Our client-centric approach, coupled with our deep domain expertise and technical prowess, enables us to forge enduring relationships and consistently deliver high-impact, adaptive solutions that resonate with the unique needs of the public sector.

Job Overview
The Business Analyst is the bridge between FMCSA stakeholders and the contractor delivery team, translating mission needs from the Office of the Chief Digital and Information Officer (OCDIO) and the RICE program owners into well-formed user stories, acceptance criteria, and process models that the development team can build against on the BOAT low-code platform.

This is a full-time, hybrid role aligned to core business hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern. Primary work happens at a contractor facility in the National Capital Region; on-site presence at DOT Headquarters, 1200 New Jersey Ave SE, Washington, DC, is required within one business day of Government request.

  • Run two-week discovery and backlog grooming sessions at the start of each Application Onboarding and Sustainment option period.
Process Modeling, Wireframes, and Design Support
  • Produce process models and workflow diagrams for the case handling workflow.
  • Develop wireframes and screen flows for the web-facing intake.
  • Document role-based access expectations per persona.
  • Contribute to the high-level design during Discovery.
Acceptance Criteria, UAT, and Quality Engineering
  • Define acceptance criteria for each user story before development starts and confirm sign-off conditions with the Product Owner.
  • Coordinate User Acceptance Testing planning and execution, including test scenario authoring, data preparation, and defect triage.
  • Drive defect resolution with developers and verify fixes against the original acceptance criteria.
  • Surface testability gaps, ambiguous requirements, and risks during sprint planning.
Stakeholder Communication and Agile Ceremonies
  • Participate in sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement as a member of the single integrated software development team.
  • Lead Sprint Demos for business stakeholders, capture feedback, and route changes back to the backlog.
  • Coordinate with the Government Project Manager and Product Owner on requirement prioritization and trade-offs.
  • Maintain decision logs, action items, and meeting minutes for the IPT.
Documentation and Deliverable Support
  • Contribute to the Detailed Technical Design Document and User Guide deliverables.
  • Maintain a current data dictionary and process inventory for applications onboarded onto the BOAT platform.

  • Familiarity with process modeling notation such as BPMN, and wireframing tools such as Figma, Balsamiq, or Visio.
  • Familiarity with REST APIs and integration patterns at a requirements and acceptance-criteria level.
  • Familiarity with FISMA, NIST SP 800-53 privacy controls, and Sensitive PII handling expectations for federal IT systems.
