About The Position

ENSCO Inc is a diverse engineering and technology company that provides engineering, science and advanced technology solutions that guarantee mission success, safety, and security to governments and private industries worldwide. ENSCO is seeking an experienced Software Delivery Lead to support the MILSATCOM Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (MSEIT) contract at Space Systems Command (SSC). This role is responsible for actively coordinating software deliveries and operational acceptance activities across Agile development teams, operational stakeholders, and mission organizations supporting U.S. Space Force capabilities. The Software Delivery Lead serves as a hands-on execution and coordination lead focused on getting software capabilities operationally accepted and delivered into mission environments. The role requires close daily interaction with development teams, OA authorities, cyber organizations, operational users, and government leadership to ensure releases remain aligned, executable, and synchronized across the program. The environment includes multiple heterogeneous development, integration, and operational ecosystems with differing deployment constraints, operational requirements, and acceptance timelines. This role requires balancing those constraints while maximizing delivery throughput and operational effectiveness across the program. This position also helps inform the ongoing evolution of operational acceptance processes as the program transitions from large, infrequent OA drops toward more continuous integration and deployment approaches. However, the primary focus is software delivery execution, release coordination, and operational synchronization rather than process ownership alone. This position is on-site at Colorado Springs, CO or El Segundo, CA.
