Mission Engineer

The Enterprise Effects Division (EED) drives integration of Aerospaces strategic capabilities across the national space enterprise. The division leverages a broad array of engineering disciplines against a dynamic portfolio of programs customers and national challenges. EED spans the capability lifecycle from concept and architecture design to performance assessment to application of space and spaceenabled capabilities.

The Mission Engineering Department provides technical expertise and leadership in mission engineering methods processes and tools to a broad range of customers including National Security Space (NSS) and other defense programs NASA NOAA NNSA and others. Members of the Mission Engineering Department evaluate and assess customer missionintegration needs and/or challenges develop endtoend mission threads and provide timely advice make recommendations to enterprise leaders on risks issues and gaps and develop recommended solutions to enable desired mission outcomes. The Mission Engineering Department applies the missionengineering tradecraft to build and analyze endtoend effectschains.
