  • Develop system concepts, trade studies, and CONOPS that align ground and mission operations with overall mission objectives 

  • Serve as the technical interface to customers, translating mission requirements into feasible technical solutions 

  • Collaborate with subsystem experts across ground, software, and spacecraft domains to 
    ensure design compatibility and integration 

  • Define and document system-level interfaces, data flows, and communication protocols between space and ground assets 

  • Manage roadmap for sensor data integration into the ground system and define approach for evolving ground capabilities to deliver greater value and functionality to end users 

  • Support mission analysis, operations concepts, and performance modeling as they relate to ground and mission systems 

  • Participate in proposals, customer briefings, and technical reviews, articulating the value and feasibility of mission architectures 

  • Identify and manage technical risks, propose mitigation strategies, and support program management with technical insights 

  • Stay current on emerging ground, mission and sensor data technologies and industry trends to ensure innovative solutions 


Required Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field;  Master’s degree preferred 

  • 5+ years of experience in ground systems engineering, mission architecture, or similar roles 

  • Proven experience architecting or supporting mission integration between spacecraft and ground segment 

  • Strong knowledge with ground segment infrastructure, including TT&C, Ground terminals, data processing, and ground software systems 

  • Familiarity of satellite subsystems (communications, power, thermal, payload integration) 

  • Proficient in systems engineering tools (e.g., MBSE, SysML, DOORS, Cameo, STK, MATLAB) 

  • Familiarity with spacecraft design 

  • Experience with sensor data workflows, including tasking, ingest, processing and delivery to end users 

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills 


Compensation: 

The salary range for this role is $120,000 - $170,000 per year, depending on previous experience.  Pay ranges are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data.
