Join our advanced technologies team supporting a government missile defense program. You will lead systems engineering for space-based infrared data exploitation used for missile tracking, discrimination and cueing, carrying new capabilities from lab prototypes to fielded operations.

What You Will Do

• Plan and execute systems engineering for space system data exploitation supporting missile tracking, discrimination and cueing

• Work across four efforts: fielding Enterprise Sensors Processing Node (ESPN) capabilities, evaluating Enterprise Sensors Lab (ESL) prototypes, integrating the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), and building cruise missile indications and warning

• Take part in technical reviews at the SECRET and TS levels

• Evaluate infrared data exploitation performance during real-world events and help assess and integrate new infrared sensors

• Brief operators, developers and senior leaders

• Support the program manager on acquisition actions: getting contractors on contract, securing Government Furnished Equipment and Information, and assessing contractor performance

Required Qualifications

• 12+ years on missile defense or other large, complex DoD programs
