- 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
