• Lead technical baseline management efforts across system segments, ensuring consistency, traceability, and configuration control.
• Provide expert systems engineering guidance for design reviews, requirements verification, technical evaluations, and integration milestones.
• Support architecture development for EM and Tactical ISR systems, ensuring alignment across payloads, ground systems, and mission threads.
• Conduct detailed problem analysis, generate data‑driven technical reports, and brief senior DoD stakeholders on findings and recommended actions.
• Coordinate technical changes across government and industry stakeholder groups through formal review boards (e.g., CCB, ERB).
• Support system integration and test planning, including CONOPS development, verification approaches, and interface management.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to implement solutions spanning hardware, software, and mission operations.
• Provide acquisition and programmatic input to inform key decisions across the lifecycle of advanced space missions.

Required Qualifications:

• 4+ years experience in large‑scale space systems engineering, integration, or development programs.
• 2+ years experience developing and managing technical specifications, ICDs, CONOPS, architectural designs, and integration/test plans.
• Experience leading requirements and interface‑management efforts for major programs.
• Experience presenting and coordinating technical changes across large stakeholder groups or review boards.
• Familiarity with configuration control processes.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Word).
• Knowledge of systems engineering standards, including IEEE 15288.1 and IEEE 15288.2.
• Clearance: Active Top Secret Clearance and ability to acquire SCI / SAP Access
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience integrating and testing space‑based remote sensing systems, including SBIRS, Next Gen OPIR, FORGE, WSF‑M, or EWS.
• Experience applying MBSE methods to manage system definitions and technical baselines.
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, or similar workflow tools.
• Experience with SysML, CAMEO, Enterprise Architect, or DOORS NextGen.
• Familiarity with DoD 5000.01 / 5000.02 acquisition policy.
• Knowledge of Agile development and mission‑thread analysis.
• TS/SCI clearance desired.
• Master’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.
• INCOSE ASEP/CSEP/ESEP certification highly desired.
