Serve as the technical authority and IPT Lead for the design, integration, and delivery of ground segment capabilities for satellite missions. Lead multidisciplinary teams to translate mission requirements into operational architectures and oversee the full mission lifecycle from design to on-orbit operations.
Requires a STEM degree with 10-12+ years of experience in satellite ground systems and technical leadership roles. Must be a U.S. citizen capable of obtaining a Top Secret clearance with strong expertise in systems engineering and mission operations.
Who We Are:
At SES Space & Defense, we are a trusted partner ensuring mission success for customers operating in the most demanding environments. As part of SES S.A., a global leader in satellite-enabled connectivity, we deliver multi-orbit, end-to-end satellite and technology solutions that provide secure, reliable, and high-bandwidth communications across the globe.
Our differentiated multi-orbit architecture combines GEO and MEO satellite systems with integrated terrestrial and network infrastructure to deliver resilient, low-latency, high-throughput connectivity at a global scale. With more than 120 satellites covering nearly the entire world, a global ground network, and thousands of deployed terminals supporting over 5,000 government missions annually, SES Space and Defense is a trusted partner to the U.S. Federal Government and national security community, allied governments, NATO, and agencies including NASA for mission-critical communications.
We strive to be the only solution when success is critical and recognize our people as our competitive advantage. At SES Space & Defense, you’ll work alongside a mission-driven team committed to integrity, honor, and accountability, delivering real-world impact across today’s most critical missions.
What You'll Do
In this role, you will serve as the Ground Segment IPT Lead and technical authority responsible for the design, integration, and delivery of ground segment capabilities supporting hosted payload and satellite missions within the PTS-G program. You will work directly with customers, mission stakeholders, spacecraft providers, and engineering teams to translate mission requirements into operational ground architectures spanning command and control, TT&C, mission operations, networking, cybersecurity, payload operations, and user-facing systems. Acting as both the lead systems architect and IPT lead for the ground segment, you will drive technical trade studies, requirements development, interface definition, integration planning, and operational readiness activities throughout the full mission lifecycle. This role requires deep technical expertise, systems-level thinking, and the ability to lead a matrixed team of engineers, subcontractors, and mission partners to deliver mission-ready ground solutions aligned to customer objectives.
Who You Are:
You are a highly technical systems leader with experience designing, integrating, and delivering complex satellite ground systems supporting operational space missions. You understand how mission operations, command and control, TT&C, networking, cybersecurity, payload operations, and spacecraft systems come together to create an end-to-end mission capability. You have a proven ability to translate customer requirements into executable architectures, lead multidisciplinary engineering teams through technical complexity, and drive successful execution across the full system lifecycle. You are comfortable balancing engineering rigor with program execution, influencing stakeholders across government, industry, and internal organizations while maintaining focus on mission success. Ultimately, you serve as the technical integrator who aligns spacecraft, payload, ground systems, and mission operations into a cohesive, operationally effective solution.
