Leads hardware and software systems integration for a next-generation MILSATCOM program. Responsibilities include requirements decomposition and allocation, integration and test planning, anomaly resolution, trade studies, technical document reviews, design reviews, and improving build and test efficiency. The role supports systems engineering across spacecraft and ground segments and requires eligibility for a DoD Secret clearance.

Performs systems engineering for a next-generation wideband MILSATCOM program, focusing on requirements development, allocation, flow-down, verification, and validation across space and ground segments. Coordinates with systems, hardware, and software engineering teams; develops verification plans and requirements documentation; supports system integration and design reviews; and performs interface definition, trade studies, risk, cost, and technical analyses. The role requires satellite or ground-segment experience and eligibility for a DoD Secret clearance.

Supports operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, configuration management, and recovery of complex Ground and Space systems. Maintains Linux-based computer systems, networks, communications equipment, databases, and synchronization between operations centers. Investigates software and hardware failures, validates system performance, resolves anomalies, documents deficiencies, and provides technical guidance to operators and engineering teams. Supports 24x7 operations and participates in system upgrades, working groups, and customer outage resolution.

Leads the System Performance, Software, and Simulation group across software, test, mission performance, and modeling teams. Directs integration and release planning, technical architecture, verification and validation, trade studies, risk mitigation, and capability roadmaps. Provides expertise in flight software, GNC, and high-fidelity simulation while coordinating multidisciplinary teams. Serves as the technical liaison to customers and stakeholders, supports contract execution and proposals, and owns technical delivery across schedule, cost, and mission requirements.

Leads early-phase systems engineering for missile defense capabilities, including concept development, requirements elicitation and decomposition, MBSE modeling, interface definition, technical reviews, verification documentation, stakeholder engagement, and Agile planning. The role requires direct customer interaction, missile or space defense experience, Cameo-based MBSE proficiency, and a final Secret clearance. Approximately 10% travel to U.S. customer sites is required.

Develops CommandIQ battle management and command-and-control systems. Decomposes stakeholder needs into roadmap features, documents requirements, creates MBSE architecture and activity models, reviews systems engineering artifacts, refines use cases, and collaborates across functions. The role also performs systems planning, integration, verification and validation, risk and cost analysis, and leads an 8–15-person engineering team.

Designs, develops, integrates, simulates, verifies, and debugs FPGA and embedded hardware/software systems for aerospace and aircraft mission programs. Creates FPGA IP cores using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL; develops architectures and logic designs; supports research and development; and analyzes system performance and reliability. The role also involves Agile collaboration, mentoring junior engineers, technical communication, and leading complex hardware development efforts.

Develops, tests, debugs, documents, and maintains software solving business or mission problems. The role covers the full software development life cycle, including design, architecture, integration, testing, requirements development, error correction, documentation, and operating instructions. The engineer collaborates with multidisciplinary teams, applies software standards and development processes, and may work with C/C++, RTOS platforms, Agile practices, MBSE, and AI prompting.

Leads the AIR6500 Joint Air Battle Management System program as Deputy to the Program Director. Oversees four workstreams, integrated planning, budgets, schedules, risks, contracts, customer relationships, governance, and executive communications. Leads geographically dispersed teams, subcontractors, and suppliers while driving delivery, transformational leadership, and program management maturity. The expat assignment is based in Adelaide, Australia and supports international defense and aerospace objectives.

Develop and integrate program schedules for the Orion spacecraft program, coordinating cost, schedule, resources, risks, commitments, and technical performance. Provide critical-path analysis, schedule risk assessments, performance metrics, and actionable planning data to program and senior management. Support proposal planning, cost and schedule integration, customer interfacing, and resolution of execution conflicts.
