Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the development of secure and resilient space systems-of-systems architectures to support US Space Force missions. Translate mission intent into technical constructs and lead engineering teams to create architecture views and system-level requirements.
Requires a bachelor's degree in a technical field and at least 10 years of professional experience in systems engineering or architecture. Must be a U.S. citizen capable of obtaining and maintaining a TS/SCI security clearance.
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.
Defense Systems Group (DSG) provides analysis-based decision support to senior leaders on space architectures, policy and strategy, technology development, warfighter capability enablers, systems integration, defense industrial base, and threat reduction to help shape existing and future space missions across the national security space (NSS) enterprise. DSG is unique at Aerospace as it not only directly supports major customers, including the U.S. Space Force, U.S. Space Command, Air Force Materiel Command, and senior leadership at the Pentagon, but also provides a broad range of technical support across the national space enterprise, maintaining vertical responsibilities with customers’ portfolios as well as horizontal, matrixed responsibilities across the corporation. Additionally, DSG provides deep technical expertise to the Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) in the conception, design, acquisition, launch and operations of satellite, launch vehicle, ground control, and range systems.
Space and cyberspace are increasingly interdependent, and with the accelerating move to software-based systems and use of emerging technologies (e.g. AI) the ability to architect systems-of-systems to operate with high reliability and security is of paramount importance. The Cyber Architectures & Integration organization is focused on supporting the US Space Force and partners identify and acquire resilient and secure space systems-of-systems and apply Artificial Intelligence in selected applications, including systems acquisition and security. Core efforts include the development of mission engineering products in support of the USSF Cyberwarfare mission by applying systems engineering and architecture principles to define cybersecurity capabilities and solutions that enable system-level design and assessment.
The Systems-of-Systems Engineer/Architect will lead efforts to collaborate with customers; identify capability, architecture and documentation gaps; and lead projects aimed at developing coordinated and analysis-based products and approaches to address the gaps. These efforts will include capability definition for systems across the space architecture including Space Vehicle (SV) Systems, spanning bus, payloads, and onboard subsystems as well as ground and user systems. Development of products to enhance mission effectiveness, including standards, models, and architecture views, is the critical objective.
The selected candidate will be required to work full-time on-site at our facility in El Segundo, CA.
