• Analyze information from Government contracts and reporting systems to assess performance and identify future trends.
• Coordinate integration activities across satellite, payload, ground, and supporting system interfaces.
• Research emerging requirements, technologies, threats, methodologies, and tools relevant to remote sensing system integration.
• Apply systems engineering, integration, and test principles to support delivery of operational warfighter capabilities.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience performing systems engineering, integration, and testing for space-based remote sensing systems.
• Experience working on satellite programs.
• Experience with requirements development or verification.
• Experience with interface control document development or governance.
• Knowledge of program critical paths, earned value management, technical performance measures, technical specifications, and test reports from multiple organizations.
• Ability to assess schedule, cost, and risk issues and develop recommended solutions.
• Knowledge of Government contracts and reporting systems used to extract data and analyze future performance trends.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Physics.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with space-based Environmental Monitoring.
• Experience with Overhead Persistent Infrared, defense weather, or tactical Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance mission areas.
• Experience with remote sensing payloads, space-based weather payloads, satellite buses, and satellite subsystems.
• Experience with spacecraft subsystems including propulsion, thermal control, power, attitude control, Telemetry, Tracking, and Command, communications, data processing, and structures.
• Knowledge of DoD 5000.01 or DoD 5000.02.
• Master’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.
• INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional certification such as ASEP, CSEP, or ESEP.
• DAWIA Level III Program Manager certification or Acquisition Professional Development Program Program Management Level III certification.

Clearance & Additional Requirements

• Secret clearance required
