System Engineer 2/3

Provide System Engineering support to Enable Source Operations (ESO) access(es) through the revitalization of a metric system that will incorporate data from several agency production systems as well as ESO-controlled NIFIs. The metric system will bring all this information together into a one-stop shop tool for engineers, analysts, and managers to use daily and will require a variety of views for all the different personnel using it. This task will require knowledge of agency production systems, SPLUNK, and an understanding of Linux operating systems. This task entails working with each program's respective ESO team, Intelligence Community (IC) partners, and Target Office of Primary Interest (TOPI) for optimization purposes. The primary program of focus for this effort is ESO Data Services.

Provide System Engineering support to Enabled Source Operations (ESO) to revitalize a metric system that incorporates data from several agency production systems as well as ESO-controlled NIFIs. The metric system will bring all this information together into a one-stop shop tool for engineers, analysts, and managers to use daily and will require different views for the different use cases/personnel.

Performance Objectives/Tasks:

• Support ESO Mission Support's Data Services Team to update/register existing metrics systems or design and implement a sound process to generate and display new ESO dataflow metrics using Elastic Search / Kibana or similar tools.
• Support ESO Mission Support's Data Services Team in designing and implementing a sound process to generate and display ESO dataflow metrics using a big data metric tool such as Splunk or ELK.
• Collaborate to identify and document information and capability needs, stewarding associated requirements per engagements with solution providers and other enabling organizations.
• Represent ESO interests as the dataflow metric tools evolve. As needed, support ESO Collection Managers and ESO Technical Leads, as well as others, to help them: answer metric-related actions promptly, understand the data feed prioritization process; establish appropriate weightings for ESO-related measures; contribute qualitative and quantitative input to the prioritization; and analyze and assess the validity of results.
• Partner with domain SMEs to develop a working understanding of current business objectives, data, tradecraft, stakeholders, and analytic workflows within the ESO mission area to introduce advanced analytic methods.
• Collaborate with ESO analysts and developers to understand current analytic needs, and establish a good working knowledge of common procedures, capabilities, and methodologies of ESO.
• Design, document, and provide discovery and analytic services to the Enabled Sources Operations (ESO) organization within the Collection, Exploitation & Cryptanalysis Operations (CECO) organization. If needed, assist with the transition into a customer-facing prototype and transfer to production.
• Document and build user awareness of advanced analytic logic to ensure results can be understood and evaluated. Where possible include advanced users in the quality control and improvement process.
• Create a solution to pull metrics from agency Production Systems using Rest API, Jupyter Notebook, or various other methods.
• Run solution through full production registration.

Task Activities:

• Provide monthly status reports addressing the above-listed task description areas and highlighting major milestones and achievements.
• Document and share processes and outcomes with government stakeholders.
• Provide input in the following technical areas:

Network Analysis

Network Intelligence Analysis
