The System Integration Engineer will support transition, integration, and execution of a complex, multi-orbit Satellite Ground Resource Management System from its current contract owners. This program will have elements of sustainment, modification, discrepancy resolution, system enhancement, and new development for future system utilization.
The System Integration Engineer is responsible for testing, installing, and integrating software releases into existing operational systems while ensuring successful deployment with minimal operational impact. Develops, maintains, and executes detailed software installation plans that incorporate lessons learned from previous deployment cycles. Coordinates with government customers to assess, quantify, and mitigate system risks; facilitates coordination meetings; and develops, evaluates, and presents solutions to resolve technical and operational issues. Leads installation activities from planning through execution and closeout, working with project teams to establish realistic build schedules and ensuring milestones are achieved. Upon completion of each installation cycle, conducts closeout activities, captures lessons learned, briefs government customers on results, and ensures findings are incorporated into future development, deployment, and planning efforts. Maintains configuration management of system tools within appropriate source control environments and supports developers in managing software package registries, build processes, and software delivery. Collaborates with software development, systems engineering, test, and operations teams to perform technical analysis, evaluations, and design trade studies; identify and implement process improvements; troubleshoot and resolve build errors; and ensure software releases meet operational requirements and deployment objectives.
