• Develop operational view, technical standards view, and system and services view for architectures using applicable standards
• Conduct and/or approve end-to-end system trade analyses to optimize system operations over its life-cycle through the proper balance of non-functional system performance areas
• Use validated models, simulations, and prototyping to mitigate risk and reduce cost of system development
• Ensure effective, periodic review and control of the evolving configuration of a system, both hardware and software components and associated documentation, during the life of the system
• Serve as a member of the CCB
• Develop system design alternatives that consider life cycle cost, reuse, complexity, risk, system expansion, and growth
• Develop alternative courses of action, workarounds, and fall-back positions with a recommended course of action for each risk, and monitor and re-evaluate risks at appropriate milestones. Monitors risks using earned value management (EVM) data
• Maintain knowledge of current and evolving national and international standards applicable to the system development of interest.
• Apply and enforce use of suitable standards to ensure consistency and interoperability of developer hardware and software
• As a participant within an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) effort, recommend a preferred solution based on selection criteria adjusted for reasonableness and validity of assumptions, technology limitations, environmental impact, and life-cycle costs
• Provide technical direction for the development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of all 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
• Improve standard integration strategies based upon rationale for previous decisions that resulted in improved integration performance
• Fully define interfaces in terms of origination, destination, stimulus, and data characteristics for software; and electrical and mechanical characteristics for hardware
