About The Position

Boeing Defense, Space, and Security (BDS) seeks a Satellite Systems Engineer to serve as Global Positioning System (GPS) Satellite Bus Systems Engineer to join their Intelligence & Weapon Systems (SI&WS) division and support the GPS sustainment program. This role is located at Schriever Space Force Base, near Colorado Springs. The GPS program is a satellite-based radio-navigation system providing global positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data. Boeing has a long history with GPS, currently supporting the U.S. Space Force by sustaining and monitoring the health and capabilities of 12 GPS Block IIF satellites. This sustainment effort is expected to continue through the life of the satellites, potentially beyond 2031, under a 10-year contract from 2022 to 2031. As a Satellite Bus Systems Engineer, you will be a key member of a team focused on critical projects related to the GPS IIF satellite constellation. You will train to become a subject matter expert for satellite Bus subsystems on the GPS Block IIF satellites, as well as for GPS performance trending and analysis. You will collaborate with spacecraft payload and secondary payload subject matter experts and interact daily with U.S. Space Force personnel responsible for commanding satellites and performance trending and analysis.
