ENGINEER III - SYSTEMS ENGINEER Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Clearance: Active Secret clearance required, ability to obtain TS preferred
OVERVIEWThis role supports development and integration of mission planning capabilities for Protected Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) systems by translating system behavior, operational workflows, and interface interactions into clear system requirements and engineering artifacts.
The Systems Engineer will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams supporting mission planning applications and ground system integration. Responsibilities include supporting requirements development, contributing to architecture artifacts and interface definitions, and assisting with integration and verification activities within an Agile development environment.
Engineers with experience supporting SATCOM system integration, ground system testing, or verification activities are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants are not expected to meet every preferred qualification.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS- Bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) or a related field.
- 4+ years of experience supporting SATCOM system integration, test, operations, or systems engineering activities (military or commercial).
- Experience supporting SATCOM mission planning, system integration, or verification activities including communications planning, monitoring, testing, or system evaluation.
- Experience working with SATCOM Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), system requirements, system interfaces, or integration documentation.
- Experience supporting development or maintenance of engineering artifacts such as system requirements, interface definitions, test documentation, or verification plans.
- MUST have the ability to obtain a Top Secret/SCI clearance (U.S. citizenship required).
- Ability to work onsite due to the classified nature of the project and travel up to 20%.
PERFERRED QUALIFICATIONS- Active Secret clearance with the ability to obtain a Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance (U.S. citizenship required).
- Experience supporting integration or verification of Protected SATCOM systems such as Milstar, Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF), or Enhanced Polar System (EPS).
- Familiarity with Extremely High Frequency (EHF) SATCOM mission planning concepts including resource allocation, apportionment, and terminal operations.
- Experience supporting system test environments, integration labs, simulation environments, or digital test capabilities supporting SATCOM ground systems.
- Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) concepts and tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler.
- Experience with engineering analysis or modeling tools such as MATLAB, Systems Tool Kit (STK), SQL, or scripting languages.
- Familiarity with Agile development processes including sprint planning, backlog refinement, or engineering demonstrations.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES- Support development and refinement of system requirements for SATCOM mission planning capabilities.
- Translate operational workflows, system interfaces, and behaviors observed during integration or testing into clear, testable system requirements.
- Contribute to mission planning architecture artifacts and interface definitions supporting integration with command and control, ground segment, and operations support services.
- Maintain requirements traceability between system requirements, architecture artifacts, and verification methods.
- Support integration and verification planning for mission planning applications in coordination with system engineering and test teams.
- Participate in Agile development activities including backlog refinement, technical discussions, and engineering demonstrations.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS- Salary Range: Starting at $95,000 annually (based on experience and qualifications)
- Benefits Include:
- 70% company-paid medical insurance
- 100% company-paid dental and vision coverage
