JOB SUMMARY

Galapagos Federal Systems LLC is seeking an enthusiastic and well-qualified individual to fill the Requirements and Cost Analyst Specialist position. This role will support the Requirements Management Corporate Process (RMCP) and join our team of diverse, skilled professionals.
The position’s primary responsibility is to assist in developing or validating rough order magnitude cost estimates for a multitude of space mission programs; assist in developing and writing requirements documents; and analyze space mission requirements submitted by Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM) units to incorporate into the Requirements Management Corporate Process.

The process ensures that all requirements are traceable to higher-level justification and strategic guidance. Validated requirements are then prioritized into material, non-material, and resourcing decisions, feeding into STARCOM’s Program Objective Memorandum (POM) (a 5-year requirements outlook), Operational Order (OPORD), and Unfunded Requirements (UFR) cycles.
