- Define and evolve Interface Control Documents (ICDs) to govern system interfaces to enable sensor orchestration, mission execution, and space-ground data fusion.
- Guide end-to-end system integration, from space sensor tasking through collection and distribution of actionable information for defensive and offensive space control.
- Participate in design reviews, technical interchange meetings, and test planning to ensure integrated capabilities meet warfighter space superiority objectives.
- Lead risk management activities—identifying, analyzing, and mitigating technical and programmatic risks associated with RG-XX integration.
- Coordinate across USSF, SSC, SpOC, NSDC, and USSPACECOM government agencies, commercial partners, and allied nations to establish cross-domain sensor tasking and data-sharing architectures.

- System-of-systems architecture and complex interface integration.
- Sensor integration, including knowledge of sensor data formats, sensor calibration, and data processing.
- Cloud-based ground architectures and modern C2 concepts (e.g., Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (AaaS).
- Must have an in-scope security background investigation (T5), adjudicated for SCI eligibility and enrolled in the Continuous Vetting program (if applicable).
- Must be willing to be nominated for access to Sensitive Compartmented Information and, or Special Access Programs, and consent to a polygraph examination.

- SDA technologies, including space-based electro-optical (EO) payloads, operating systems, algorithms and software, and databases for SDA data processing and storage.
- Operational space units (e.g., Delta 9, NSDC, JTF-SD, CSpOC).
- Supporting USSF/SSC space control or SDA programs.
- Prior work in U.S. Government weapons system or space mission program offices, with experience in requirements management, configuration management, change management, testing, and risk management.
- Ability to communicate complex SDA information clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical audiences.
