Job description


Join a mission driven satellite program at the forefront of national defense innovation. Our team is developing cutting edge technologies that directly support critical Department of War priorities, combining both proven and first-of-their-kind capabilities that have never been applied in space. Operating within a fast-paced acquisition environment, we benefit from streamlined authorities and direct access to senior Government decisionmakers, enabling us to move quickly and execute aggressive schedules using the most innovative contracting strategies available.
SAIC is seeking self-directed leaders who skillfully navigate ambiguity, solve complex challenges, and bring diverse expertise to a dynamic environment focused on delivering capability rapidly. Success here requires adaptability, initiative, and a willingness to wear multiple hats in support of a high impact mission. Candidates experienced as USAF/USSF acquisition officers (AFSC: 63A) or developmental engineers (AFSC: 62E) leading satellite programs in the USSF (SSC), NRO, or SDA, applying the full range of the systems engineering discipline (e.g., Requirements Development, Architecture, SE milestones: SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.), and/or DAWIA/PMI Program Management will be especially well-prepared to excel.
Job Description:
This position is for a Space Vehicle Test & Integration Engineer in Chantilly, VA supporting cutting-edge and innovative space programs. The Space Vehicle Test & Integration Engineer will work daily on-site with the Government to provide advice and guidance on technical and programmatic aspects of a critical space system; ensuring every mechanical, electrical, and software component of the space vehicle functions safely and reliably to complete its intended mission.
Job Responsibilities:
  • Develop procedures and tools to test all integrated space vehicle assemblies and verify space vehicle health before it leaves to the pad.
  • Perform as a SME in ground/test software, test equipment (propulsion and avionics), integrated testing of space vehicle high pressure and avionics systems.
  • Develop test criteria and pass/fail requirements for integration space vehicle checkouts.
  • Develop procedures and processes for validation of the space vehicle.
  • Identify and drive improvements to space vehicle testing and safety of space vehicle testing.
  • Provide technical leadership to the Government in identifying, mitigating, and solving applicable space vehicle and subsystem risks and issues.
  • Serve as the main technical point of contact between the Government and the design, build, and systems engineering teams, as well as, production leadership of external stakeholders.
  • Generate and deliver written reports, risk assessments, recommendations, and presentations to the customer.
  • Provide Government with recommended inputs and courses of action for technical and programmatic topics.
  • Foster communication and alignment among team members to identify challenges and corresponding solutions.
  • Evaluate prime contractor performance at milestone reviews ensuring compliance with technical requirements, and quality of deliverables.
  • Support system development from initial requirements verification through mission design, prototype development, and test.
  • Serve as the main technical point of contact, leading reviews, and translating customer needs into actionable test requirements.
  • Participate in studies and system trades for enhanced capabilities.
  • Support verification, validation, and test planning.
  • Provide technical and programmatic assessments of contractor designs at major milestone reviews to assess progress, risks and issues, and the ability to achieve mission requirements.
  • Engage with development contractors to evaluate designs, models, integration and test plans.
  • Develop documents and briefings to communicate work or study status and brief Government and industry as required.

Qualifications
  • Bachelors and fourteen (14) years or more experience; Masters and twelve (12) years or more experience; PhD or JD and nine (9) years or more experience.
  • Strong satellite systems engineering background.
  • Proven experience in streamlining test operations by challenging requirements and eliminating process waste.
  • Knowledge and application of Systems Engineering processes and functions with the ability to understand multi-disciplinary integrated systems.
  • Experience creating, reading, and interpreting electrical and fluid schematics.
  • Experience with integration and testing of propulsion and/or electrical systems.
  • Experience in planning and execution of complex test operations.
  • Experience developing test software, automation.
  • Experience in test equipment design and operation.
  • Experience writing test plans, procedures and providing go/no-go judgment and rationale.
  • Major government acquisition program experience.
  • Experience with space systems, including development of concept of operations, mission threads, and collaboration with stakeholders on interfaces; ability to conduct trade studies, define interfaces, and work with the developer to mature interface requirements.
  • Ability to absorb extensive technical detail and logically formulate solutions for execution on an inflexible schedule, often requiring integration of conflicting and, at times, incomplete data.
  • Systems engineering and system integration experience.
  • Experience with the Intelligence Community or the Department of Defense Satellite Program Office best practices.
  • Experience with satellite system requirements development, design, manufacturing, and test.
  • Excellent interpersonal, leadership, team building and problem-solving skills with a demonstrated ability to be effective in a government/contractor team environment.
  • Ability to facilitate technical discussions with SMEs.
  • Ability to communicate with a diverse audience of senior decision makers with varying levels of programmatic and technical expertise.
  • Effective communication, coordination, and customer engagement skills.
