Systems Architect - Expert with Security Clearance - VTG
Springfield, VA 22150
About the Job
Overview We are seeking a NGA Systems Architect located in Springfield, VA. What will you do? The GEOINT Enterprise Architecture and the ASG Architecture are the authoritative sources of information that guide and constrain solutions architectures, services, and data so that it may be responsive to stakeholder requirements. This architecture information informs Government decisions on a number of critical activities including planning, programming, budgeting, and mission execution. Architecture information also supports key engineering services such as requirements decomposition and inter/intra-segment integration. Enterprise Architecture activities the contractor shall support in the performance of this Task Order include, but are not limited to: * Design and update Enterprise-level digital models/representations architectures that capture Enterprise requirements and provide roadmaps to balance cost, schedule and performance. * Support the continued development, maintenance, and documentation of the GEOINT Enterprise Architecture (GEA) and ASG Architecture. * Define, develop, document, and maintain the NGA, NSG, ASG, United Stated Government (USG), commercial and foreign partner As-Is and To-Be Architectures consistent with the NGA GEOINT CONOPs 2022 (and future CONOPS) and inclusive of Business, Data, Network, Security and Solutions-level sub-architectures. NGA will maintain interfaces to Government and Commercial architectures. * Define, develop, recommend, and support implementation approaches ensuring optimized cloud architecture(s), as directed. * Recommend, instantiate and operate architecture tools that support analysis and decision making through architecture data in the form of models, simulations, reports and views so that stakeholders may use architecture data in either the acquisition or development lifecycle to answer investment and divestment questions. * Create appropriate and effective architecture information and artifacts (in accordance with the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the Intelligence Community's (IC) Program Architecture Guidance (PAG)) that are relevant and usable across the NGA, NSG, ASG, USG, commercial, and foreign partners. * Assess architectural artifacts and components for compliance with NGA, NSG, ASG, USG, commercial and foreign partner standards as appropriate and provide recommendations on resolving deficiencies, gaps, and/or recommended enhancements. Ensure that the architecture is compliant with NGA's U. S. Code 50, Section 3023 requirement. * Use the Joint Architecture Reference Models (JARM) to describe, analyze, and identify potential architectural service gaps, support AOA, leverage existing resources, and assist with invest and divest decisions for the agency. * Use MBSE methods and tools to build and maintain digital systems models of services, components, systems and subsystems across the NGA, NSG, ASG, USG, commercial and foreign partners. Use MBSE to link requirement and design artifacts to solution and enterprise level architectures. * Utilize the enterprise architecture and artifacts to improve the quality of NGA's investments and engineering decisions by understanding, describing, and refining the alignment of GEOINT capabilities to people, process and technology. Assist with alignment of IT strategy and planning with the Agency's business and mission goals. * Manage and maintain the necessary processes and tools for automated maintenance and management of architecture artifacts within the repository for the enterprise. * Manage enterprise architecture documentation in collaboration with the Configuration Management function executed within NGA Foundational Engineering (NFE), as directed. Do you have what it takes? * TS/SCI with Poly * BS Degree (technical) * 18+ years experience; 16 years with PhD * Ability to perform the following:
