Note:

This position is contingent upon capturing program award(s) and obtaining and maintaining associated business and/or customer funding. The candidate must obtain final clearances and program access(es) within a reasonable period of time as determined by the company. Continued employment thereafter will be subject to maintenance at the level of clearance and program access required for the position in the future.

The Systems Engineer – Level 2 will work in tandem with a scrum team of other software and systems engineers responsible for defining the product vision, managing the product backlog, and ensuring that all features align with business objectives. You will work closely with cross‑functional teams to prioritize tasks and facilitate the timely delivery of high‑quality mission‑focused software system solutions. Development is done within the Agile paradigm using the Atlassian tool suite, so you will need to work within an Agile environment.

You will have experience in systems engineering with space domain knowledge, and you will define the requirements, interfaces, processes, use cases, protocols, schemas, and sequences of interactions driving the software design for Ground Segment Functions. You will integrate and test software segments, automate tests, verify requirements, and deliver products to operations. You will be supporting a program through full life‑cycle milestones in Agile sprints to achieve the mission.

You will have strong verbal and written communication skills, operate independently with little oversight, and handle diverse assignments efficiently.
