About The Position

KBR's National Security Solutions team provides high-end engineering and advanced technology solutions to customers in the intelligence and national security communities. In this position, your work will have a profound impact on the country’s most critical role – protecting our national security. KBR is seeking a Space Systems Engineer to work with our team in Colorado Springs, CO supporting the Air Force Research Lab’s Space Warfare Directorate (AFRL/RJ). Ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance is required. As a Space Systems Engineer, you will perform engineering work supporting the development of operable systems capable of meeting technical requirements within cost, schedule, mass, and mission constraints. Working in collaborative, small-team environments, you will develop and maintain system models, research subsystem interfaces, support functional and mission analysis, and evaluate current and future space technologies. You will use standard systems engineering and MBSE procedures to complete assigned research, design, development, integration, and analysis activities. You will work with research and development engineers, modeling and simulation analysts, program leadership, and government customers to improve requirements traceability, support subsystem integration, identify issues early, and translate technical guidance and analysis results into usable engineering information.
