Leidos has an exciting opening for a FABIS Biometrics Subject Matter Expert.  You will support the DOMEX Technology Platform (DTP) Data Processing Pipeline (DPP) advising and assisting Facial Automated Biometric Identification System (FABIS) technologists and operators developing and managing the FABIS platform. You will be available to support training, oversight, mentoring, and as-needed hands-on engagement with the FABIS codebase or platform to ensure effective delivery of FABIS development and O&M activities. You will work with DTP TO2 engineers and project managers to ensure clean transition and continued mission effectiveness of the FABIS system.

You will work closely with the team on the following key tasks

• Update and compose training and configuration documentation to ensure continued effective operation of the FABIS platform;
• Produce and provide code, functions, scripts, or software configurations germane to ongoing FABIS support and development.

Candidates must have a demonstrated ability to work in a dynamic and challenging environment and possess a solid understanding of the software development life cycle all while working within an Agile framework.

To be successful in this role you need these skills (required):
