Space Systems Systems Engineer

The Systems Engineering Division (SED)offers unparalleledexpertisein systems engineering to the U.S. government and various public and private agencies universities nonprofit organizations consortia and commercial companies involved in the advanced development and application of space systems. From systems CONOPs and architecture development to system design and analysis mission assurance cost and schedule assessment and economic market analysis SEDleveragesa vast array of engineering and business disciplines across a diverse and dynamic portfolio of space programs and national challenges spanning the total space system lifecycle.

TheSpace Systems ImplementationDepartment in SED provides development assessment and closure of spacevehiclesystems. As an Engineering Specialist or Senior Engineering Specialist of this department you will be supporting the acquisition of the next generation of innovative spacevehiclesystemsto solve the most challenging problems of our US Space Force Intelligence Community NASA NOAA and commercial/international customers.

The selected candidate willbe requiredto workfull-timeon-site at our facility inChantilly VA.

WhatYoullBe Doing

• Providingspacevehiclesystemsengineering support for customer programs with a focus on the intelligence community

• Leading andparticipatingin studies to include multi-disciplinary engineering teams to assess breadth of spacesystemdesigns for accuracy and completeness

• Evaluating the feasibility of spacesystemdesigns during key milestone reviews such as Preliminary Design Review Critical Design Review etc.

• Delivering products requiring space systems engineeringexpertise

• Working proactively and autonomously with government program office and contractor personnel as well as other members of Aerospaces engineering group

• Establishing high-performing teams with government program office and contractor personnel as well as other members of Aerospaces engineering group

• Mentoring junior members of the department
