• Help ensure mission systems are configured, integrated, and prepared to meet operational requirements.
• Support mission planning, execution, and post-mission review activities with a focus on system-level performance and lessons learned.
• Coordinate across government, contractor, and laboratory stakeholders to resolve technical issues and improve cross-system interoperability.
• Assist in the development of CONOPS, architecture products, interface definitions, and engineering documentation.
• Identify technical risks, integration gaps, and lifecycle challenges affecting current and future range capabilities.
• Support long-term modernization planning through structured engineering analysis and recommendations.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
• Experience with requirements development, verification, risk management, and technical baseline assessment.
• Strong understanding of complex, distributed systems and their operational interdependencies.
• Ability to work across organizational boundaries with government, contractor, and laboratory teams.
• Strong technical writing, communication, and coordination skills.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance.

Desired Skills:

• Experience with test ranges, missile defense, space systems, or DoD mission environments.
• Familiarity with radar, telemetry, optical systems, communications networks, or instrumentation architectures.
• Experience supporting CONOPS development and system modernization planning.
• Exposure to model-based systems engineering, interface control, or architecture analysis.
• Ability to lead technical coordination efforts in dynamic operational settings.
