The successful candidate should be knowledgeable about various power and energy to improve Sponsor’s systems production or functionality. Duties Develop well-documented, actionable, measurable, testable, traceable, requirements to identify needs or opportunities, and defined to a level of detail sufficient for system design. Support development and allocation of system requirements to system components and maintain traceability between user and component-level system requirements. Develop SOWs and associated requirements documents. Identify and maintain awareness of power/energy to support intelligence analysis, obtain and maintain access to such data, and develop/perform queries against those sources. Provide initial analysis of the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, develop analytic judgements such as relevance or vulnerabilities, and prepare briefings/reports documenting the methodology used and the results obtained. Develop new power systems and equipment (including generators, motors, and transformers) design concepts that are consistent with architectural guidance and industry best practices and analyze the cost, schedule, and performance implications of these design concepts. Perform modeling or testing for performance of the systems, including load flow, short circuit, stability, and relay coordination. Assist with the assessment of development system design and implementation deliverables. Discover and forecast power and energy technologies and products advancing mission capabilities. Scout and perform market analysis assessing the potential of new products, support technology transfer and adoption. Provide independent assessment of projects regarding technical risk including risk definition, assessment, prioritizing, and mitigation. Review technical challenges, propose recommended courses of action and document. Provide technical expertise providing detailed understanding of current systems and potential system improvements; may involve modeling, prototyping. Apply techniques and methods for technology development and efforts at all stages of the life cycle management process. Conduct investigative activities to improve existing products or procedures.
