TL;DR · Traffic Modeling System Engineer

As a Traffic Modeling System Engineer for Missile Tracking (Space Force), you will join a cross-functional team supporting the Space Development Agency Ground, Management and Integration program. You will be responsible for developing and deploying ground operational systems for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture. Your daily work involves decomposing requirements into models of traffic data flow from satellite constellations to ground networks, scheduling satellite services to track missiles, and analyzing missile tracking data to validate these models. You will also identify opportunities to apply AI for continuous improvement. Key technical skills include modeling communication data for satellite constellations and ground networks, experience with Satellite to Ground RF communication protocols, packet prioritization, routing, sensor fusion techniques, image processing, and cloud technologies. This role addresses the critical challenge of managing complex orbital infrastructure and missile tracking data.

What you'll do

  • Decompose requirements into models of traffic data flow from satellite constellations to ground networks.
  • Schedule pre-planned or ad-hoc satellite services to track missiles.
  • Analyze missile tracking data to validate the accuracy of the traffic model.
  • Identify opportunities to apply AI for continuous system improvement and innovation.
  • Manage the evolution, integration, testing, and maintenance of ground operational systems.
  • Design logic and assess satellite services specifically for missile tracking tasks.
  • Support infrastructure management including development, systems engineering, and site support.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Must possess a Top Secret security clearance with Polygraph eligibility at the time of hire.
  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, Technology, or Mathematics field.
  • 5+ years of job-related experience, or a Master's degree plus 3 years of job-related experience.
  • Agile experience (preferred).
  • Experience modeling communication data using satellite constellations and ground networks (preferred).
  • Satellite to Ground RF communication protocol, end-to-end packet prioritization, routing, or traffic modeling experience (preferred).
  • Missile tracking systems design, sensor fusion, cloud technologies, or image processing experience (preferred).
