Job Title: Ground Systems Test & Integration EngineerJob Description

This role focuses on leading the integration, test, and verification of next-generation satellite ground mission planning systems in a fully onsite environment in Colorado Springs, CO. You will guide major sections of ground system software development, collaborate closely with system engineering and test teams, and ensure that complex ground segment operational products meet customer requirements. The position offers the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology in an agile environment, contribute to mission-critical MILSATCOM ground systems, and grow into advanced technical or leadership roles within a collaborative, professional, and mentoring culture.

Responsibilities

Provide technical leadership and guidance for major portions of satellite ground mission planning system development, including ground system software integration and test.
Apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design, develop, integrate, and verify complex system-of-systems and ground system solutions across the full lifecycle.
Evaluate customer and operational needs to define, refine, and coordinate system performance requirements, ensuring compatibility across all physical, functional, and program interfaces.
Perform analyses to optimize total system and system-of-systems architecture, incorporating affordability, safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, human systems integration, survivability, vulnerability, susceptibility, system security, regulatory and certification factors, and product assurance into preferred configurations.
Develop, maintain, and improve processes, tools, and practices for requirements management, including planning, organization, implementation, monitoring, risk and issue management, opportunity management, and technology readiness assessments.
Lead and support the integration and test of ground segment operational products, ensuring that components and subsystems function as intended within the overall mission planning system.
Develop, execute, and document comprehensive system integration and test plans, procedures, and reports for components, subsystems, and larger functional systems.
Lead test entrance and exit reviews, ensuring test readiness, clear acceptance criteria, and thorough evaluation of test results and system performance.
Support the development of complex system-level operational threads required to run missions in space, coordinating with system engineers, analysts, and software developers.
Participate actively in requirements and architecture reviews, providing input on testability, portability, maintainability, and other system quality attributes.
Work closely with customers, users, and operators to define functional and performance requirements, software interfaces, use cases, and user stories for satellite ground systems.
Collaborate with supplier and contractor software, system engineering, and test teams on requirement generation, requirement verification, and support to the delivered customer system.
Lead or contribute to major program reviews, presenting technical content clearly and effectively and overseeing the technical quality of system documentation.
Resolve cross-functional technical issues by coordinating across engineering disciplines and integrated product teams to maintain system integrity and mission success.
Apply and follow established ground system processes and procedures, while identifying opportunities for improvement in integration, test, and requirements verification activities.

Essential Skills

Active U.S. Secret Security Clearance, with eligibility based on a clearance active within the past 24 months.
U.S. Citizenship, as required for holding and maintaining the necessary security clearance.
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or a non-U.S. equivalent directly related to the work.
3+ years of engineering experience in fields relevant to system integration, test, or software systems engineering.
Hands-on experience with ground system engineering, software integration and test, and formal qualification of complex systems.
Experience in software systems engineering or test, including analysis of system and subsystem requirements, interface design, system integration, system test, verification, and demonstration.
Experience in all aspects of test management, including test definition, test execution, verification traceability, and unit, factory, and site customer testing.
Experience working with customers and operators to define functional and performance requirements, software interfaces, use cases, and user stories.
Experience with satellite ground systems and the satellite operations domain, particularly in mission planning and operations.
Experience collaborating with developers using agile development tools and practices, including participation in agile ceremonies and iterative development.
Experience using Atlassian Jira for requirements tracking, task management, defect tracking, and agile collaboration.
Strong oral and written communication skills, including the ability to present at major program reviews and lead the technical content of system technical documents.
Ability to work effectively in a team environment and interact constructively with system engineers, analysts, software developers, and other members of integrated product teams.
Willingness and ability to travel domestically as needed to support integration, test, and customer engagements.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Bachelors degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
An additional 3+ years of related engineering experience beyond the minimum, particularly in ground systems, MILSATCOM, or complex mission systems.
Experience with Agile processes, including agile planning, iterative development, and continuous integration and delivery practices.
Familiarity with Model-Based Engineering across the development lifecycle, including use of models for requirements, architecture, and verification.
Operational knowledge of key MILSATCOM systems and military communication architectures.
Basic understanding of orbital dynamics, RF communications, satellite links, transponder loading, and related satellite communications concepts.
Experience with satellite bus and payload resource management, including planning and allocation of spacecraft resources.
Familiarity with system integration and test processes and execution for complex, mission-critical systems.
Experience in requirements decomposition and verification, including traceability from high-level customer needs to test cases and verification activities.
