About this role
Overview
We’re hiring a Senior Systems Engineer to support a space weather satellite mission operations program, focused on designing and integrating mission-critical systems. This role combines satellite operations, command & control systems, and hybrid cloud infrastructure, supporting secure, scalable solutions for real-world space missions.
What You’ll Do
Design and integrate command & control (C2) and mission management systems for satellite operations
Architect and support hybrid cloud environments (on-prem + cloud) for mission-critical applications
Execute across the full systems engineering lifecycle (requirements, design, integration, verification, operations)
Ensure secure deployment of applications in compliance-driven environments
Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams (software, cyber, network, operations)
Implement automation and orchestration solutions to improve system performance and reliability
Support networking and data management architectures across distributed systems
Troubleshoot and resolve complex system-level issues impacting mission operations
Basic Qualifications
8+ years of experience in Systems Engineering
Experience supporting satellite operations or space-based systems
Strong background in command & control systems and mission operations environments
Hands-on experience with hybrid cloud infrastructures (on-prem + AWS/Azure/GovCloud)
Solid understanding of networking (secure architectures, routing/switching), systems integration, and data management
Experience with automation/orchestration tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes)
Experience deploying and supporting mission-critical applications in secure environments
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with space system protocols and satellite communications
Experience in DoD, aerospace, or classified environments
Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as NIST and ITAR
Exposure to DevSecOps practices in regulated environments
Why This Role
Direct impact on space-based mission operations and national security initiatives
Opportunity to work at the intersection of traditional systems engineering and modern cloud infrastructure
Collaborative, high-visibility environment supporting cutting-edge space programs
