About The Position

MTSI is searching for a senior Digital Systems/Test Engineer to support the development of first-of-kind space vehicles and missions. This handpicked candidate must possess technical expertise and experience with developing, designing, building, and integrating space hardware and software. In this position, you will provide System Engineering Technical Assistance (SETA) to the Space Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO). The Space RCO program office, located at Kirtland AFB, NM, is a small, streamlined organization with dedicated, organic acquisition support functions: contracting, financial management, human resources, security, program management and technical engineering support that are critical in enabling the rapid response required for classified space programs. The mission is to develop and deliver operationally dominant space capabilities at the speed of warfighting relevance in response to Commander, U.S. Space Command requirements. A successful candidate should be a leader and problem solver with a proven ability to deliver superior results as part of a high-performing team in a high-profile, fast-paced environment. Digital Systems/Test Engineer Principal Duty You will work in a small, highly empowered team where every team member is directly responsible for the success of the program. Engineering responsibilities span technology domains including space rated hardware, software, sensors, and processors in an extremely fast-paced, responsive development environment. This SETA candidate will assist the government PM to create, develop, and improve digital engineering systems and tools, taking a lead role in overseeing the entire process from concept to implementation. Configure and evaluate system architecture and use model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methodologies, modeling languages (such as SysML/UML), and simulation tools to assess and refine designs. Take an active role in leading validation and verification processes and developing testing programs. You must apply advanced principles, theories, and concepts for highly classified systems, while also effectively communicating complex results with management and executive leadership. SETA Role and Responsibilities: · Supports design, interpretation, and analysis of technical solutions to complex projects. · Leads or supports technical programs, projects, or tasks whose technical complexity requires engineering oversight. · Ensures completion of programs, projects, or tasks within estimated time frames and budget constraints. Provides input to the government customer concerning risks to performance, schedule, and budget due to either proposed contractor plans or contractor’s execution of accepted plans. · Ensures the quality of the program, project, or task deliverables meet or exceed standards or metrics and assesses such deliverables to ensure that final deliverables will meet the warfighting purpose for which they are intended. · Plans and performs engineering research, design development, and other engineering assignments in conformance with design, engineering, and customer specifications. · Responsible for the overall technical/engineering portions of major project(s) or program(s). · Coordinates with multiple partners/agencies to ensure system engineering · communities support delivery milestones. · Tracks and advises design trades and associated cost, schedule, and technical impacts to requirements. · Supports design, interpretation, and analysis of technical solutions to complex discipline-specific testing in a digital environment Communicate clearly, concisely, and with technical accuracy—oral and written
