What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an orchestration engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Orchestration Engineer, you need a solid background in IT infrastructure, automation, and cloud technologies, often supported by a degree in computer science or related field. Experience with orchestration tools such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Ansible, or Terraform, as well as relevant certifications (e.g., Certified Kubernetes Administrator), is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and the ability to collaborate across teams are vital soft skills. These competencies are crucial for efficiently automating complex workflows, ensuring system reliability, and supporting scalable, agile IT environments.

What is the difference between Orchestration vs Automation?

AspectOrchestrationAutomation
DefinitionCoordination of multiple automated processes to achieve a complex goalExecution of a single task or process automatically
ScopeIntegrates various systems and workflowsFocuses on individual tasks
ComplexityHandles complex, multi-step workflowsTypically simple, repetitive tasks
ToolsOrchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, Ansible Tower)Automation scripts and tools (e.g., scripts, RPA tools)

While automation involves executing specific tasks automatically, orchestration manages and coordinates multiple automated processes to streamline complex workflows across systems. Orchestration provides a higher-level view, ensuring different automated tasks work together efficiently to achieve broader objectives.

What is orchestration in the context of IT and business operations?

Orchestration refers to the automated arrangement, coordination, and management of complex computer systems, middleware, and services. In IT, orchestration is key for streamlining workflows, especially in cloud computing and containerized environments, ensuring that different services and applications work together seamlessly. It helps businesses efficiently deploy, manage, and scale applications by automating repetitive tasks and optimizing resource utilization. Orchestration tools, such as Kubernetes or Apache Airflow, are commonly used to manage these processes. Ultimately, orchestration improves efficiency, reduces manual errors, and enhances IT agility.

How does an orchestration engineer typically collaborate with development and operations teams to streamline workflow automation?

Orchestration engineers work closely with both development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams to design and implement automated workflows that manage complex systems and application deployments. They facilitate communication between teams by translating business requirements into technical automation scripts and ensuring seamless integration of various tools and platforms. Daily responsibilities often include troubleshooting deployment issues, optimizing automation pipelines, and maintaining documentation. This collaborative approach not only reduces manual intervention but also accelerates delivery cycles and improves system reliability.

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 National Systems Group serves as the technical advisor to the Intelligence Community and its mission partners involved in the collection and distribution of national and tactical intelligence, including electronics programs, advanced technologies, ground and communications, imagery programs, and systems engineering and launch.
We are seeking a Mission Orchestration Project Engineer (Project Engineer - Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning) to be part of the National Reconnaissance Office's SIGINT Ground Systems Program Office (SGSPO) within the Ground Enterprise Directorate (GED). This customer is responsible for the development and delivery of a SIGINT baseline ground portfolio and guiding the evolution of those systems to a fully integrated and resilient enterprise. In this position, you will be contributing to the development of the US Government's next-generation SIGINT Ground Mission Orchestration systems architecture with a specific focus on mission orchestration leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities (AI/ML).
This position requires 100% on site work in Chantilly, VA.
What You'll Be Doing
  • Provide technical support and contribution to teams comprised of diversely skilled engineers servicing a major portion of a large project to guide next-generation NRO SIGINT ground architecture development with emphasis on mission orchestration and AI/ML integration
  • Undertake major program segments such as system-level architectural analysis and conceptual design efforts for SIGINT mission management and orchestration systems
  • Work with teams of Aerospace subject matter experts in analyzing new AI/ML technologies, integrating new systems and sensors, and delivering a resilient, responsive SIGINT ground architecture
  • Proactively identify new AI/ML technologies and commercially available capabilities for integration into the future GED SIGINT architecture. Focus areas may include:
    • Agent-based modeling
    • Military utility analysis
    • Architecture capacity analysis
    • Mission Management (MM) evaluation
    • AI/ML-enabled mission orchestration and optimization
  • Coordinate with enterprise stakeholders to ensure that user needs are properly understood and satisfied
  • Establish and maintain effective working relationships with customers, contractors, and program management
  • Interface regularly with customer and contractor program management within the SIGINT mission domain
  • Assemble major briefings and reports for senior leadership on technical analysis and recommendations

What You Need to be Successful
Minimum Requirements for Project Engineer - Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning:
  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering, scientific, or related technical discipline from a recognized institution

  • Experience and working knowledge in one or more of the following domains:
    • Use of computer-aided simulations and analysis of systems
    • Development of software for the simulation of systems
    • Mission management or mission processing systems for space systems
    • Constellation tasking and optimization
    • Signal intelligence (SIGINT) systems and operations
    • Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications
    • US Government acquisitions
  • Demonstrated ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with customers, contractors, and program offices
  • Exhibits exceptionally high level of innovation, creativeness, and initiative
  • Strong written and oral communication skills
  • Willing to travel domestically approx. 25% of the time
  • This position requires a current and active TS/SSBI/SCI security clearance and polygraph, which is issued by the US Government. U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.
