Job description

Mission Platform Sustainment Engineer

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

Join a team responsible for keeping mission systems connected, compliant, and ready to perform. This role supports a platform that discovers, acquires, processes, and stores mission data, including streaming services, and plays a key part in keeping those capabilities stable, interoperable, and mission‑ready. You will work across systems engineering, software engineering, Information Assurance, and testing to help ensure the platform continues to perform where it matters most.

If you like solving operational problems, improving reliability, and supporting systems people rely on every day, this role has strong pull.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you broad visibility across the mission and real ownership in keeping it moving. You will support sustainment, interoperability, standards and policy compliance, build and deployment efforts, and mission partner coordination across systems people rely on every day.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and leadership is accessible. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful work with real momentum. Because we are a small business, your contributions are seen and your voice carries. Add in strong benefits, long‑term contract stability, a people‑first culture, and a hiring process that respects your time, and this becomes more than another operations role. It is a chance to work on systems with real mission value and real technical impact.

Here’s What Your Day‑to‑Day Could Include

• Support sustainment efforts to keep mission systems stable and operational
• Maintain interoperability across systems and critical data flows
• Help ensure compliance with standards, security expectations, and policy requirements
• Support development, refactoring, build, and deployment efforts
• Partner with mission stakeholders to support integration and issue resolution
• Contribute to testing, troubleshooting, and technical problem resolution

Minimum Qualifications

• Clearance: Top Secret Clearance with Full Scope Polygraph, must be active. We do not have the ability to sponsor clearances
• Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen. We cannot sponsor visas
• Experience: 10 years of experience as a System Administrator in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Five additional years of SA experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree

Required Skills

• Experience supporting implementation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of IT or mission systems
• Experience supporting operations, monitoring, and problem resolution in complex environments
• Experience maintaining interoperability, operational continuity, or data flow reliability across systems
• Experience supporting build, deployment, or sustainment in production environments
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and coordination skills

Desired Skills

• Experience with platform interoperability across connected systems
• Experience with Information Assurance, standards compliance, or policy‑driven maintenance
• Experience supporting mission data processing, storage, or streaming capabilities
• Experience working with external mission partners or integration teams

Compensation Range: $131,000.00 – $168,000.00

This salary range reflects our current market estimate for the role. Final compensation will depend on your experience, technical background, overall qualifications, and alignment with the position. We evaluate each candidate thoughtfully, so offers are shaped around the value you bring to the team.
