Job Description: This
is a full-time position requiring 1880 hours of support per year; and work is
performed at a customer location. As a Terrestrial SIGINT Systems Engineer, you
will support a customer terrestrial sensors team in tracking, monitoring and
facilitating planning for the deployment, upgrade, and replacement of
Terrestrial SIGINT collection and processing systems. You will:

• Capture and document the requirements for the new and
  updated systems as well as coordinate and track the sensor projects from
  requirements, analysis of alternatives, sensor build-out, deployment, and
  installation, testing and transition to operations.
  
• Participate in numerous meetings, working groups, and
  integrated product teams, product reviews, and status meetings to monitor the
  systems engineering plans, development, and deployment of space and ground
  processing systems.
  
• Work closely with government Systems Engineers to support
  the reengineering of the existing SIGINT ground architecture to facilitate the
  elimination of collection/processing stovepipes and replace the deprecated
  systems with collections/processing systems that support automation, dynamic
  tasking, multi-access cross-cueing and orchestration.
  
• Produce system engineering and technical documentation,
  develop master schedules, and support validation and verification activities.
  
• Provide exercise support as needed to assist in the
  development and testing of new capabilities.
  
• Serve as liaison to critical personnel in monitoring the
  state of project development milestones.
  

Requirements

Individual Capabilities/Experience Required:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical
  Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline and at least 15 years
  of systems engineering experience. A Master’s or PhD Degree may be substituted
  for two years of experience. Note: A High School Diploma or GED plus 19 years
  of systems engineering experience would also be acceptable.
  
• Knowledge of National SIGINT technologies, capabilities,
  their associated system architectural components (i.e. space systems, ground
  stations, ground processing systems), and knowledge of the national collection
  requirements prioritization system and associated processes is critical.
  
• Experience with SIGINT data flows and what is needed to get
  specific data sets to different SIGINT data bases.
  
• Strong Project Management Skills.
  
• An understanding of the policy constraints associated with
  the conduct of lawful SIGINT operations is also critical to success.
  
• Must have strong written and verbal communications skills.
  
• Position requires TS/SCI clearance with polygraph.
  

Individual Capabilities/Experience Desired:

• The ideal candidate would be SIGINT Systems Subject Matter
  Expert. They should be familiar with the end-to-end system including tasking,
  collection management, collection operations, processing and dissemination
  components and processes.
  
• Ability to support re-engineering efforts that focus on
  automation, multi-access cross cueing, collaboration, and dynamic
  collection/processing orchestration.
  
• A familiarity with Overhead SIGINT systems collection
  management and architecture is useful, especially where they might employ best
  practices that may be suitable for adoption within the Terrestrial collection
  systems architecture.
  
• Experience providing exercise support in conjunction with
  system development and testing new concepts and equipment.
