and scheduling software capabilities across the Ground Enterprise.

* Requirements & CONOPS engineering — Capture customer needs and translate them

into refined requirements, architectures, and CONOPS for GEOINT software

services.

* Cross‑organization technical integration — Coordinate technical discussions

with SMEs and stakeholders to define future space and ground capability needs

and shape system‑level decisions.

* Mission architecture planning — Conduct technical trade studies, evaluate

emerging technologies, and recommend future software service architectures.

* Performance & risk assessments — Evaluate performance, cost, schedule, and

risk impacts to existing and emerging GEOINT ground‑system implementations.

* Acquisition engineering — Develop systems engineering artifacts for

Statements of Work, RFPs, and acquisition documentation; support proposal

evaluations.
