The system architecture leverages AWS GovCloud, secure data flows, and modern DevSecOps practices.

This is a high-impact opportunity for candidates with deep integration experience in secure cloud environments, particularly supporting classified space or defense missions.

Key Responsibilities:

·       Interface with government, prime, and subcontractor development teams to synchronize software releases and integration timelines.

·       Support containerization and orchestration efforts using Docker and Kubernetes.

·       Identify, diagnose, and resolve software integration and system interoperability issues.

·       Manage Jira-based issue tracking and backlog grooming.

·       Develop, review, and maintain technical documentation including ICDs, software versioning documents, and user manuals.

·       Author and execute detailed test plans across all phases of integration.

·       Represent NewSat as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in design reviews, technical exchange meetings (TEMs), and sprint planning with both customer and subcontractor teams.

Basic Qualifications:

·       Active Top Secret (TS) clearance with SCI eligibility (must be current).

·       Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field with 10+ years of relevant experience, or 7+ years with a Master’s degree.

·       Experience integrating complex software systems in classified or mission-critical environments.

·       Hands-on experience with AWS GovCloud, DevSecOps pipelines, Python or Ruby, and networking principles.

·       Demonstrated success in leading integration efforts in support of DoD or USSF programs.

Preferred Qualifications:

·       Prior experience on USSF efforts such as R2C2, Enterprise Ground Services (EGS), or GC3.

·       Familiarity with satellite ground system components: Mission Management, Flight Dynamics, Constellation Management, and Orbital Planning.

·       Experience with tools such as GMSEC, C2MS, and AWS Diode.

·       Strong communication skills with the ability to brief government stakeholders and collaborate across multiple organizations.
