About The Position

The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation’s space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space— delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you’ll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space. The Defense Systems Group (DSG) provides analysis-based decision support to senior leaders on space architectures, policy and strategy, technology development, warfighter capability enablers, systems integration, defense industrial base, and threat reduction to help shape existing and future space missions across the national security space (NSS) enterprise. DSG is unique at Aerospace as it not only directly supports major customers, including the U.S. Space Force, U.S. Space Command, Air Force Materiel Command, and senior leadership at the Pentagon, but also provides a broad range of technical support across the national space enterprise, maintaining vertical responsibilities with customers’ portfolios as well as horizontal, matrixed responsibilities across the corporation. Additionally, DSG provides deep technical expertise to the Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) in the conception, design, acquisition, launch and operations of satellite, launch vehicle, ground control, and range systems. Aerospace is seeking an innovative leader to address near-term, complex integration challenges in support of space system engineering efforts within the Contested Space subdivision. The Enterprise Integrator within the Architecture Definition program office will be responsible for objectively evaluating, effectively collaborating, and clearly communicating the integration of systems-of-systems. Operating within the Space Systems Integration Office (SSIO) in the Space Systems Command (SSC), Contested Space serves as a nexus for the integration of space enterprise architectures and capabilities. This position will require close coordination across SSC and mission partner organizations to ensure the delivery and closure of critical space enterprise capabilities across the National Security Space Enterprise. Working side-by-side with government counterparts and other FFRDC personnel, this unique and highly-visible position will tackle some of the most urgent capability integration challenges facing the USSF. The selected candidate will be required to work full-time, on-site at our facility in El Segundo, CA.
