## Description

As a Mission Engineer, you will support Space Systems Command (SSC) and the Space Systems Integration Office (SSIO) in advancing BZC's Systems-of-Systems Engineering (SoSE) mission by developing mission engineering threads, conducting operational mission analysis, identifying capability gaps, and driving end-to-end kill-chain closure for Space Support to Theater operations. You will work across government, contractor, engineering, acquisition, and joint mission partner organizations to analyze operational requirements, evaluate cross-system dependencies, and identify integration challenges affecting the delivery of space-enabled capabilities to theater operations.

You will apply mission engineering and systems engineering methodologies to analyze operational scenarios, develop Mission Engineering Thread (MET) modules, identify and assess Risks, Issues, and Gaps (RIGs), and translate mission needs into actionable technical and integration requirements. You will evaluate dependencies across space, ground, sensor, communications, and command-and-control architectures, with emphasis on Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), Satellite Communications (SatCom), Theater Electronic Warfare (EW), Space EW, and Moving Target Indicator (MTI) capabilities. You will develop engineering assessments, requirements, and technical recommendations that identify capability shortfalls and inform enterprise integration priorities.

You will collaborate with mission engineering teams, program offices, systems engineers, and joint mission partners, including the Army and Navy, to define operational needs, drive requirements development, and address integration challenges across theater mission architectures. Your work will help leadership identify and prioritize capability gaps, synchronize enterprise capabilities, resolve cross-system dependencies, and advance the integration of space capabilities into joint warfighting operations to achieve Space Superiority.
