Job description

Space Defense Mission Analyst

The Opportunity

As a defense mission professional, you ask questions others don’t. You understand the nuances of complex situations. You use your skills to think bigger and push further, solving complex problems. We’re looking for an expert like you to create solutions for missions that keep our nation safe.

As a space systems and military technology analyst, you’ll bring your operational, tactical, and technical expertise to support Air and Space Force equities associated with the export of space systems and related military technologies across USSF mission areas such as Space Domain Awareness (SDA), Space-Based Sensing and Targeting (SBST), Space Control, Navigation Warfare, Satellite Communications (SATCOM), Missile Warning and Tracking (MWT), Theater Electromagnetic Warfare, and Space Access. You’ll support the development, refinement, and implementation of Department of the Air Force (DAF) export and foreign disclosure guidance for systems and associated platforms, equipment, subsystems, and processes that impact or operate in the space environment. You’ll proactively identify technology release and foreign disclosure (TRFD) requirements, challenges, and processes specific to space systems and technologies, and coordinate with industry, systems groups, the interagency, and other stakeholders to facilitate the export of interoperable systems to international partners. You’ll provide technical support such as briefings or papers, to USG engagements with foreign military and government officials.

You’ll be a trusted advisor to our clients, and we’ll look to you to identify, analyze, and evaluate complex systems, policies, and processes related to the release and export of U.S. space technologies and information to international partners. You’ll guide the work we do for the U.S. Space Force and the solutions we deliver for the security cooperation mission.
