• Support configuration management processes: maintain configuration baselines, coordinate change control activities, and ensure documentation reflects current approved design.
• Lead SEIT III and II engineers as they phase in; provide technical direction and review SEIT artifact quality.
• Contribute to verification matrices, risk register inputs, and test reports; support formal systems engineering reviews (SDR, CDR, TRR) as the requirements and integration lead.

• Experience supporting DoW, U.S. Space Force, or Space Systems Command ground system programs.
• Familiarity with SATCOM or satellite ground systems architecture, ICD structures, and mission operations system design.
