Original job description

Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) is seeking a Ground Systems Engineer to provide SETA support to the Space Development Agency (SDA). The engineer will mainly support the Advanced Fire Control (AFC)T2 Ground Segment, PWSA Futures engineering, and cross‑program integration activities that ensure the readiness, resilience, and performance of ground systems supporting the Advanced Fire Control and the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA).

This includes detailed systems analysis, schedule integration, interface definition, and readiness assessment across multiple tranches and ground system configurations. This role is highly technical, fast-paced, and requires close coordination with Government PMs, space vehicle vendors, ground system performers, and enterprise engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

The selected candidate will directly support mission-critical ground segment activities. Responsibilities will include:

Ground Segment Readiness & Assessment

Develop, maintain, and refine Ground Readiness Review (GRR) guidelines and Engineering Design Reviews (EDR) used by prime contractors to configure and validate ground assets
Build and update ground readiness visualization tools to support Pre‑Ship Review (PSR) and GRR events.
Analyze Ka‑band antenna laydown modeling to identify conflicts between AFC Space Vehicle Vendors (SVV) mission contacts and provide engineering recommendations.
Evaluate and validate ground system verification evidence, coordinating with SDA SMEs to close requirements, update RVTMs, and track contractor submissions.

Critical Path & IMS Analysis

Perform detailed analysis of the program Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) to identify critical path elements, subsystem priorities, and alignment with major program milestones.
Develop and maintain a Critical Path Stop‑Light Tool linking DISA circuits to ground subsystem readiness, IVV&T dependencies, and risk drivers affecting SVVF2 IOC.

Test Planning & Cross-Program Integration

Create and maintain SVV test matrix charts mapping subsystem dependencies across AFCGI for AFC programs.
Support cross‑functional TEMs to assess network requirements (e.g., IPv6 vs. IPv4) and coordinate related system engineering decisions.
Analyze SVV interaction and test readiness across phases (e.g., launch readiness, operational readiness, SVV ground resource dependencies).
Coordinate with the Space Data Network (SDN) team to evaluate AFCGI and SVV interfaces supporting future architectures.

Ground Systems Engineering & Enterprise Coordination

Work with SDA South, Enterprise IT, and Facilities personnel to support ground infrastructure readiness, inspections, facility operations, and technology integration at the Demonstration Operations Center (DOC).
Review ERB packages, configuration items, and technical documentation impacting the AFC Ground Infrastructure designs and milestones.

Customer Support & Documentation

Prepare technical artifacts, reports, and analysis summaries for PMO consumption.
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)/MOU – Develop MOAs with corresponding mission partners

Required Qualifications

Active TS/SCI clearance or Active Secret clearance with the capability to obtain a TS/SCI within 6 months
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, computer science, or equivalent
8+ years of relevant experience in ground systems engineering, satellite operations, or space system integration
Experience with DoD space acquisition, systems engineering processes, readiness reviews, or integration and test
Ability to interpret and analyze IMS schedules, interface specifications, network architectures, and system test plans
Strong communication skills and experience collaborating with Government stakeholders and vendor teams
Ability to independently lead technical assessments and readiness activities

Desired Qualifications

Experience implementing DISA network requirements, ICDs, and test readiness criteria
Background in RF/Ka‑band systems, antenna, functionality, or SVV testing
Experience with network protocol analysis (IPv4/IPv6), cross‑system interface definition, or complex ground‑to‑space integration
Familiarity with MBSE tools or digital engineering workflows
PMP, INCOSE ASEP/CSEP, or equivalent certification If the position is based in COS, then this could read: Active Secret clearance with the capability to obtain a TS/SCI within 6 months.
Working remote, we can’t go classified (yet). When visiting Meadows, a TS is highly desirable and will eventually be required.

Location: Remote telework hybrid - Northern Virginia, Colorado Springs, CO
