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 owned by the U.S. government and operated by the U.S. Space Force, providing PNT data globally. Boeing has a long history with GPS, having achieved full system capability in 1995. The current team sustains and monitors the health and capabilities of 12 GPS Block IIF satellites, launched between 2010 and 2016. The team also provides reports and expertise on all aspects of the GPS system to the U.S. Space Force customer. Sustainment efforts are expected to continue through the life of the Block IIF satellites, with a design life expectancy to 2031 and beyond, under a 10-year sustainment contract from 2022 to 2031. As a Satellite Bus Systems Engineer, you will be a key member of a high-performing team working 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 closely with spacecraft payload and secondary payload subject matter experts and interact daily with the U.S. Space Force’s 2 Navigation Warfare Squadron personnel who command satellites and perform performance trending and analysis.
