Senior Program Systems Integration Engineer
About The Position
KBR is seeking a Senior Program Systems Integration Engineer to join its team in El Segundo, California. The role is part of the Systems Integration team within Systems Engineering and supports the next generation of space communication systems for U.S. Space Force Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM). The position performs Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) activities in a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment, working with team members, contractors, government civilians, and U.S. Space Force personnel. Work is on-site in a secure facility because of customer security requirements. The MILSATCOM Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test effort supports Space Systems Command’s acquisition of secure, global, survivable, and protected communications systems. The engineer will develop and manage integration strategies across ground, space, crypto, and terminal segments, maintain technical baselines, apply digital engineering methods, and address technical risks and integration challenges. The role also involves leading working groups, assessing program documents and technical issues, and advising government stakeholders on potential courses of action. KBR describes its Mission Technology Solutions business as planned to spin off as Trinzic in January 2027. Employees who join that business before the spin-off are expected to transition to Trinzic when the separation is complete and will not need to reapply.
