Member of Technical Staff - Systems Engineering) participate in and lead
architecture trade studies, architecture conceptualization studies,
architecture modeling tasks, and program assessment analyses at multiple
levels of complexity, ranging from prototype systems to full scale acquired
systems to complex systems of systems to missions and enterprises. SAD applies
and develops disciplined system architecting principles and leads
cross-functional teams to provide impactful guidance to assist our customers
in making key acquisition, operational, and enterprise management decisions.
