Space System Architect EngineerSenior Space System Architect Engineer

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 wide-ranging and 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 Architecture Concepts Department (ArCon) providesexpertisein architecture methods processes and tools to an extremely broad range of customers including National Space Security (NSS) and other defense programs NASA NOAA NNSA DHS and others.ArConstaffparticipatein and lead architecture trade studies architecture conceptualization studies architecture modeling tasks and program assessment analyses at multiple levels of complexity ranging from prototype systems to full scale acquisition systems in the space ground communications and network domains.ArConapplies disciplined system architecting principles and leads cross-functional teams toprovideimpactful guidance toassistour customers in making key acquisition and operations decisions.

Work Model: This position will follow an in-person work model at one of Aerospaces campuses in Chantilly VA Colorado Springs CO or El Segundo CA.
