Staff SATCOM SME

As a SATCOM SME for the Ground Satellite Communication Systems, you will play a pivotal role in performing software development activities for our programs. The engineers will be working on design, development, testing, and implementation of all aspects of the systems development lifecycle for our satellite programs. They will work from and develop systems documents and specifications, follow written and verbal instructions, and conduct test and report data and results in prescribed formats. Basic Qualifications: Bachelor of Science degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) discipline and 12 years of related experience, or a Master of Science degree in a STEM discipline and 10 years of related experience, OR 16 years of experience in lieu of degree. Experience working within formal engineering, development, integration, requirements analysis, and/or testing processes for the development of complex systems. Experience working with satellite communications architectures ground, control, and systems segments, interfaces, protocols, control, planning, equipment, concept of operation, troubleshooting, policies, and/or procedures. Active DoD Secret security clearance investigated within the last 5 years. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with standard system engineering processes for the development of complex systems with familiarity with some of the following areas: architecture development, systems analysis, requirements and interface management, and Engineering Review Board representation over the total systems lifecycle. Knowledge base of Wideband SATCOM Operational Management System (WSOMS) or other MILSATCOM ground system architectures. Knowledge base of commercial SATCOM systems and their supporting ground and management systems. Knowledge base of communications or other sensor payloads, including planning and management of those payloads. Experience with enterprise management and network orchestration across multiple constellations and orbits. Experience or familiarization with analysis of satellite events, troubleshooting anomalies, outages, interference, technical feasibility, interoperability. Familiarization with DoD systems and subsystems (e.g. C2ISR platforms, SATCOM, data links). Familiarization with computer networking and cyber security principles and practices. Understanding of radio frequency (RF) theory as it relates to communications (including satellite link performance parameters, link budgets and interference calculations). Knowledge of advanced satellite waveforms and modem operations.
