ITC is a Woman Owned Small Business delivering exceptional consultation to the U.S. Government in Systems/Software Engineering, Cybersecurity Solutions, Mission Operations/INTEL Analysis, and Management Services in order to enable our customers to solve the most challenging problems. With continued growth comes opportunity, and we are currently searching for a Top-Secret SCI with polygraph-cleared Expert-level Systems Engineer.

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 operations

Requirements

• TS/SCI with CI Polygraph
• 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 asset
