Here’s what you’ll need :

• Develop 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.
• Review and / or approve system engineering documentation to ensure that processes and specifications meet system needs and are accurate, comprehensive, and complete.
• Conduct quantitative analysis in non-functional system performance areas like Reliability, Maintainability, Vulnerability, Survivability, Produceability, etc.).
• Establish and follow a formal procedure for coordinating system integration activities among multiple teams, ensuring complete coverage of all interfaces.
• Capture all interface designs in a common interface control format, and store interface data in a commonly accessible repository.
• Prepare time-line analysis diagrams illustrating the flow of time-dependent functions.
• Establish a process to formally and proactively control and manage changes to requirements, consider impacts prior to commitment to change, gain stakeholder buy-in, eliminate ambiguity, ensure traceability to source requirements, and track and settle 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.
• Manage and ensure 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, plan the verification efforts of new and unproven designs early in the development life cycle to ensure compliance with established requirements.
• Support the planning and test analysis of the DoD Certification / Accreditation Process (as well as other Government Certification and Accreditation (C&A) processes).
• Support the development and review of Joint Capability Integration Development System (JCIDS) documents (i.e., Initial Capability Document, Capabilities Description Document, IA Strategy).
• 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.
• Develop comprehensive SOA solutions.
• Develop operational view, technical standards view, and system and services view for architectures using applicable DoDAF 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.
• 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.
• Use validated models, simulations, and prototyping to mitigate risk and reduce cost of system development.
• 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 agency, 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• Develop system design alternatives that consider life cycle cost, reuse, complexity, risk, system expansion, and growth.
