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, developmental planning, system of systems engineering, and threat reduction to help shape future space missions across the national security space enterprise. DSG is unique at Aerospace as it not only directly supports major customers, including Air Force Space Command, U.S. Strategic Command, Air Force Materiel Command, and senior leadership at the Pentagon, but also provides a broad range of services and support across the national space enterprise, maintaining vertical responsibilities with customers and horizontal, matrixed responsibilities across the corporation. As the Sr. Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) Missile Warning, Tracking & Defense Space Vehicle & Communication Subsystem Engineer , you will play a pivotal role in the transition to a new Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) MEO/LEO architecture. You'll guide USSF MEO acquisition on MW/MT/MD by overseeing multiple spacecraft subsystem design, development, integration and test activities to ensure success of the incremental fielding strategy. You will provid e both technical and programmatic support for a successful Epoch 1 Initial Warfighting Capability MEO constellation and planning for follow-on Epoch increments. The selected candidate will be required to work full-time on-site at Los Angeles Air Force Base , CA.
