Overview
The Systems Engineering Integration & Test (SEI&T) Engineer provides independent systems engineering and technical advisory support to the U.S. Government Space Force Protected Tactical SATCOM (PTS-G) Program Office. This role is centered on system-of-systems (SoS) integration, prime contractor Assembly, Integration, and Test (AI&T) oversight, and government-led systems integration and test activities. The SEI&T Engineer supports government decision-making by assessing technical readiness, integration risks, and test maturity across contractor and government systems, ensuring alignment with program requirements, cost, schedule, and mission objectives.
Conditions of Employment:
Must be a US Citizen
Must be able to pass a Federal background check
Must be determined suitable for federal employment
The Systems Engineering Integration & Test (SEI&T) Engineer will:
Provide direct support to the U.S. Government and the Tactical SATCOM Program Office responsible for Protected Tactical SATCOM acquisition, program management, and technical execution of prime contractor Assembly, Integration, and Test (AI&T) activities
Support government-led System-of-Systems (SoS) Integration and Test, ensuring interoperability across space vehicles, payloads, ground systems, terminals, and enterprise interfaces
Participate in regular technical and programmatic meetings with government stakeholders and prime contractors, representing the government's technical interests
Perform independent Space Vehicle Assembly, Integration, and Test (AI&T) technical assessments of prime contractor activities
Identify and assess discrepancies between planned and actual technical performance, including impacts to cost, schedule, quality, technical margins, and risk
Evaluate contractor AI&T readiness, test execution, and problem resolution effectiveness
Identify technical issues, anomalies, and risks, and assess downstream impacts to SoS integration and operational capability
Provide detailed written and verbal assessments of technical progress, integration maturity, and risk posture
Identify, elevate, and track technical and programmatic challenges requiring government attention
Develop and communicate clear, actionable technical recommendations to support key government program decisions
Examine system requirements that drive cost, complexity, or schedule risk, and identify potential alternatives to mitigate risk or improve affordability while preserving capability
Provide technical inputs to acquisition documentation, including Statements of Work (SOW), Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs), and Compliance Document Lists (CDLs)
Review proposed contractor changes to Class I documents, specifications, and compliance artifacts
Evaluate tailoring of compliance documentation and provide independent recommendations to the Government
Support test planning, verification, and validation activities related to SoS integration
Other Duties:
Contribute to internal knowledge-sharing initiatives, lessons learned documentation, and process improvement efforts related to SEI&T best practices
Support proposal development, white papers, and capability documentation as requested by program leadership
Assist with the development or review of technical briefings, program reviews, and status reports for government customers
Perform additional systems engineering and advisory duties as assigned by program management or government stakeholders
Qualifications
Required Skills:
Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to develop solutions to complex technical issues under limited supervision
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to convey technical details clearly to government leadership at all levels
Demonstrated ability to identify priorities and execute tasks with minimal direction or supervision
Experience supporting program office technical, schedule, and cost activities, including risk and issue identification
Experience designing, analyzing, and assessing spacecraft and payload hardware to provide in-depth technical evaluations and identify risks
Experience designing, analyzing, and assessing SATCOM ground systems to provide in-depth technical evaluations and identify risks
Demonstrated ability to provide independent technical assessments and develop well-supported, actionable recommendations in a government program environment
Desired:
Active Secret or higher security clearance
Experience with system-of-systems integration and test across space, ground, and user segments
Familiarity with government test frameworks, verification strategies, and integration planning
Experience reviewing or supporting Class I changes, configuration management, and technical baseline activities
Strong familiarity with acquisition documentation processes, including SOWs, CDRLs, and CDLs
Education:
Required: Bachelor's degree in a technical field such as Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science
Desired: Master's degree in a technical field such as Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science
Years of experience in a similar role:
Required: 5 years of relevant experience with Configuration Management (CM), with demonstrated high proficiency and familiarity with mature CM practices and procedures
Required: 4+ years of experience working in a highly competitive, multi-contractor program environment
Certification(s), Licenses:
Required: None formally required; however, demonstrated applied knowledge of systems engineering principles, AI&T methodologies, and SATCOM program management practices is expected
Desired: Systems engineering or program management certification, such as:
Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP)
Expert Systems Engineering Professional (ESEP)
Project Management Professional (PMP) issued by PMI or equivalent
Years of experience in a similar role:
Required: 8+ years of experience with SATCOM requirements development, Assembly, Integration, and Test (AI&T), system testing, and production activities, with demonstrated expertise in independent technical assessment and government program support
Desired 4+ years of experience specifically supporting system-of-systems integration and test activities across space, ground, and user segments in a DoD or U.S. Space Force program environment
Prior experience working directly with or in support of a Government Program Office in a technical advisory or SETA capacity is strongly preferred
