Missile Warning Ground System Integration and Test Engineer

IESE Solutions is a dynamic small business with the mission to deliver the strongest subject matter experts, cross-functional collaborators, and mission-area-owners to US Space Force's most critical weapon-system integration responsibilities. IESE Solutions has multiple opportunities to deliver the Next-Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Missile Warning (MW) ground capability. The Future OPIR Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE) is the modernization of the legacy OPIR satellite ground system.

The current and previous generations of ground systems have been vendor specific technology dependent. FORGE has built an open framework that allows scalability, constant evaluation for improvement, and continuous new technology utilization. Employing an open framework fosters unencumbered collaboration across vendors and new technology to provide continuous functional evolution of the framework and resident mission-data-processing applications for Next-Generation OPIR and future mission areas.
The IESE Solutions team is an integral part of this cutting-edge ground system capability acquisition and development effort. Our engagement spans all phases of product development, including acquisition strategy development, generating technical specifications, state-of-the-art emerging technology consultation, employment of agile methodologies, ground architecture and design evaluation, and integration and test of incremental and operational deliveries. IESE Solutions also provides extensive technology evaluation to promote information superiority for end users.
IESE Solutions has an immediate opportunity for talented Integration and Test Engineers to occupy mission-critical roles in the developmental integration, testing, and fielding of advanced Next-Generation satellite ground systems.
