Sr. Ground Systems Engineer

Solvarus

Job Description

Job Description

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference in the government space? What if you could find a position that is tailor-made for your mix of development, engineering, and communication skills? That is why we need you to apply your ingenuity and bring your innovative ideas to a consulting advisory services company. Solvarus Consulting has been dedicated to solving the toughest challenges by providing support to the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. Help us shorten the time it takes to get critical tools developed and into the hands of Warfighters who need them and to quickly aid the people who need it.

The successful Ground Systems Engineer will support the Ground Segment Team on a new program focused on systems engineering and integration of new Space Domain architecture. Tasks include assessing the capabilities planned for the satellite vehicle Tracking and Transport segments, and how these interact with the ground architecture. The Ground Systems Engineer will support development of an implementation plan to ensure compatibility and interoperability of the combined system.

Duties Include:

  • Support efforts to perform System-level requirements development, requirements flow-down, interface design, integration, and verification
  • Work with the Ground Segment, Ground Segment partner and vendor engineers to develop solutions incorporating the requirements of space vehicle satellite segments and externals such as:
  • Custody algorithm hosting
  • Link-16 and IBS message generation, encapsulation, and routing
  • Ground segment interface into a mission data processing enterprise
  • External interface management
  • Payload planning, scheduling, and tasking.
  • Determine where gaps exist and perform trades to determine options including potentially performing or subcontracting for the work
  • Support development of a detailed Mission Operations Integration Plan in coordination with mission stakeholders
  • Work with stakeholders (Segments, Users, Partners) to define operational details, lower-level use cases, requirements, interfaces, and mission threads. Plans, coordinates, and documents solutions to total systems or subsystems using internally created and/or commercial off-the-shelf products. 
  • Analyses, designs, tests, and evaluates systems that handle Synthetic Aperture Radar data.
  • Evaluate the demonstrations, simulations, and testing required to demonstrate mission capability and document the interfaces, internal and external operations and resources required to successfully accomplish them
  • Provide input to Systems Architects to develop architectural and technical schematics showing interactions (e.g., operational functions, data, physical connections, and timing) among the segments and their various elements.

Qualifications:

  • Active TS.SCI Security Clearance w/CI Poly
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Engineering, Computer Science, Imagery Analysis, or related STEM degree program, or related equivalent additional experience.
  • Experience required supporting similar Space Domain architectures
  • Requirements management experience and experience writing system level requirements, allocating requirements to segments, performing trace assessment of implementation-level requirements to system requirements, and supporting verification & validation activities.
  • Space systems experience with specific experience supporting ground systems, ground architecture, and experience with Mission Management, Constellation Management, and/or Network Management software.

Desired Skills:

  • Master’s degree or higher in Engineering, Computer Science, or related STEM degree program.
  • Previous IC or DoD program/project work experience
