As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space- delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you'll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space. The Defense Systems Group (DSG) provides analysis-based decision support to senior leaders on space architectures, policy and strategy, developmental planning, system of systems engineering, and threat reduction to help shape future space missions across the national security space enterprise. DSG is unique at Aerospace as it not only directly supports major customers, including Air Force Space Command, U.S. Strategic Command, Air Force Materiel Command, and senior leadership at the Pentagon, but also provides a broad range of services and support across the national space enterprise, maintaining vertical responsibilities with customers but also horizontal, matrixed responsibilities across the corporation. Aerospace provides technical advice, thought leadership, and systems engineering support to Space Force. This organization is building and evolving the service's activities to ideate and design the Objective Force using modern digital environments and enterprise architecture models. In addition to directly supporting senior Space Force leadership, Aerospace also provides a broad range of services and support across the national space enterprise, maintaining vertical responsibilities with government customers but also horizontal, matrixed responsibilities across the corporation. The selected candidate will be required to work full-time, on-site at our facility in Crystal City, VA. What You'll Be Doing * Lead or support the integration of mission area analyses and engineering into the Objective Force within a modern digital environment. * Develop and implement approaches for integrating mission threads within the enterprise architecture framework. * Collaborate effectively in an on-site environment with senior Government leaders, Aerospace program offices, and the Engineering and Technical Group (ETG) to address complex technical and programmatic challenges. * Deliver best-in-class technical analyses and actionable recommendations that drive customer mission success. * Develop, foster, and maintain strategic relationships with field and headquarters offices across the United States Space Force (USSF). * Address the full spectrum of Space Force systems engineering and integration challenges by building end-to-end processes and models, and leading data infrastructure development activities. * Deliver timely, high-quality responses to time-sensitive staff inquiries and provide technical support for official correspondence to Congress, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Department of the Air Force, HQ Space Force, and the Intelligence Community. ## Related Videos - [Robots are coming into the wild!
