Software Requirements Engineer

ASRC Federal Data Networks Corporation (DNC) is seeking a Software Requirements Engineer for a position supporting the NOAA Office of Space Commerce, Space Operations Division, TraCSS Engineering Branch in Suitland MD. The engineer will work with the government and various stakeholders and perform tasks related to the development, maintenance, tracking, and closure of TraCSS requirements. Tra Css requirements include system level requirements, requirements developed by the Government Business and Product Owners, technical implementation requirements documented in one or more supporting contractor Performance Work Statements (PWS), and other Government-approved requirements sources supporting the TraCSS program.

The Office of Space Commerce (OSC) is developing the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) to fulfill Space Policy Directive 3 (SPD-3). SPD-3 instructed relevant US government agencies to begin re-assigning many aspects of space traffic management (STM) and space traffic coordination (STC) serving non-military US space operators. OSC, under the US Department of Commerce (DOC), was identified to lead many of these efforts as part of a ‘whole of government’ approach.

Tra Css is the Office of Space Commerce’s cloud-based enterprise solution for ingesting, archiving, processing, and disseminating Space Situational Awareness (SSA) data and products. It will provide conjunction analysis and warning services to commercial satellite owner/operators to foster economic growth and technological advancement of the US commercial space industry. The system will store data from the Department of Defense (DoD), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), commercial SSA data providers, commercial and civil satellite Owner/Operators (O/O), and select international civil partners.

The Tra Css system will operate 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
