Full Job Description
Information Systems and Cyber Division (ISCD) staff couple the latest in information system technologies, such as elastic compute clouds, containerization, microservices, real-time operating systems, and visualization frameworks, with expertise in cyber security, software architecture, software engineering, data science, Artificial Intelligence, process improvement, and software development to deliver responsive, resilient, high-performance software intensive systems to our Intelligence Community, DoD, and civilian customers.
The Information System Cyber Division is seeking an experienced mission focused Cross Pillar Integration Engineer to support our Digital and AI transformation initiatives. This hands-on technical role bridges the critical gap between modernized next generation Modeling & Simulation (M&S) software, enterprise Data Management Platforms (DMP), multiple computing environments, emerging agentic workflows, and the complex mission requirements they will support for Aerospace and its customers. In this role, you will work directly with cutting-edge M&S tools, mission data, and DMPs to enable agentic data-driven simulation capabilities and workflows across multiple space mission programs. You will be embedded in both the technical implementation and the mission context, ensuring that data flows seamlessly from enterprise repositories into simulation environments while maintaining fidelity, traceability, and reusability. Inherent in this job will be opportunities to significantly influence the future of digital capabilities for both the government and the Aerospace Corporation.
This is a fulltime position that requires: 100% onsite work Huntsville, AL
What You’ll Be Doing
• Design and implement data pipelines and integration services connecting ASOT platforms to modernized M&S software, enabling centralized data consumption across multiple mission programs while ensuring data quality, validation, and traceability
• Develop deep understanding of Aerospace customer mission operations and requirements to effectively translate mission needs into technical data specifications and integration solutions
• Provide hands-on technical support for M&S software tools across multiple customer programs, including configuration, customization, troubleshooting, simulation execution support, and results validation
• Build and maintain data transformation logic and adapters to convert enterprise data formats into simulation-ready representations while preserving semantic meaning of mission datasets (eg orbital parameters, spacecraft configurations, sensor characteristics, environmental models)
• Support migration of embedded legacy data to modern Data Management platforms, ensuring data integrity and establishing patterns for reusable, centralized data management versus software-embedded datasets
• Serve as technical liaison between data management teams, M&S software developers, mission analysts, and stakeholders across diverse programs with varying requirements and classification levels
• Develop scripts, utilities, and automation tools to streamline data preparation, ingestion, post-processing workflows, andoptimizedata schemas and access patterns for M&S workloads
• Collaborate with multiple customer programs simultaneously, adapting integration approaches to meet varying operational timelines and priorities whileparticipatingin technical reviews and program meetings
What You Need to be Successful
Minimum Requirements (Senior Engineering Specialist- Modeling & Simulation Engineering and Systems Software Engineering ):
• Bachelor’s degree in STEM or other technical discipline
• 8 or more years of increasingly responsible professional software engineering roles, especially related to DE, M&S, and data.
• Experience with simulation designs and related technologies such as HLA, DIS, TENA, Protobuf, Apache Kafka, etc.
• Hands on experience in designing modern software architectures
• Background in cloud technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Proficiency in one or more of the organization’s core computer languages such as Python or C++
• Hands-on experience with databases (SQL and NoSQL), data pipelines, and ETL/ELT processes
• Demonstrated ability working with APIs, web services, and data integration frameworks
• Experience leveraging software factories, DevSecOps, and CI/CD technologies
• Track record in building technical proficiency through mentoring and talent development initiatives
• Ability to communicate effectively through technical writing and presentations
• Willing to travel occasionally to corporate or customer locations to support efforts as needed
• This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is issued by the U.S. 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 STEM or other technical discipline
• 12or more years of increasingly responsible professional engineeringroles, especially related to DE.
• Experience in space domain modeling, simulation, and analysis
• Demonstrated success leading large-scalesoftware development andintegrationprojects
• Direct experience with cloud, data, AIservice providersand/or platforms
• Direct experience with DoD, NNSA,orcivilspace missions and capabilities
• Direct experience with data governance, metadata management, and ASOT principles
• Direct experience with AI technologies and practices
• Effective communication skills, to include the ability to explain complex concepts clearly and conciselyto various typesof stakeholders
• Knowledge / experience with specificDOD,NNSA, or civil space digital environments
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to bridge technical and mission focused stakeholders across multiple constituencies.
• Demonstrated problem-solving ability
• Demonstrated ability to foster collaboration across multi-organizational teams
• Current DoD TS and SSBI/SCI Clearance
