Software Systems Engineer
About The Position
This role is a hands-on Systems Engineering position supporting satellite ground systems and mission software development. The team is primarily focused on the left side of the Systems Engineering V, meaning you'll be responsible for defining and decomposing requirements before software is built. A large part of the work involves using CAMEO and SysML to develop and maintain system models, create diagrams, break down customer and mission requirements into implementable software requirements, and define how different systems and interfaces interact. You'll work closely with software development teams supporting areas such as Command & Control, Mission Management, and Mission Data Processing, helping ensure requirements are translated into software solutions and carried through integration and test. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys the technical, hands-on work of modeling systems, creating diagrams, decomposing requirements, supporting software products through the development lifecycle, and collaborating with engineers to deliver mission-critical space software capabilities.
