TS-SCI- System Analysis Engineer

Space Communications Design & Analysis:

• Model, design, and analyze end-to-end communications systems, including waveforms, terminal networks, and ground/space hubs using purpose-built simulation tools.
• Apply Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and digital communications principles, including modulations, Forward Error Correction (FEC), and standard waveform families for MILSATCOM and commercial systems (e.g., PTW, DVB-S2/S2X, W-CDMA).
• Perform detailed link budget and closure analyses accounting for nonlinear distortion, adjacent-channel/self-interference, intentional jamming, and advanced threat environments.

• Conduct constellation-level trade studies and performance analyses across multi-vehicle space architectures.
• Evaluate multi-variable trade-offs (cost, priority, coverage, throughput) for constellation mission operations.
• Optimize dynamic allocation and scheduling of constellation resources, including time, RF bandwidth, transmit power, and onboard data storage.

• Translate multi-subsystem constraints into actionable engineering trades and optimization models.
• Partner with multidisciplinary teams to ensure high-fidelity system representations and drive architecture decisions.

• Review, validate, and document simulation models and analytical codebases.
• Maintain version control and collaborative development workflows using modern configuration management tools (e.g., Git/Git Lab).

• Build high-impact visualizations, including interactive dashboards, dynamic data graphics, and mission concept videos.
• Present simulation findings and technical trade-offs clearly to stakeholders to inform critical program decisions.
