ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONAL COMMUNITIES Ms. Kristen Baldwin Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Systems Engineering In the Engineering and the Production, Quality, and Manufacturing career fields, our emphasis is on acquisition excellence. Our goal is to position the Defense Acquisition Workforce for success by focusing on technical excellence and providing consistent and integrated policy and guidance. This will help ensure we have the right breadth and depth of skills and capabilities in the workforce. Engineering The Engineering career field’s workforce has a vital role in fielding high-quality, innovative, affordable, supportable, and effective defense systems. Its role requires developing and implementing an integrated, total life-cycle, balanced set of systems, people, and process solutions that satisfy the customer’s needs and meet the DoD’s affordability goals. This requires technical competency, critical and strategic thinking, understanding various product domains, and knowledge of other engineering disciplines. The Engineering career field curriculum is designed to bring breadth and depth of knowledge to this workforce at the appropriate certification level. The curriculum focuses on the technical processes, technical management processes, application of systems engineering throughout the system acquisition life cycle, and the ability to apply critical systems-thinking concepts to complex technical management problems. Production, Quality, and Manufacturing (PQM) The PQM career field plays a vital role in ensuring DoD products are delivered on time, perform as expected, and are cost-effective. The evolution in systems design has increased the demand for manufacturing talent throughout the acquisition life cycle. The DoD will continue to develop sophisticated systems, which frequently push the state- of- the- art, as DoD responds to a variety of demands. To address our systems’ complexity, DoD needs a competent PQM workforce. The PQM curriculum reflects the understanding that production readiness should not wait until the end of the development process. Producibility should be systematically examined throughout the design and development process so manufacturing cost- drivers and risks can be identified and mitigated early in system development. At the same time, early production planning is necessary to identify and mitigate alleviate risks in order to help easeduring the transition from development to production, a major risk event for programs. PQM courses are also designed to produce quality assurance professionals who can advise and collaborate with customers and suppliers, to help them integrate quality assurance practices into their manufacturing processes.

• Stakeholder Requirements Definition as demonstrated by working with the user to establish and refine operational needs, attributes, performance parameters, and constraints and ensuring all relevant requirements and design considerations are addressed.

Technical Management

Demonstrated expert knowledge of: Required:

• Requirements Analysis as demonstrated by analyzing, deriving and allocating feasible and effective requirements, verification methods and criteria from user capabilities/requirements.

• Integration as demonstrated by planning for and managing technical issues that arise during the integration process and providing feedback into the design solution process and technical baselines.

• Design Considerations as demonstrated through incorporation of items, listed under the “Design Considerations” section of the Systems Engineering Defense Acquisition Guidebook chapter (i.e., Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH), Human Systems Integration (HSI), System Security Engineering (SSE), etc.), within the systems engineering process.

• Technical Assessment as demonstrated by planning and executing technical reviews to assess program maturity and risk to determine sufficiency to continue with technical development; developing and using metrics (i.e. TPMs, MOEs, risk, etc.) to measure technical progress, and determining/implementing corrective actions.

• Configuration and Interface Management as demonstrated by planning, defining, controlling and auditing system baselines including interfaces (internal and external) to ensure system is interoperable and fulfills operational needs.

Preferred: • Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) as demonstrated by integrating R&M design

analysis and test activities within the program’s systems engineering processes. • System of Systems (SoS) as demonstrated by overseeing the planning, analyzing,

organizing, and integrating the capabilities of a mix of existing and new systems into an SoS capability greater than the sum of the constituent parts.

• Software Engineering as demonstrated by successful planning, estimating, measuring, and managing software as part of system design development, acquisition and sustainment processes.

Business Management Demonstrated expert knowledge of:

Required: • Understanding of Defense Acquisition as demonstrated by broad knowledge of

defense strategic planning, defense acquisition policies, Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) or equivalent, and Planning, Programming, Budgeting & Execution (PPBE).

• Acquisition Planning as demonstrated by determining the appropriate level of technical activity and resources required to develop cost estimates, acquisition strategies, technical contract language and artifacts supporting successful and comprehensive source selection and contract award.

• Contract Management as demonstrated by oversight of contractor technical performance, including risk and opportunity management, earned value management, and incentivizing for technical performance.

Currency:

• REQUIRED: 80 hours Continuous Learning every 2 years (preferably targeted training from multiple DAWIA career field curricula) to include at least: o 30 hours in ENG career field o 10 hours cross functional training o 10 hours of leadership training
