Original job description

Join a mission driven satellite program at the forefront of national defense innovation. Our team is developing cutting edge technologies that directly support critical Department of War priorities, combining both proven and first-of-their-kind capabilities that have never been applied in space. Operating within a fast-paced acquisition environment, we benefit from streamlined authorities and direct access to senior Government decisionmakers, enabling us to move quickly and execute aggressive schedules using the most innovative contracting strategies available. SAIC is seeking self-directed leaders who skillfully navigate ambiguity, solve complex challenges, and bring diverse expertise to a dynamic environment focused on delivering capability rapidly. Success here requires adaptability, initiative, and a willingness to wear multiple hats in support of a high impact mission. Candidates experienced as USAF/USSF acquisition officers (AFSC: 63A) or developmental engineers (AFSC: 62E) leading satellite programs in the USSF (SSC), NRO, or SDA, applying the full range of the systems engineering discipline (e.g., Requirements Development, Architecture, SE milestones: SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.), and/or DAWIA/PMI Program Management will be especially well-prepared to excel.

Job Description:

This position is for a Ground Command and Control Systems Engineer in Chantilly, VA supporting cutting-edge and innovative space programs.

Role Responsibilities:

Develop ground requirements and evaluate vendor solutions in the acquisition phase.
Support verification, validation, and deployment to operations of ground solutions.
Collaborate with key stakeholders on ICDs, interface maturation, inclusion of new interfaces in support of mission closure.
Identify and assess emerging technical risks related to the ground systems and collaborate with system contractor team(s) to develop and evaluate mitigation strategies.
Conduct trade studies to define and refine requirements for future satellite capabilities.
Support acquisition documentation development (CDRLs, SOWs, MPPs, etc) related to ground systems.
Support readiness reviews and major program reviews to evaluate ground system readiness.
Resolve highly complex and multi-dimensional problems requiring consideration of variables that impact multiple aspects of the project/program.
Develop documents and briefings to communicate work or study status and brief Government and industry as required.
Bachelors and five (5) years or more experience; Masters and three (3) years or more experience.
Excellent interpersonal, team building and problem-solving skills with a demonstrated ability to be effective in a government/contractor team environment.
Experience with satellite ground systems specifically related to mission management and command and control.
Experience providing systems engineering support and technical guidance in the acquisition, development, and deployment of satellite ground systems.
Ability to work in a very dynamic environment and effectively interact with numerous DOD, military/civilian personnel and industry partners.
Ability to facilitate technical discussions with SMEs.
Ability to communicate with a diverse audience of decision makers with varying levels of programmatic and technical expertise.
Effective communication, coordination, and customer engagement skills.
Ability to work in a fast paced, dynamic, and team environment with no supervision.
TS/SCI Required.
Previous SAP experience desired.
