Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Senior Staff Engineer will lead the development of acquisition strategies and mission architectures for critical satellite control capabilities. They are responsible for driving portfolio trade-space decisions and ensuring rapid transition from concept to executable acquisition actions.
Candidates must possess a bachelor's or advanced degree in a technical discipline and at least 10 years of relevant professional experience. An active DoD security clearance and U.S. citizenship are mandatory requirements for this role.
For more than 50 years, ENSCO has been providing leading-edge engineering, science and advanced technology solutions to governments and private industries worldwide.
ENSCO prides itself in creating and applying advanced technologies for mission success. We provide systems engineering, integration, and advanced technology services to transform the future safety, security, and resiliency of critical missions on the ground, in the air, in space, and in the information systems that connect these domains.
ENSCO Inc. is a diverse engineering and technology company that provides engineering, science, and advanced technology solutions supporting mission success, safety, and security for government and commercial customers worldwide.
We are seeking a Senior Staff Engineer to work directly with Government acquisition and mission leaders responsible for a critical Satellite Control (Telemetry, Tracking, and Command - TT&C) capability. This role operates before prototype commitment and turns operational urgency into a clear path to buy, prove, integrate, and field capability.
This leader will connect mission outcomes, portfolio trade space, commercial and industrial options, mission architecture, cybersecurity, transition, and production scalability. The focus is decision velocity: define the smallest body of evidence needed for each decision, expose risk early, keep multiple options viable, and move the Government from concept to executable acquisition action. Government decision owners retain all formal authority.
Primary Responsibilities
· Convert mission urgency into acquisition action. Define the operational outcomes, time-to-field targets, production scale targets, critical constraints, and decision evidence needed before the Government commits resources to a prototype.
· Set the acquisition strategy. Lead development of the Government-owned strategy across portfolio position, acquisition pathway, competitive structure, contracting options, prototype sequencing, funding decision points, fielding increments, and transition.
· Drive portfolio trade-space decisions. Frame clear choices across mission effect, performance, cost, schedule, integration complexity, cybersecurity, interoperability, time-to-field, and production scalability so leaders can act quickly.
· Design rapid learning campaigns. Define focused experiments, demonstrations, digital evidence, knowledge points, exit criteria, and off-ramps that expose weak assumptions early and prevent premature commitment.
· Build for modularity and competition. Establish modular open architecture principles, open interfaces, data-rights objectives, integration seams, and replaceable capability increments that preserve options and reduce vendor lock-in.
· Advance commercial-first options. Evaluate commercial products, Commercial Solutions Openings, Other Transaction pathways, non-traditional suppliers, direct-to-supplier opportunities, dual-use solutions, and co-investment models when they accelerate mission outcomes.
· Connect mission architecture to fielding. Align mission threads, operator workflows, interfaces, data flows, external dependencies, infrastructure, cybersecurity, sustainment, training, and operational handoff from the start.
· Create decision packages and scorecards. Deliver concise option papers, capability roadmaps, industrial assessments, decision schedules, risk and opportunity views, and portfolio measures centered on time-to-field, production scalability, and mission outcomes.
· Synchronize empowered stakeholders. Drive a high-tempo decision cadence across acquisition, contracting, finance, operations, intelligence, communications, engineering, test, cybersecurity, logistics, and industry participants.
· Lead through execution. Surface blockers early, assign evidence and action owners, challenge unsupported assumptions, mentor technical contributors, and maintain accountability through the next Government decision and transition milestone.
Qualifications Required:
· Bachelor's or advanced degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, software engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, engineering management, or a closely related technical discipline, plus a minimum of 10 years of relevant professional experience.
· Recognized as a top contributor within the technical community, with a well-established technical reputation and a record of influencing high-consequence mission and acquisition decisions.
· Demonstrated experience leading the creation or execution of an acquisition strategy during concept maturation, pre-prototype planning, rapid prototyping, or another early phase for a complex defense, intelligence, space, or mission capability.
· Proven ability to convert urgent mission outcomes into an executable acquisition pathway, competitive approach, prototype decision plan, measurable knowledge points, and fielding strategy.
· Ability to drive portfolio trade-offs among mission effect, performance, cost, schedule, integration complexity, cybersecurity, interoperability, time-to-field, and production scalability.
· Technical depth in mission architectures, operational threads, interfaces, data flows, external dependencies, modularity, interoperability, transition constraints, and integration risk.
· Experience designing rapid experiments or demonstrations and using evidence, exit criteria, and off-ramps to retire risk and accelerate commitment decisions.
· Experience producing executive decision packages, capability roadmaps, commercial and industrial assessments, portfolio scorecards, decision schedules, risk and opportunity views, and acquisition products that move leaders to action.
· Demonstrated ability to lead a high-tempo cross-functional team spanning acquisition, contracting, finance, operations, intelligence, communications, engineering, test, cybersecurity, logistics, and industry.
· Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present clear options, consequences, and recommendations to senior leaders and document a defensible decision record.
· Ability to work in a fast-paced, mission-driven on-site environment with periodic coordination or travel to vendor or mission sites as required.
· AN ACTIVE DOD SECURITY CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS POSITION FOR WHICH, YOU MUST BE A U.S. CITIZEN
Qualifications Desired:
.· Master's degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, software engineering, engineering management, acquisition management, data analytics, or a related discipline.
· Experience with Satellite Control, TT&C, space-ground integration, command and control, mission management, or other space mission systems.
· Experience working directly with U.S. Space Force, Space Systems Command, Space Operations Command, or another DoD acquisition organization to accelerate a critical mission capability.
· Experience with capability portfolio management, empowered portfolio decision structures, or portfolio-level trade-space analysis across cost, performance, schedule, production, and mission outcomes.
· Hands-on experience with commercial-first sourcing, COTS evaluation, Commercial Solutions Openings, Other Transaction pathways, competitive prototyping, non-traditional suppliers, or direct-to-supplier strategies.
· Experience applying modular open architecture principles, open interfaces, intellectual property and data-rights strategies, cybersecurity integration, and replaceable capability increments.
· Experience using digital threads, digital twins, AI-enabled analytics, or portfolio scorecards to measure time-to-field, production scalability, and mission outcomes.
· Experience planning transition to operations and production, including sustainment, surge capacity, dual-use potential, exportability, or allied integration considerations.
· DAU acquisition credentials or comparable credentials in acquisition, contracting, portfolio leadership, product delivery, or mission analytics.
· Current Top Secret or TS/SCI eligibility.
