Mission Engineering SpecialistSenior Mission Engineering Specialist

The Enterprise Effects Division (EED) drives integration of Aerospaces strategic capabilities across the national space enterprise. The divisionleveragesa 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 space-enabled capabilities.

The Mission Engineering Department(MED)provides technicalexpertiseand leadership in mission engineering methods processes and tools to a broad range of customers includingDoDNSS NASA NOAA NNSA and others. Members of the Mission Engineering Department evaluate and assess customer mission-integration needs and/or challenges develop end-to-end mission threads andprovidetimelyadvice make recommendations to enterprise leaders on risks issues and gaps and develop recommended solutions to enable desired mission outcomes.MEDapplies the mission-engineering tradecraft tocharacterizebuildand analyze end-to-end effects-chains.

Engineering Specialists/ SeniorEngineering Specialiststypically serve as technical authority consultant primary investigator or team leader on one or more projects. They leadand/or organize interfaces between customers and Aerospace technical and management staff coordinate large-scale technical efforts across program/project lines mentor and serve as role models for junior staff.

WhatYoullBe Doing

• Design and develop system of systems and enterprise engineering MBSE models and mission engineering principles to capture end-to-end mission threads

• Develop and integrate analytical methods and tools to evaluate program and mission strategic concepts to influence solution conceptual designs for performance risk and resilience to disruptive events or threats

• Lead development of architecture for modeling simulation and data tools and their interactions defining concepts of operations and use cases and overseeing implementation to ensure that intendedobjectivesare met

• Lead and develop models and analysis toidentifyrisksinnew capabilities. The analysis will include strategic assessments operations resources networks anddata across the national security space enterprise. The recommendations will inform customer decisions on priorities funding requirements and resourcing for organizations systems and training

• Lead project teamscomprisingAerospace customer and contractor personnel on multiple concurrent projects to elicit andidentifyneeds requirements and constraints for studies and marshal technicalexpertisein multiple technical disciplines and domains to enable concurrent engineering approaches

• Mentor early career and experienced staff serving as a role model and technical advisor to an exceptionally talented and highly motivated cadre of mission engineers to develop department capabilities and meet emergingdemandsfor departmentexpertise
