## Description

Are you looking for an opportunity to apply your technical leadership and software engineering expertise to shape the future of national security SATCOM? Do you understand complex mission environments, evolving requirements, and how software must integrate across ground, space, and cyber domains? Your ability to translate user needs into technical requirements, interface definitions, and DevSecOps aligned solutions makes you an essential part of delivering resilient SATCOM capabilities.

As a Software Systems Engineer on our Strategic SATCOM team, you'll help the U.S. Space Force build and modernize critical systems that enable global communications and decision superiority. You'll manage software requirements, evaluate software and associated deliverables, drive modernization strategies, and guide development teams toward secure and scalable solutions. You'll lead working groups, evaluate technology options, and deliver recommendations to government decision makers.

You'll collaborate with software developers, cyber engineers, SATCOM operators, systems engineers, and acquisition leads to ensure the software remains aligned with mission needs and integrates effectively with the broader SATCOM enterprise.
