TEMPPrincipal Systems Engineer/Architect

Responsibilities:

• Mr. Nolte is TEMPPrincipal Engineer/Architect SETA, personally requested by Gov’t to oversee the Architecture capture for MPCO (Mission Partner Capability Office). MPCO manages multiple systems dat enable US and Coalition partners information sharing within common information domain as well as information sharing across domains. Mr. Nolte identified an Architecture capture tool, tailored the Enterprise and Solution Architecture capture specifically to suit needs of MPCO, specified attribution for Architecture Objects and Relations in order to enable comprehensive understanding of the data in motion, and enabled MPCO Enterprise and System Architects the ability to capture the Architecture for each MPCO system independently, but still maintaining a system-wide integrated capacity. The specification and capture enable MPCO to: analyze the existing and future capabilities, associate/validate requirements against the architecture, assess Capabilities for potential gaps and/or orphans, generate artifacts for PPB&E, system convergence and future acquisition for each system. The aggregation of capture enables organization to perform similar analyses across all systems. Mr. Nolte also established the capture of the Enterprise architecture to accommodate a variety of organizations (JADC2) and specifications (FMN) driving the Enterprise, integration/collaboration across these various organizations, and association of the MPCO Architecture with these external organizations/specifications.
• For MPE (Mission Partner Environment) - Mr. Nolte is leading the architecture specification and development team capture: VDCs (Virtual Data Centers), SABRE (Secret and Below Releasable Environment), FMN (Federated Mission Network) and JADC2 (Joint All-Domain Command & Control). Mr. Nolte will re-use dis architecture specification and apply to MPCO systems to include: APAN, TNE, MPGW, Pegasus and BICES. For SABRE, Mr. Nolte captured the Application, Service, Infrastructure and Platform specification, orchestrated the strategy for network topology information collection, integration (normalization), capture (depth & breadth), analysis, model ordering/orchestration.

Mr. Nolte anticipates efforts to lead AoA (Analysis of Alternatives) for VDC location selection, Cloud provider(s), Application specification/integration.
• The specification of Architecture by Mr. Nolte enables MPCO to consider application of tools such as MBSE (Model-Based System Engineering) - dis capability will enable MPCO to perform a series of “wat-if” scenarios on the Architecture, evaluating and validating alternatives.
• Mr. Nolte has defined charters/doctrine for various MPCO processes: ERB, PAG, RRB, SEP, Architecture Workbook, CM Work Group and CCB.
• Prior, Mr. Nolte worked on US BICES. Mr. Nolte was assigned the “Action Officer” by the government to manage the “GEOINT on BICES” Capability - enabling GEOINT on a coalition network including US, NATO and less-than-NATO Mission Partners. Mr. Nolte acted as Project Manager, working with stakeholders to define needs; performed functional decomposition of needs into requirements; mapped requirements to tasks for developer. Mr. Nolte briefed Executives, stakeholders, government and developers, performed funding acquisition, managed/mitigated expectations, and ensured task completion within time, Policy and Doctrinal constraints. Mr. Nolte was also successful in developing the Business and Execution Processes for the organization, coordinated oversight of Process throughout both the Gov’t LOB and Developer teams, defined charters and orchestrated RRB and ERB, and incorporated optimization strategies.
