Position: Enterprise Systems Engineer - Space-Based Sensing & Targeting In with Security Clearance
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, technology development, warfighter capability enablers, systems integration, defense industrial base, and threat reduction to help shape the existing and future space missions across the national security space (NSS) enterprise. DSG is unique at Aerospace as it not only directly supports major customers, including Air Force, U.S. Space Command, U.S. Strategic Command, Air Force Materiel Command, and senior leadership at the Pentagon, but also provides a broad range of technical support across the national space enterprise, maintaining vertical responsibilities with customers' portfolios as well as horizontal, matrixed responsibilities across the corporation.

Additionally, DSG provides deep technical expertise to the Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) in the conception, design, acquisition, launch and operations of satellite, launch vehicle, ground control, and range systems. As an Enterprise Systems Engineer within the Global Mission Operations (GMO) department, you will be responsible for assembling a holistic view of national security space systems-of-systems, performing objective evaluations of enterprise performance, and developing recommendations to unlock gains in mission capability.

GMO supports the Space Systems Integration Office (SSIO) of the Space Systems Command, and is responsible for ensuring sufficient space capability exists to fulfill the mission needs of space, air, maritime, and other users. In this role, you will coordinate closely with acquisition leads, field command units, mission partner organizations, and other FFRDCs to tackle some of the most urgent and high visibility capability integration challenges facing the U.S. Space Force.
