Senior Mission Integration Engineer - Environmental Monitoring​/ISR​/Space- Sensing

Overview

Stellar Solutions, a nationally recognized "Great Place To Work," delivers engineering solutions across commercial space and national security missions—from innovative new entrants to established space systems organizations. We bring talented, energetic, and immediately productive professionals to meet critical customer needs in systems engineering and integration, mission operations, program management, and strategic planning—helping teams deliver resilient capability to the mission with speed, quality, and focus.

Stellar Solutions is seeking a Senior Mission Integration Engineer to support a proposed Environmental Monitoring mission area within a broader Space-Based Sensing and Tracking enterprise. This role provides senior operational mission expertise, mission integration, CONOPS development, mission‑thread analysis, effects‑chain analysis, and cross‑domain integration support for government customers standing up and scaling space‑based sensing capabilities. The position is designed for an operationally credible engineer who can connect technical capabilities to operational outcomes and help the customer understand how Environmental Monitoring data supports mission decisions, effects chains, operational users, and enterprise‑level integration.

• Serve as a senior mission integration engineer with credible domain experience supporting Environmental Monitoring.
• Develop and refine mission threads, operational use cases, CONOPS, effects chains, and cross‑domain integration approaches.
• Translate Environmental Monitoring mission needs into actionable requirements, architecture inputs, acquisition priorities, operational workflows, and user‑facing outcomes.
• Support integration of sensing capabilities across space, ground, data processing, dissemination, operational users, and decision‑makers.
• Advise customer leadership on how Environmental Monitoring capabilities can support ISR, GEOINT, disaster response, maritime monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, climate/environmental intelligence, domain awareness, and national security mission needs.
• Support Define‑Assess‑Forecast‑Build activities by identifying mission competency gaps, operational integration risks, user needs, and scaling priorities.
• Work with systems engineers and digital engineering architects to ensure mission threads and effects‑chain analyses are represented in technical baselines, models, requirements, and architecture products.
• Assess inherited or existing programs to determine whether capabilities, data products, operational workflows, and user interfaces align to mission outcomes.
• Support cross‑mission alignment across Environmental Monitoring, AMTI, GMTI, Futures, Space Data Network, or other SBST lines of effort where mission dependencies overlap.
• Participate in technical reviews, mission reviews, readiness assessments, requirements reviews, integration planning, and operational transition activities.
• Define operational acceptance criteria, mission utility measures, data‑quality expectations, latency needs, dissemination requirements, and user adoption considerations.
• Prepare executive‑level briefings, mission assessments, operational recommendations, and decision‑support materials.

• 15+ years of operational mission, mission integration, ISR, GEOINT, remote sensing, space‑based sensing, Environmental Monitoring, national security space, or government mission‑support experience.
• Experience supporting operational CONOPS, mission threads, effects chains, mission integration, user needs analysis, operational transition, or cross‑domain mission alignment.
• Experience with Environmental Monitoring, Earth observation, remote sensing, SAR, radar/RF sensing, GEOINT, ISR, weather, ocean, maritime, disaster response, land monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, or related mission areas.
• Prior support to mission environments such as NGA, NRO, USSF, SSC, SDA, AFRL, MDA, DoD, IC, NOAA, NESDIS, NASA, USGS, or related federal customers.
• Ability to work across operators, technical teams, acquisition organizations, contractors, data users, and senior government leaders.
• Strong ability to translate between…
