Assists with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components
    • Coordinates the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination
    • Participates in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations
    • Participates in the development of system engineering documentation, such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents
    • Participates in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle
    • Allocates real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components
    • Derives from the system requirements and understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness
    • Derives lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensure these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable
    • Generates alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions
    • Participates in establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers
    • Defines the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan
    • Develops system design solution that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis
    • Develops derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Non repudiation, and Availability); Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability); and Security Mechanism Technology (Passwords, cryptography, discretionary access control, mandatory access control, hashing, key management, etc.)
    • Reviews and provides input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages and the integrated master plan (IMP)
    • Provides technical direction for the development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of specific components of complex hardware/software systems to include requirements elicitation, analysis and functional allocation, conducting systems requirements reviews, developing concepts of operation and interface standards, developing system architectures, and performing technical/non-technical assessment and management as well as end-to-end flow analysis
    • Implements comprehensive SOA solutions
    • Implements operational view, technical standards view, and system and services view for architectures using applicable DoDAF standards
    • Develops scenarios (threads) and an Operational Concept that describes the interactions between the system, the user, and the environment, that satisfies operational, support, maintenance, and disposal needs
    • Reviews and/or approves system engineering documentation to ensure that processes and specifications meet system needs and are accurate, comprehensive, and complete
    • Conducts quantitative analysis in non-functional system performance areas like Reliability, Maintainability, Vulnerability, Survivability, Produceability, etc.)
    • Establishes and follows a formal procedure for coordinating system integration activities among multiple teams, ensuring complete coverage of all interfaces
    • Captures all interface designs in a common interface control format, and stores interface data in a commonly accessible repository
    • Prepares time-line analysis diagrams illustrating the flow of time-dependent functions
    • Establishes a process to formally and proactively control and manage changes to requirements, considers impacts prior to commitment to change, gains stakeholder buy-in, eliminates ambiguity, ensures traceability to source requirements, and tracks and settles open actions
    • Assess each risk to the program and determine the probability of occurrence and quantified consequence of failure in accordance with an approved risk management plan
    • Manages and ensures the technical integrity of the system baseline over time, continually updating it as various changes are imposed on the system during the lifecycle from development through deployment and operations & maintenance
    • In conjunction with system stakeholders, plans the verification efforts of new and unproven designs early in the development life cycle to ensure compliance with established requirements
    • Supports the planning and test analysis of the DoD Certification/Accreditation Process (as well as other Government Certification and Accreditation (C&A) processes)
    • Supports the development and review of Joint Capability Integration Development System (JCIDS) documents (i.e.,Initial Capability Document, Capabilities Description Document, IA Strategy)
