Enterprise Integration Project Engineer

The Defense Systems Group (DSG) provides analysis-based decision support to senior leaders on space architectures, policy and strategy, technology development, warfighter capability enablers, systems integration, defense industrial base, and threat reduction to help shape existing and future space missions across the national security space (NSS) enterprise. DSG is unique at Aerospace as it not only directly supports major customers, including the U.S. Space Force, U.S. Space Command, Air Force Material Command, and senior leadership at the Pentagon, but also provides a broad range of technical support across the national space enterprise, maintaining vertical responsibilities with customers’ portfolios as well as horizontal, matrixed responsibilities across the corporation. Additionally, DSG provides deep technicalexpertiseto the Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) in the conception, design, acquisition,launchand operations of satellite, launch vehicle, ground control, and range systems.

Aerospace is seeking an innovative systems engineer and technical leader to address complex integration challenges for contested space capabilities in support of the Mission Integration Subdivision's Space Control Department.

TheEnterprise Integration Project Engineerwillbe responsible fortechnical integration efforts for space control mission threads,performing Systems of Systems Engineering (SoSE) toidentifyand articulate integration risks, issues, and gaps (RIGs).This role requires objectively evaluating integration approaches, effectively collaborating across organizational boundaries, and clearly communicating complex technical issues to diverse stakeholders. Operating in close collaboration with the Space Systems Integration Office (SSIO) at Space Systems Command (SSC), this position will focus on integration of space domain awareness,operationalintelligence,andcounter-space operations across the National Security Space Enterprise. This position requires close coordination across SSC and mission partner organizations toidentifyand drivecritical space controlrisks,issuesandgaps (RIGs)to drive closure. Working side-by-side with government counterparts and other FFRDC personnel, this unique andhighly-visibleposition will tackle some of the most urgent space control integration challenges facing the USSF, requiring incisive technical analysis and the ability toexertinfluence.

The selected candidate willbe requiredto work full-time, on-site at our facility in El Segundo, CA.

WhatYou’llBe Doing

• Perform Systems of Systems Engineering (SoSE) toidentifyintegration risks, issues, and gaps

• Apply innovative analytical approachesandSoSEmethodologiesto uncover integration challenges

• Work across program, mission, and stakeholder boundaries to champion enterprise perspectives and articulate integration RIGs in Aerospace assessments on program roadmaps and systems engineering artifacts

• Develop technical guidance and inform technical assessments,leveragingAerospace ETG resources whenappropriate toaugment technical products in support of spaceenterprise systemsintegration

• Influence programs and stakeholders to drive closure ofidentifiedRIGs through technical credibility and effective communication

• Collaborate closely and effectively with government, Aerospace, other FFRDC and contractor support personnel
