Research Innovations, Inc. (RII) is breaking through the big, slow, status quo with transformative technology that fundamentally changes and improves the world. We develop cutting-edge software for all levels of the government and military. Using agile development practices and user-centered design, we create innovative software solutions for complex real-world problems.
In this role, you will develop innovative concepts and solutions that drive the design of software systems aligned with customer and operational needs. You will collect, analyze, and synthesize mission, user, and system requirements from diverse stakeholders to shape a unified product strategy rooted in user-centered design and systems engineering best practices. Your work will include decomposing external data inputs into operational capabilities, modeling key concepts, and leading user engagement sessions to clarify, prioritize, and validate requirements. You will translate these insights into clear user stories, system specifications, and architecture documentation, while collaborating with UI/UX teams and product owners on wireframes and prototypes. As a core contributor to continuous improvement efforts, you will help refine systems engineering, user experience, and agile development processes across the program. You will also guide cross-functional teams in applying systems engineering practices, partner closely with software engineers to ensure requirements are properly implemented, and communicate system design and progress to customers through briefings, demos, and formal presentations.
