- Internal Block Diagrams (IBDs)o Block Definition Diagrams (BDDs)
- System Interface Diagrams
- Map high-level system-of-systems architectures illustrating interoperability between ships, aircraft, shore facilities, tactical data links, SATCOM systems, afloat networks, and tactical communications.
- Analyze system interfaces, communications paths, data flows, and interoperability requirements to ensure end- to-end operational capability.
- Maintain requirements traceability between customer requirements, architecture products, engineering artifacts, and verification activities.
- Support Digital Engineering initiatives by developing MBSE models that improve collaboration, visualization, and engineering decision-making.
- Collaborate with Government stakeholders to develop current-state and future-state architectures supporting modernization and capability upgrades.
Systems Integration, Installation & Testing
- Support installation planning and execution for afloat and shore-based C4I systems.
- Perform engineering analysis supporting system integration activities.
- Participate in site surveys, installation planning conferences, and technical reviews.
- Support Government Acceptance Testing (GAT), System Operational Verification Testing (SOVT), Factory
- Acceptance Testing (FAT), and operational test events.
- Analyze installation discrepancies and recommend corrective actions.
- Validate system functionality following installation and modernization efforts.
- Coordinate engineering support during ship availabilities and system fielding events.
Technical Analysis & Requirements Management
- Analyze customer requirements and translate operational needs into engineering solutions.
- Perform engineering trade studies supporting system upgrades and modernization.
- Support interface analysis between communications, networking, tactical data links, and combat systems.
- Evaluate system performance and recommend improvements.
- Identify engineering risks and develop mitigation strategies.
- Support configuration management and engineering change documentation.
Collaboration & Technical Support
- Serve as a technical liaison between Government customers, engineering organizations, and installation teams.
- Provide technical guidance to installation personnel and program leadership.
- Develop engineering briefings, technical reports, white papers, and status updates.
- Support engineering planning for future capability enhancements.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful delivery of engineering objectives.
