Space Domain Sensors Space Control and Missile Warning Analyst

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 Space Control and Awareness Department (SCAD) is seeking a new team member to support mission analyses and operations. SCAD performs concept development systems engineering architecture analysis algorithm development and evaluation support for national security space customers emphasizing Radar ElectroOptical (EO) and Infrared (IR) sensors orbit determination command and control missile warning/missile tracking (MW/MT) missions electronic warfare (EW) space domain awareness (SDA) and space protection and security.

The Space Domain Sensors Space Control and Missile Warning Analyst (Engineering Specialist Modeling & Simulation and Signal & Image Process Engineering) will provide project and technical leadership analytical support algorithm development systems engineering and architecting and modeling and simulation analysis for space surveillance systems tactical command and control space protection and space threat susceptibility orbit determination precision navigation and timing (PNT) missile warning and missile defense. Candidate will interact directly with government customers as well as Aerospace program office personnel in the Colorado Springs area and collaborate closely with Engineering and Technology Group (ETG) and program office personnel in El Segundo CA Chantilly VA and other locations.

Work Model: This is a 100 onsite position located in Colorado Springs CO.
