POSITION OVERVIEW
RIVA Solutions is seeking a Systems Engineer V to join the NOAA N-Wave program team as the principal subject matter expert for GSA Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) and the NiOS telecom inventory platform. EIS is a large task order within NOAA’s telecommunications portfolio, and this role brings the program the specialized expertise required to manage it — spanning service inventory, carrier billing, dispute resolution, funding, and acquisition. While EIS is the primary focus, the role also manages invoice tracking, contract surveillance support, and contract support across N-Wave’s broader portfolio of telecommunications contracts.
Working closely with the government Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and alongside program, engineering, and financial staff, the Systems Engineer V develops the tracking, reporting, and reconciliation solutions that give the program clear visibility into telecom inventory, cost, and funding status. Rather than owning the underlying systems of record, the role supplies the domain expertise, data integrity practices, and tracking capability that make those systems usable for program and acquisition decisions.
This work carries consequences beyond the financial. NOAA’s warning, forecast, and observational data moves across the telecommunications infrastructure these contracts pay for, so an inventory gap, a funding shortfall, or a disconnect processed in error can interrupt services that other agencies and the public rely on for life-safety decisions. Accuracy in this role is a continuity-of-service concern first.
The successful candidate will also serve as a principal advisor on NOAA’s next-generation EIS acquisition strategy and on the transition from the current contract vehicle as it approaches expiration.
