ENSCO Inc. is a diverse engineering and technology company that provides engineering, science, and advanced technology solutions supporting mission success, safety, and security for government and commercial customers worldwide.

We are seeking a Senior Systems Integrator to work directly with Government mission leaders and independently governed program teams delivering elements of a critical space mission capability. Each participating organization may hold a different architecture vision, acquisition path, technical baseline, funding profile, and delivery schedule. This role creates trusted relationships and shared technical evidence needed to bring those efforts together.

The leader will define the mission-level integration objective, make interdependencies visible, and influence programs to accelerate, sequence, narrow, pause, or protect work so critical elements converge at a common integration and fielding window. The focus is not scheduling compliance for its own sake; it is synchronized delivery of a usable warfighter capability with clear ownership, open decision logic, and risk retired at the earliest practical point. Government decision owners retain all formal authority.

Primary Responsibilities

• Establish the shared mission outcome. Translate operational need into an integrated capability outcome, mission threads, measurable effects, time-to-field targets, decision points, and minimum evidence required for commitment.
• Converge competing architecture visions. Create a fact-based forum where participating programs can reconcile different end states, boundaries, interfaces, data flows, standards, and technical assumptions into decision-ready alternatives and a coherent mission architecture.
• Build trusted technical relationships. Earn credibility with program leaders, operators, acquisition teams, technical authorities, cybersecurity teams, test organizations, logistics teams, and industry partners; understand what each team must protect before asking it to change course.
• Influence without formal authority. Use mission impact, transparent evidence, and reciprocal commitments to align autonomous programs around shared decisions while preserving each organization's accountability for its own execution.
• Synchronize portfolio timing. Map program milestones, critical paths, integration dependencies, funding decisions, contract actions, test resources, facilities, training, cybersecurity, production, and transition activities against a common mission delivery window.
• Recommend acceleration and deliberate pacing. Identify where a program should accelerate, resequence, narrow an increment, protect schedule margin, or deliberately slow activity so interfaces, evidence, resources, and operational users are ready at the same point in time.
• Create integration agreements. Define interface ownership, data exchanges, configuration boundaries, integration entry and exit criteria, decision rights, evidence owners, escalation paths, and commitment dates that teams can execute.
• Design rapid integration learning. Plan focused demonstrations, interface tests, mission-thread events, digital integration activities, and knowledge points that expose incompatibility and weak assumptions before expensive commitment.
• Preserve modularity and options. Advance open interfaces, modular increments, replaceable components, data-rights objectives, and competitive integration paths that reduce lock-in and allow individual programs to evolve without breaking the mission.
• Drive decision-ready trade space. Frame choices across mission effect, performance, interoperability, cost, schedule, cybersecurity, integration complexity, sustainment, time-to-field, and production scalability so leaders can act quickly.
• Maintain the integrated decision rhythm. Lead technical interchange meetings, architecture convergence sessions, dependency reviews, executive decision forums, and action follow-through; surface unresolved commitments before they become mission-level delays.
• Connect integration to fielding. Align operational acceptance, training, infrastructure, support equipment, continuity, sustainment, reconstitution, and transition activities so the combined capability is usable when delivered.

Qualifications Required
• Bachelor's or advanced degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, software engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, operations research, engineering management, or a closely related technical discipline, plus a minimum of 10 years of relevant professional experience.
• Demonstrated success integrating multiple complex defense, intelligence, space, cyber, communications, or mission programs that were governed, funded, and scheduled independently.
• Proven ability to build trust across organizations with different incentives and technical visions, influence senior leaders without formal authority, and secure durable commitments to a shared mission outcome.
• Experience reconciling competing architectures and baselines across mission threads, interfaces, data flows, standards, cybersecurity boundaries, test environments, operational workflows, and transition dependencies.
• Ability to create integrated milestone networks and dependency views, identify critical-path conflicts, and recommend acceleration, resequencing, scope changes, deliberate pacing, or off-ramps based on mission impact and evidence.
• Experience defining integration entry and exit criteria, interface agreements, ownership boundaries, configuration decisions, technical knowledge points, demonstrations, and operational-acceptance evidence.
• Ability to frame executive trade space across mission effect, performance, cost, schedule, interoperability, cybersecurity, integration complexity, sustainment, time-to-field, and production scalability.
• Experience producing concise architecture options, interface and dependency views, decision papers, integration roadmaps, commitment registers, risk and opportunity views, and leader briefings that drive action.
• Demonstrated ability to lead high-tempo technical forums, resolve conflict constructively, challenge unsupported assumptions, escalate decisions at the right time, and maintain accountability across organizational boundaries.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the technical depth to engage subject-matter experts and the clarity to explain consequences and recommendations to senior decision makers.
• Ability to work in a mission-driven hybrid environment in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and support periodic coordination or travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico, as required.
• AN ACTIVE DOD SECURITY CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS POSITION FOR WHICH, YOU MUST BE A U.S. CITIZEN

Qualifications Desired
• Master's degree in a relevant technical, operational, acquisition, or management discipline.
• Experience integrating Satellite Control, telemetry, tracking and control, command and control, space-ground, mission management, or other space mission capabilities.
• Experience aligning Government program offices, operational stakeholders, laboratories, test organizations, cybersecurity authorities, commercial providers, and traditional or non-traditional suppliers around a shared delivery outcome.
• Experience with modular open architectures, interface standards, application programming interfaces, data models, data-rights strategies, and competitive or replaceable capability increments.
• Experience with commercial-first sourcing, competitive prototyping, Other Transaction pathways, Commercial Solutions Openings, or portfolio strategies that preserve options and increase delivery speed.
• Experience using mission-thread modeling, interface simulation, digital integration environments, automated evidence, or portfolio analytics to identify incompatibility and accelerate decisions.
• Experience planning integrated test events, operational demonstrations, user evaluation, operational acceptance, transition, sustainment, production, or fielding for a multi-program capability.
• Experience with continuity, mission resilience, reconstitution, strategic depth, or sustained operations for mission-critical capabilities.
• Credentials in acquisition, architecture, integration, program leadership, product delivery, cybersecurity, data analytics, or conflict resolution.
• Current Top Secret or TS/SCI eligibility.
