Enterprise Systems Integration

• Lead enterprise-wide systems integration efforts across NGA Program Executive Offices (PEOs) and Mission Partners.

• Serve as a trusted advisor to government stakeholders on integration strategy, architecture modernization, and enterprise transformation initiatives.

• Establish partnerships across organizations to drive synchronized integration planning and execution.

• Lead high-visibility integration projects from concept development through Transition to Operations (TTO).

Architecture & Engineering

• Lead architecture gap analyses and development of future-state enterprise architectures.

• Perform engineering assessments, trade studies, Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs), and Courses of Action (COAs) to support strategic investment decisions.

• Analyze enterprise baselines and ensure end-to-end traceability between requirements, architecture, interfaces, and system capabilities.

• Capture and translate mission and customer needs into technical requirements and integrated solutions.

Digital Engineering & Technical Leadership

• Drive adoption of Digital Engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies.

• Develop integrated project plans, CONOPS, target-state architectures, roadmaps, and engineering documentation.

• Lead cross-functional Integrated Project Teams supporting GEOINT modernization initiatives across Analytic, Collection Management, Data Services, Foundation GEOINT, and IT domains.

• Define and improve modern systems integration processes using Agile, Digital Engineering, AI, and industry best practices.

• Mentor engineers and integrators while identifying new opportunities to expand team capabilities and support customer mission needs.

Governance & Collaboration

• Participate in NGA governance, configuration management, and risk management activities.

• Ensure enterprise documentation remains aligned across architecture, requirements, interfaces, and engineering baselines.

• Provide technical leadership during enterprise planning, coordination, and decision-making efforts.
