K  is seeking a Space Systems Engineer to work with our team in Colorado Springs, CO supporting the Air Force Research Lab’s Space Warfare Directorate (AFRL/RJ).

Ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance is required. As a Space Systems Engineer, you will perform engineering work supporting the development of operable systems capable of meeting technical requirements within cost, schedule, mass, and mission constraints. Working in collaborative, small-team environments, you will develop and maintain system models, research subsystem interfaces, support functional and mission analysis, and evaluate current and future space technologies.

You will use standard systems engineering and MBSE procedures to complete assigned research, design, development, integration, and analysis activities. You will work with research and development engineers, modeling and simulation analysts, program leadership, and government customers to improve requirements traceability, support subsystem integration, identify issues early, and translate technical guidance and analysis results into usable engineering information.

• Assist in efforts to create and extend system models using existing requirements, interface documentation, and related design and systems engineering documents
• Enable mission-level modeling, simulation and analysis using Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) by defining and structuring MBSE elements and data flow
• Assist in system-level integration, verification, and validation activities
• Develop and support the analysis of digital models for Space Vehicles and their missions.
• Demonstrate sufficient level support for framing conceptual challenges, developing and documenting methodologies to model, simulate, and analyze those challenges
• Communicate (both written and verbal) clear insights and observations based on complex analytical models and technical data interpretation to senior-level leadership and external customers
• Collaborate with a range of organizations and customers to obtain necessary authoritative data, analytic techniques, and assumptions so that results from the above activities remain consistent with the general analytic community
• Demonstrate technical ownership and accountability
• Provide MBSE and SysML or UML expertise and related support to the modeling, simulation & analysis (MS&A) studies team

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Math or Science
• Ability to obtain Top Secret security clearance (or equivalent)
• 2+ years of systems engineering experience
• Demonstrated knowledge of systems engineering concepts.
• Demonstrated ability to participate in cross-functional planning, coordination and task execution situations involving the full spectrum of systems engineering and integration activities
• Hands-on technical drive and accountability
• Collaborate well with a diverse group of skill sets and backgrounds
• High motivation, creativity, and flexibility to work in a dynamic environment
• Excellent…
