Systems Integrator Senior

ENSCO, Inc.•Colorado Springs, CO

1d•$140,000 - $200,000•Hybrid

About The Position

ENSCO is seeking a Senior Systems Integrator to work directly with Government mission leaders and independently governed program teams delivering elements of a critical space mission capability. The role brings together organizations that may have different architecture visions, acquisition paths, technical baselines, funding profiles, and delivery schedules. It establishes trusted relationships and shared technical evidence to align these efforts around a common integration and fielding window. The Systems Integrator defines mission-level integration objectives, makes interdependencies visible, and influences programs to accelerate, sequence, narrow, pause, or protect work so critical elements converge. The focus is synchronized delivery of a usable warfighter capability, with clear ownership, transparent decision logic, and risk retired as early as practical. Formal decision authority remains with Government decision owners. This is a regular, full-time position contingent upon contract award. The role is based in a mission-driven hybrid environment in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with periodic coordination or travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico, as required. An active DoD security clearance and U.S. citizenship are required.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or advanced degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, software engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, operations research, engineering management, or a closely related technical discipline.
At least 10 years of relevant professional experience.
Demonstrated success integrating multiple complex defense, intelligence, space, cyber, communications, or mission programs governed, funded, and scheduled independently.
Ability to build trust across organizations with different incentives and technical visions, influence senior leaders without formal authority, and secure durable commitments to a shared mission outcome.
Experience reconciling competing architectures and baselines across mission threads, interfaces, data flows, standards, cybersecurity boundaries, test environments, operational workflows, and transition dependencies.
Ability to create integrated milestone networks and dependency views, identify critical-path conflicts, and recommend pacing or scope and schedule changes based on mission impact and evidence.
Experience defining integration entry and exit criteria, interface agreements, ownership boundaries, configuration decisions, technical knowledge points, demonstrations, and operational-acceptance evidence.
Ability to frame executive trade space across mission effect, performance, cost, schedule, interoperability, cybersecurity, integration complexity, sustainment, time-to-field, and production scalability.
Experience producing architecture options, interface and dependency views, decision papers, integration roadmaps, commitment registers, risk and opportunity views, and leader briefings that drive action.
Ability to lead high-tempo technical forums, resolve conflict constructively, challenge unsupported assumptions, escalate decisions appropriately, and maintain accountability across organizational boundaries.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with technical depth to engage subject-matter experts and clarity to explain consequences and recommendations to senior decision makers.
Ability to work in a hybrid environment in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and support periodic coordination or travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico, as required.
Active DoD security clearance; U.S. citizenship is required.

Nice To Haves

Master’s degree in a relevant technical, operational, acquisition, or management discipline.
Experience integrating satellite control, telemetry, tracking and control, command and control, space-ground, mission management, or other space mission capabilities.
Experience aligning Government program offices, operational stakeholders, laboratories, test organizations, cybersecurity authorities, commercial providers, and traditional or non-traditional suppliers around a shared delivery outcome.
Experience with modular open architectures, interface standards, application programming interfaces, data models, data-rights strategies, and competitive or replaceable capability increments.
Experience with commercial-first sourcing, competitive prototyping, Other Transaction pathways, Commercial Solutions Openings, or portfolio strategies that preserve options and increase delivery speed.
Experience using mission-thread modeling, interface simulation, digital integration environments, automated evidence, or portfolio analytics to identify incompatibility and accelerate decisions.
Experience planning integrated test events, operational demonstrations, user evaluation, operational acceptance, transition, sustainment, production, or fielding for a multi-program capability.
Experience with continuity, mission resilience, reconstitution, strategic depth, or sustained operations for mission-critical capabilities.
Credentials in acquisition, architecture, integration, program leadership, product delivery, cybersecurity, data analytics, or conflict resolution.
Current Top Secret or TS/SCI eligibility.

Responsibilities

Establish a shared mission outcome by translating operational needs into integrated capability outcomes, mission threads, measurable effects, time-to-field targets, decision points, and evidence requirements.
Create fact-based forums to reconcile competing architecture visions, boundaries, interfaces, data flows, standards, and technical assumptions into decision-ready alternatives and a coherent mission architecture.
Build trusted technical relationships with program leaders, operators, acquisition teams, technical authorities, cybersecurity teams, test organizations, logistics teams, and industry partners.
Influence autonomous programs without formal authority through mission impact, transparent evidence, and reciprocal commitments while preserving each organization’s accountability.
Synchronize portfolio timing across milestones, critical paths, integration dependencies, funding decisions, contract actions, test resources, facilities, training, cybersecurity, production, and transition activities.
Recommend acceleration, resequencing, narrower increments, schedule-margin protection, or deliberate pacing to align interfaces, evidence, resources, and operational users.
Create integration agreements covering interface ownership, data exchanges, configuration boundaries, integration criteria, decision rights, evidence owners, escalation paths, and commitment dates.
Plan demonstrations, interface tests, mission-thread events, digital integration activities, and knowledge points to expose incompatibilities and weak assumptions early.
Preserve modularity and options through open interfaces, modular increments, replaceable components, data-rights objectives, and competitive integration paths.
Frame decision-ready trade space across mission effect, performance, interoperability, cost, schedule, cybersecurity, integration complexity, sustainment, time-to-field, and production scalability.
Lead technical interchange meetings, architecture convergence sessions, dependency reviews, executive decision forums, and action follow-through; surface unresolved commitments before they cause mission-level delays.
Connect integration to fielding by aligning operational acceptance, training, infrastructure, support equipment, continuity, sustainment, reconstitution, and transition activities.
