Description
Engineering artifacts only move a program when they hold up in front of senior leaders and their technical staffs. The Red Gate Group is seeking a Strategic Systems Engineer to support a Department of Defense intelligence customer, translating operational needs and technical requirements into rigorous engineering artifacts for a joint intelligence capability while maintaining credibility with senior military and civilian leadership. You will develop engineering artifacts and architectural views that communicate system structure, behavior, and context using the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF).
You will decompose complex operational problems, identify technical solutions, and assess tradeoffs between competing approaches, asking probing questions to uncover unstated requirements and synthesizing inputs from stakeholders across the Services and Combatant Commands. You will also support capability based planning and analysis of alternatives through the defense acquisition lifecycle.
