• Translate stakeholder requirements, operational concepts, and technical specifications into complete, traceable systems engineering documentation.
• Develop and maintain ICDs for network, cloud, external mission partner, Operations Center, Ground Entry Point (GEP), SVV, and enterprise services interfaces.
• Collaborate with Network Engineering, Cloud Engineering, Cybersecurity, Operations, Integration and Test, Systems Engineering, and external stakeholders to validate technical requirements and resolve interface issues.
• Ensure engineering documentation reflects deployed configurations, approved architectures, planned capability increments, system interfaces, and technical decisions.
• Support requirements decomposition, allocation, traceability, verification planning, and requirements traceability matrix updates.
• Participate in technical interchange meetings, design reviews, architecture working groups, Documentation Readiness Reviews (DRRs), and configuration control activities.
• Coordinate technical document reviews, resolve stakeholder comments, maintain version control, and manage documentation approval and release processes.
• Document current-state, planned-state, and future-state system architectures supporting PWSA tranche-based development and integration.
• Identify documentation gaps, outdated technical artifacts, interface inconsistencies, and system dependencies; develop corrective action plans.
• Support technical estimates, engineering schedules, work plans, and backlog development for systems engineering and documentation activities.
• Provide systems engineering leadership by establishing documentation priorities, quality standards, completion criteria, and technical delivery commitments across the Enterprise Services team.
