    Default job background
    Description

    The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation's space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space- delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you'll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.

    At Aerospace, we are committed to providing an inclusive and diverse workplace for all employees to share in our common passion and aspiration - to carry out a mission much bigger than ourselves.

    The Ground Systems Engineer in the Space Rapid Capabilities Directorate within the Agile Acquisition Division will support the development and integration of a critical ground system for the Space Rapid Capabilities Office (SpRCO). The SpRCO is rapidly developing and fielding highly classified critical space capabilities for the space enterprise. The Ground Systems Engineer will actively participate in all phases of the ground development to ensure operationally dominant space capabilities are delivered at the speed of warfighting relevance. This includes technical support for vehicle to ground system integration, development of command and control services, providing engineering support and contractor oversight of the acquisition, development of evolving system architectures to support operations testing, readiness, and on-orbit operations.

    Work Model

    This is an on-site position based at the Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, NM or Colorado Springs, CO.

    What You'll Be Doing

    • Coordinate with Government, SETA, and contractor teams to field a critical ground system
    • Support program reviews, design, development, test, and transition to operations efforts
    • Understand and ensure implementation of requirements for ground system design, mission concept of operations, prototype and test, initial flight checkout, flight operations, and operational transition support
    • Provide mission assurance and assist with ground architecture development and integration efforts in a commercial cloud environment
    • Identify risk areas and mitigation efforts to meet mission objectives
    • Work closely with Program Manager (O-5)
    • Solicit and oversee members of the Aerospace Engineering Technical Group (ETG) to employ their expertise on critical problems the local program office may find difficult to solve
    • Routinely present status updates to Senior Material Leaders (O-6) and Space SpRCO Director (SES-2)
    • Interface with multiple government agencies to provide capability to the warfighter

    What You Need to be Successful

    Minimum Requirements:

    • BS degree in engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, or related STEM field is required
    • Direct space experience is required (satellite ground development or operations)
    • 12 or more years of progressively responsible experience in systems engineering or program management
    • Demonstrated ability to work within teams
    • Demonstrated ability to work in a highly dynamic Program Office environment with a mix of government, FFRDC, and SETA personnel
    • Excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills; experience presenting and writing technical information
    • Travel is required
    • This position requires a current TS/SCI security clearance with SAP eligibility, which is issued by the US Government. U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.

    How You Can Stand Out

    It would be impressive if you have one or more of these:

    • Advanced degree in technical discipline (engineering, science or math)
    • Extensive satellite operations experience to include satellite ground system development and / or testing
    • Extensive satellite design / integration Systems Engineering experience
    • Systems Engineering experience with rapid operational systems
    • An excellent personal technical reputation and a record of personal technical achievement
    • Program office and management experience
    • Working knowledge of expertise from across the Aerospace corporation, especially subject matter experts and laboratory operations with the ability to support customer needs
