Systems Engineer Mission Integration

Bachelor's or advanced degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, software engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, physics, mathematics, data science, engineering management, or a closely related technical discipline, plus a minimum of 7 years of relevant professional experience.

Broad engineering experience across several of the following areas: logistics, mission analysis, architecture, hardware, software, networks, communications, data, cybersecurity, integration, testing, modeling, infrastructure, operations, or sustainment.

Demonstrated ability to understand complex technical problems, identify root causes and dependencies, develop practical solution options, and explain the results of analyses and trade studies to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Experience developing or assessing architectures, logistics plans, operational threads, functional boundaries, interfaces, data flows, technical baselines, performance measures, integration criteria, or test evidence for a complex capability.

Experience integrating multiple products, subsystems, programs, or organizations with different technical assumptions, schedules, ownership boundaries, and levels of maturity.

Ability to convert operational or technical needs into clear outcomes, constraints, decision points, knowledge points, integration actions, and measurable evidence without over-prescribing a solution too early.

Experience supporting technical reviews, demonstrations, integration events, test activities, anomaly resolution, user evaluations, or transition to operations.

Demonstrated ability to build trust across organizational boundaries, influence without formal authority, resolve technical disagreement constructively, and secure clear commitments to shared outcomes.

Ability to produce concise technical documentation and executive briefings, including architecture options, trade-space analyses, risk views, interface and dependency summaries, integration plans, and decision recommendations.

Strong organization, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to independently lead defined technical efforts in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

Ability to work in a hybrid environment in Albuquerque, New Mexico and support periodic coordination or travel to Colorado Springs, CO and sites, as required.

Active TS clearance with in-scope T5/SSBI is required, along with SCI eligibility and participation in Continuous Evaluation.

Must meet all requirements for SCI and SAP access and be willing to undergo a polygraph examination.

Master's degree in a relevant technical, operational, data, cybersecurity, acquisition, or management discipline.

Experience with space mission capabilities such as Satellite Control, telemetry, tracking and control, command and control, mission management, communications, ground systems, or space-ground integration.

Experience with modular open architectures, interface standards, application programming interfaces, data models, interoperability, configuration boundaries, and replaceable capability increments.

Experience using mission modeling, simulation, digital integration environments, data analytics, automation, dashboards, or other tools to accelerate technical learning and decision quality.

Experience with competitive prototyping, commercial products, rapid capability maturation, focused demonstrations, or other acquisition approaches that preserve options and shorten time-to-field.

Experience connecting technical delivery to operational acceptance, training, infrastructure, cybersecurity, continuity, sustainment, production, or fielding considerations.

Experience assessing cross-program schedules, integration windows, technical maturity, industrial capacity, production scalability, or transition risk at the portfolio level.

Credentials in architecture, integration, software, networks, cybersecurity, testing, data analytics, acquisition, program leadership, or product delivery.
