Job Responsibility:
Assist in the development of system requirements, specifications, and design plans based upon engagement with stakeholders to effectively understand gaps and challenges in tools, systems, and tradecraft
Analyze stakeholder requirements and conduct feasibility studies
Assist in the development of system metrics (measures of effectiveness and technical performance measures) based upon specified design considerations
Assist in the development and documentation of operational and support concepts
Perform functional analysis including decomposition of requirements to low-level functions, allocation of performance and other limiting requirements to all functional levels, define and refine internal and external functional interfaces, and integrate a functional architecture
Perform function synthesis to include the transformation of functional architectures to physical/solution designs, defining alternative concepts, configuration items and elements, defining system/software interfaces, and identifying preferred systems through value modeling
Provide engineering support to planning, integration, and testing support during the testing and evaluation of prototypes and systems to verify availability, quality, and documentation conformance
Prepare test plans, procedures, and reports
test and analyze results
Integrate engineering specialties into the systems development process, when required
Provide support for troubleshooting of system failures and malfunctions
Support the implementation of Government-approved changes and upgrades to prototypes and systems
Review and evaluate standards as necessary (i.e., identify missing standards, shortcomings, inconsistencies, conflicts)
Make recommendations to the methodology, processes, tools, and resources used to define, account for, model, partition, track, implement, and support system design and technical performance requirements
Conduct the necessary hardware engineering and related functions to modify and adapt vendor-manufactured hardware to meet specific Government needs and contingencies
Provide domain expertise throughout all software and process engineering phases
Make recommendations in the development, definition, and documentation of operational and maintenance concepts, leading to the development of system/software requirements and/or specifications
Assist in the development of detailed design documents in the form of system Concept of Operations (CONOPs), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), data-flow diagrams, and system/component-level design diagrams
Assist in the development of metadata object and business logic models, provide data element dictionaries, create, document, and publish XML schemas, (ICDs, and Data Model Requirements)
Coordinate the improvement, development, and transfer of new processes and practices to stakeholders by providing group facilitation, training, and additional forms of knowledge transfer
Assist in the development of system requirements for data monitoring and management
Research and evaluate existing corporate solutions
Analyze stakeholder requirements and conduct feasibility studies for these requirements based on knowledge of existing systems and processes
