Job description

Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) is seeking an Intermediate Systems Engineer to provide Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support to the Missile Defense Agency's Missile Defense Integration & Operations Center (MDIOC) Mission Engineering Team at Schriever Space Force Base (SFB) in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This 100% on-site position is primarily responsible for supporting the MDIOC Chief Engineer for the maintenance and implementation of the MDIOC Technical Baseline as well as for development and integration of new capabilities into the building. Candidate must be a self-starter who thrives in a dynamic environment, can accomplish high-level tasks independently, and works well with other team members and customers.

Duties and Responsibilities

Standards & Technical Baseline Support

Support maintenance and implementation of the MDIOC Technical Baseline by applying established engineering standards, identifying documentation gaps and inconsistencies, and verifying compliance with approved systems engineering processes. Assist senior engineers in maintaining the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of Technical Baseline artifacts.

Process Optimization & Integration

Support continuous improvement of MDIOC systems by assessing existing engineering processes, analyzing technical and operational data, and developing recommendations for process optimization. Assist with integration of new solutions across MDIOC environments and contribute to development and maintenance of the System-of-Systems (SoS) integration strategy and MDIOC strategic roadmap. Utilize systems engineering, data analytics, and modeling tools such as Power BI and Cameo to support requirements management, end-to-end traceability, system integration, modeling, Verification & Validation (V&V), change management, and automated reporting.

Program Health & Technical Support

Monitor systems engineering activities and performance indicators and develop reports that provide visibility into overall program health. Analyze technical issues, identify trends and potential areas of concern, and provide findings and recommendations to senior engineers. Support development, review, and implementation of engineering plans and participate in technical reviews. Maintain and analyze system performance metrics to help identify, document, and resolve anomalies or performance degradation.

Rapid Response & Anomaly Resolution

Support rapid assessment and resolution of system anomalies by collecting and analyzing technical data, documenting findings, evaluating potential solutions, and assisting with implementation of approved corrective actions. Participate in unscheduled technical support activities and respond to emergent engineering data calls while coordinating with senior engineers and affected stakeholders to minimize mission impact.
