Background:

Assured Consulting Solutions provides strategic and innovative solutions for customer needs across the business, technology, and organizational spectrum. As a member of our team, you will have the chance to work with customers that are both Government and industry leaders and technology innovators.

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Project Engineer to execute engineering tasks, taking a multi-discipline approach to full lifecycle engineering including but not limited to requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability and analysis across the NSG, ASG and Federal Agencies to ensure timely and accurate GEOINT. Provide a substantial portion, if not all of, the engineering support to the teams to which they are assigned.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Conduct scientific validation and exploration of geophysical and photogrammetric near-real time modeling to support the development of a global, collaborative, 4D geoscience system and predictive modeling capability which enables enable the creation of actionable intelligence from complex scientific content to support DoD and NSG requirements.
• Document statistical protocols used to determine earth science parameters most significant for geoscientific modeling and identify critical attribution for vegetation/land cover and soil moisture/material characteristics. Collect supportive metrics from quantitative analysis for metric data to enable automation of "massive" geophysical modeling – to include World Magnetic Model and gravity model data.
• Ensure access to data and networks on the digital (IT) foundation for the target development and demonstration platforms such as cloud, NGA data centers, Blue Factory, Research Lab Environment systems, GPU acceleration, other desirable target platforms; getting new packages and software and hardware approved.
• Support the digital data foundation for GEOINT mission threads and sources, data curation, and methods.
• Advise the Government on the Earth Modeling domain, including feature and foundation data and intelligence data and sources and sensors and the analyst workflows associated with government-chosen mission threads.
• Perform the full lifecycle of engineering support including but not limited to requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability analysis, resiliency analysis, development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability analysis, and decommissioning.
