Job description

Teltrium is a technical services company that provides systems engineering and project execution support and capabilities to satellite communications and spectrum management technology programs for NASA and other customers.

We believe:

• In the tremendous power of space exploration to benefit humanity
• In the essential role space systems and networks play in bringing those benefits to life
• In realizing the potential of human ingenuity to unlock that power
• In inspiring tomorrow’s explorers and innovators

We:

• Employ subject matter experts and thought leaders to bring our customers’ vision to reality by developing strategic plans and executing technical analyses.
• Give our engineering team the freedom to stretch boundaries to develop space systems, improve RF communications systems and create space system analysis and planning tools.
• Develop education and outreach materials to foster the next generation of space scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs.

The Senior Solutions and Analysis Lead serves as the technical authority for mission and network analysis, developing advanced analytical methods, algorithms, and tools in support of space communications missions. This role combines deep technical expertise with leadership of a small, multi‑disciplinary team and close collaboration with stakeholders to deliver insights that shape current operations and future network architectures. Key responsibilities include:

• Develop and advance quantitative models, algorithms, and simulation frameworks grounded in systems engineering and communications theory to expand mission analysis tool capabilities and assess current and future space communications networks.
• Provide technical leadership to a multi‑disciplinary team by setting analytical direction, defining modeling and algorithmic approaches, and ensuring the rigor, traceability, and validity of analysis products.
• Lead complex system analyses using developed models and frameworks, including analyses of alternatives, network loading and capacity studies, coverage assessments, and RF communications link analyses.
• Define system requirements, architectures, and designs for analytical tools, and establish verification and validation (V&V) strategies to ensure tools and results satisfy stakeholder requirements and concepts of operations.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to elicit and refine technical and operational requirements, translate mission objectives into analytically tractable problems, and deliver clear, actionable recommendations to senior leadership and program management.
• Establish and maintain end‑to‑end analysis processes, and prepare and present high‑quality technical reports and briefings that communicate methodologies, results, assumptions, risks, and tradeoffs to decision‑makers.

Qualifications

Education/Experience: Bachelor’s degree with at least 5 years of relevant industry/project experience, or a Master’s degree with at least 3 years of relevant industry/project experience, in Electrical Engineering or Physics.

Role / Work Schedule

This is a full-time, on‑site position in Greenbelt, MD
