Description

We are seeking you, a highly skilled and motivated Space Control Research and Architecture Development Analyst to support the Space Security and Defense Program (SSDP) and Space Warfare Analysis Center (SWAC) Architecture and Force Design efforts delivering current and future integrated space architectures for the United States Space Force Combat Forces Command (USSF/CFC) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). This position focuses on strategic research of current and future adversary space capabilities, engineering assessments, and the development of integrated adversary systems architecture products. Ultimately, this information contributes to the development and enhancement of space control architectures, evaluating emerging technologies in the space domain, and assessing strategic threats to ensure U.S. and allied space superiority. You will provide in-depth research, analysis, and recommendations on adversary space control strategies, systems, and architecture. You will engage with cross-disciplinary teams, interfacing with stakeholders across the Intelligence Community, Research and Development Community (Government Labs), COCOMs, USSF, NRO, SWAC and program divisions in the SSDP in the development and assessment of integrated architectures. Expertise in space systems, threat analysis, and emerging technologies in space control systems and operations is essential. Key Responsibilities: Conduct technical analysis, characterization, and evaluation of adversary threat to U.S. operations in and from the space domain. Efforts involve research and integration of information derived from intelligence and other sources to understand threat architectures, component system functions, operations, operational environments, and dependencies to identify limitations, vulnerabilities, and opportunities for mitigation. Develop, coordinate, execute, and refine analysis processes to integrate and assess analysis on adversary capabilities and impact to current and future operational programs. Conduct analysis and production associated with adversary space and counterspace systems, capabilities, forces, and operations. Coordinate and participate in Threat Situational Analysis Working Groups providing subject matter expertise on analytic processes and methodologies. Coordinate with internal/external organizations such as Space Warfighting Analysis Center, USSF Operational Units, Combatant Commands, Intelligence Community and various research and development organizations. Analyze policy, strategies, doctrine, law, regulations in support of mission operations Provide strategic planning and operational support for SWAC Force Design efforts, offering and analyzing new metrics associated with performance and resiliency.
