Intelligence

The Intelligence group provides high-end systems engineering and integration products and services, data analytics and software development to national and military intelligence customers. Serving federal agencies and the Intelligence Community for more than 50 years, the Intelligence group helps our clients meet their mission needs by providing trusted advisors, leading-edge technologies, and innovative solutions.

We are searching for candidates to provide Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) and Information Technology-Information Assurance-Information Management (IT-IA-IM) support for our client. They are responsible for all applied and advanced Research and Development, as well as the development and operation of technical demonstrations and operational prototypes. Advanced technologies are developed to support revolutionary changes and upgrades to current system operations in the conduct of the mission. Capability pathfinders are developed to inform the client on new concepts of operation, prove out new sources or methods, and explore technologies to fill mission gaps, or validate new mission areas. Specific responsibilities for this position are:

a) Determine technology transition and insertion opportunities for programs and match them with projects.
b) Support Systems Engineering, Integration and Test (SEIT) activities tailored to R&D space-based Capability Demonstration missions and innovative R&D ground solutions through all phases of program lifecycles. Provide technical and analytic ability to review, evaluate, and synthesize multiple disparate sources of information in order to provide defensible technical positions on development activities across the portfolio. Apply SEIT experiences from space, ground and/or communications acquisitions to inform development activities. Conduct SEIT coordination and planning, document SEIT products in accordance with the Enterprise Systems Engineering Management Plan (ESEMP), and support the Chief Engineer(s), Program Managers and COTRs in the execution of activities. Support knowledge management capture and maintenance of the knowledge base of information, using SharePoint and other appropriate tools, by identifying content sources, developing processes, procedures, and methodologies to manage content, and working with program management and support offices.
c) Provide support to spacecraft development, integration and test, initialization and operations. Provide technical and analytic ability in the areas of electronics and microelectronics. Evaluate thermal analyses and thermodynamic design for components and systems. Provide thorough evaluation and design assessments for various approaches to components and microelectronics. Provide assessments and evaluations of technologies that may improve the performance, reduce Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP), and/or reduce the cost of the manufacture. Provide assessments and evaluations of advanced system designs and enhanced ground-processing capabilities. Conduct or contribute to architecture studies.
d) Provide technical and analytic ability in Electro Optical (EO) technologies. Support work to develop EO payloads and processing techniques. Provide analysis of EO component design including material selection, manufacturing approaches, and operational issues.
e) Provide technical and analytic ability in radar technologies and systems, and in systems analysis, design, development, fabrication, integration, testing, and operations. Assist in maintaining existing radar tools and algorithms, and facilitate development of new, advanced algorithms.

Requires 12 to 15 years with BS/BA or 10 to 13 years with MS/MA or 7 to 9 years with Ph.D.
