System Integration Engineer (MDA)

Auria is looking to hire a System Integration Engineer to support the Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) program. Primary work location is in Colorado Springs, CO at Schriever Space Force Base.

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program integrates the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, to see the battle develop collectively, and to dynamically manage designated networked sensors and weapons systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC is the force multiplier that globally and regionally networks integrate, synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations to optimize performance. This program is integral to all system ground and flight tests, which verify and exercise all current and future missile defense system capabilities.

The System Integration Engineer requires at least administrator-level knowledge but does not perform normal administrator job functions. Integrate C2BMC software into the C2BMC test suites at the MDIOC, primarily Virtual servers.

• Develop and execute detailed test plans and procedures to test C2BMC in an integrated environment or to test specific capabilities
• Participate in the integration of C2BMC tests with external elements and sensors
• Review and provide feedback on system specifications, development, test, and network documents as necessary
• Attend meetings with other C2BMC FAs, customers, etc.
